DeSantis For President in 2024?

[SCBills]

Ya know.. I was starting to worry a bit that DeSantis, while an extremely effective leader, might not have the confidence/quick-wit needed to take on the political king of those characteristics …

 

…. Tonight is proving me that he just might. 

 

Trolling Trump by going to Des Moines after DJT cancelled his event due to a “weather emergency” is wild .. and I didn’t see it coming from DeSantis.

From everything I’ve heard and what I see, he won’t be a serious candidate until the next cycle. It certainly doesn’t hurt to have a practice run this time around though to gain experience, learn how to walk and talk, etc. His donors appear to be drying up also. It also isn’t a great climate for his brand  of politics on a national level, which you will find out shortly. You can already tell that most voters have no stomach for culture wars this time around. The stuff just doesn’t break through outside of your average drunk uncle visiting for Thanksgiving.

 

He also has a name recognition problem that Trump never had. Most voters have no idea who the guy is so a lot will hinge on his national introduction. Anyone’s guess what that will look like. Not very promising at the moment.

Sure.. if you believe everything Trump’s PR rep Maggie Haberman says, I can see how you believe that. 
 

I doubt you’ve ever watched a speech of his .. it’s far less focused on “culture wars” than you seem to think. 
 

However, in regards to the culture wars, here’s two things:

 

1) it is effective when the messenger knows how to discuss it.  See, DeSantis & Youngkin.  
 

2) The culture wars are starting to permeate the suburbs/normies.  The biggest issue for R’s (aside from messaging) was that this seemed like a non-issue to many in their life.  Not so much anymore.  
 

There isn’t a ton of polling, but in the ones that are out there, DeSantis is within the margin of error, or tied with Biden, in states like Wisconsin, Colorado and Virginia. 
 

His biggest hurdle isn’t the General, it’s getting past Trump.

NO books have been banned. 
 

You can still buy any book you want 

 

However (as always was the case before) books that have been determined inappropriate for young age levels have been kept out of school libraries 

 

You prove your ignorance when you state otherwise.

The list of books banned from school libraries prior to the past few years is longer than the list of books available in school libraries.

You are pathetically gullible. We have an entire semester class in high school on the Holocaust which has been spread to every high school in the past 4 years, previously schools could choose if they even offered it.

I just said it’s never the answer to any problem 

I like the fact that you are willing to admit that you believe children should be allowed to access all the porn they want no matter what age they are, I disagree vehemently l, but at least I know where you are coming from.

hopefully she can help that city.

 

According to the FBI's most recent data, the total crime rate in Jacksonville, FL is 3,569.3 per 100,000 people, which is 52.14% higher than the national rate and 65.78% higher than the Florida total crime rate1. In 2020, property crimes dropped by 17% in Florida, while the number of violent crimes edged up 2.3%2. Jacksonville is still considered the murder capital of Florida2. The crime index in Jacksonville is 8 out of 100, which means it is safer than only 8% of U.S. cities

DeSantis has a 60%+ approval rating in Florida. 
 

Won by an enormous re-election amount. 
 

Parents of school children in Florida overwhelmingly support him in “banning these books”.

ugh.  igniting social justice in an English/ELA class?

 

maybe focus on reading, writing, grammar, spelling, and so on

 

And in what sub section is that book, "best selling"?

 

From Amazon

 

This practical book provides teachers with step-by-step guidance for developing a class culture that welcomes curiosity and ignites social action. Student-driven inquiry has a lasting impact on learning, yet questions posed from students’ own contexts rarely serve to shape their understanding of the outside world. The authors show teachers how to use literature to introduce characters and worlds that exist outside of their students’ lived experiences. Through this exposure, students can develop questions that seek to build empathy for others, which ultimately positions young people to be change agents in their communities and in the larger world. This book translates ideas from theorists in critical literacy, student motivation, and culturally responsive pedagogy into practical approaches for the English language arts and social studies classroom (6–12). Each chapter poses questions designed to get teachers thinking about how to use mind-opening texts with students to address social problems.

Book Features:

Shows teachers how to use literature to help students navigate a shifting world.

Equips students with the skills to advocate for themselves and others, including using digital tools in meaningful, effective ways.

Asks students to face controversial points-of-view head on and interrogate the world in which they live.

Includes examples of discussions that lead to projects and opportunities that allow youth to do work in the community.

Demonstrates how to move theory into practice, providing teachers with the rationale for using inquiry as disruption if questioned by stakeholders.

Contains a scope and sequence that outlines an entire year devoted to inquiry, as well as how to break it down into individual units and lessons

 

Then amazon suggest this book.

 

Grading for equality.

Here at last―and none too soon―is a resource that delivers the research base, tools, and courage to tackle one of the most challenging and emotionally charged conversations in today’s schools: our inconsistent grading practices and the ways they can inadvertently perpetuate the achievement and opportunity gaps among our students.

With Grading for Equity, Joe Feldman cuts to the core of the conversation, revealing how grading practices that are accurate, bias-resistant, and motivational will improve learning, minimize grade inflation, reduce failure rates, and become a lever for creating stronger teacher-student relationships and more caring classrooms. Essential reading for schoolwide and individual book study or for student advocates, Grading for Equity provides

A critical historical backdrop, describing how our inherited system of grading was originally set up as a sorting mechanism to provide or deny opportunity, control students, and endorse a "fixed mindset" about students’ academic potential―practices that are still in place a century later

A summary of the research on motivation and equitable teaching and learning, establishing a rock-solid foundation and a "true north" orientation toward equitable grading practices

Specific grading practices that are more equitable, along with teacher examples, strategies to solve common hiccups and concerns, and evidence of effectiveness

Reflection tools for facilitating individual or group engagement and understanding

As Joe writes, "Grading practices are a mirror not just for students, but for us as their teachers." Each one of us should start by asking, "What do my grading practices say about who I am and what I believe?" Then, let’s make the choice to do things differently . . . with Grading for Equity as a dog-eared reference.

Any Democrats here want to comment on the book in reference in that NBC tweet?

Sorry, but I refuse to believe the entire LGBTQ community wants that trash read to minors in school.  
 

Again, I’ll give y’all the benefit of the doubt re: political tribalism, because I truly hope you don’t believe minors should be learning about rimming, how to take c*mshots, gangbangs, eating poop and strap-ons.

They just parrot the phrase “book banning” hoping to portray those that oppose books teaching kids how to be trans or dance on a pole as fascist.

DeSantis Notches Key Endorsements in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Florida

by Brittany Bernstein

 

Florida governor Ron DeSantis has secured a number of endorsements in New Hampshire and Iowa in recent days, as well as key endorsements in his home state of Florida as he is expected to soon join the 2024 presidential race. DeSantis made headlines over the weekend as he interacted one-on-one with voters in Iowa, shedding his reputation as a leader who struggles with retail politicking.

This Republican primary poll in Georgia has Trump up 40-32 on DeSantis.  Which of course is a disaster for Trump.  
 

Worse for Trump is his favorability is 56%. 
 

 

DeSantis - 75% Favorability.  

 

DeSantis needs to keep doing what he’s doing and he’ll be the nominee.

DeSantis has had a good past few days.  
 

Iowa, followed by the Georgia poll. 
 

He’s not going to beat Trump in any national polls anytime soon .. but what he will do, is make it very interesting if he can start winning primary states.  
 

He’s looking good in places like Iowa and NH… and in GA, if he’s close now, he’ll pull ahead when Kemp endorses him.

The correct answer is that all students should be well informed of the horrors of the holocaust so it never happens again.  I remember watching footage of bodies being bulldozed, piles of stolen jewelry and emaciated concentration camp victims in parochial grammar school and I believe it was the right thing.

Only then Mr. Depp, can these “strange funny times” finally start to erode into the ash heap of history.  Votes aren’t going to do it.  Governments can’t do it - they make it worse.
