"Robert Cassanello, the president of the UFF and a professor at the UCF, called the decision 'another example of overreach' by Gov. Ron DeSantis because the FL Legislature considered but then rejected bills banning undocumented students this spring."

Public colleges tightened protest rules after the 2024 encampments. Now courts are weighing in. A judge halted FIU’s ban on indoor protests. Other challenges are coming in Texas and Indiana. The cases underscore the need to distinguish disruption from protected expression. chroni.cl/4gGfF40

FL's Constitution promises an education for all children.
On 6/30, the Board of Education could vote to restrict educational opportunities for students based on immigration status.
Tell the Board to vote NO and uphold our Constitution.

FL's kids deserve great public schools & working families deserve fair pay.
Instead, costs rise as politicians attack workers' rights & divert taxpayer $ from our classrooms.
It's time to put families first. That's why FEA endorses @davidjollyfl's campaign for Governor.

Today we recognize #Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom and a powerful reminder that it is worth fighting for. As we commemorate the true end of slavery in the U.S., we remember that while freedom was delayed for too many, justice must never be.
