Florida teacher James Ring received a prestigious award, followed by a letter of congratulations from Senator Rick Scott. Senator Scott not only praised Ring but praised himself for supporting the schools while he was Governor.
In his brilliant reply, Ring reminded Scott of his budget cuts to the schools and his support for charters and vouchers. In other words, “Liar, liar, pants on fire!”

Good for her. More people have to do this when some politician is looking for a photo-op.
Florida politics are a breeding ground for hypocrites. Political types have learned that many Floridians are easily fooled, manipulated and misled. Like sleazy Scott right wing politicians continue to claim they have the interests of the people at heart. They are betting the public is too dumb or lazy to uncover their misdeeds and lies. Florida needs more discerning voters like Mr. Ring.
We hear in Flor-uh-duh prides ourselfs on having the vilest, most mean-spirited, dumbest politicians in the country. I meen, think about it. Were home to Glorious Leader Who Shines More Orange than Does the Sun and to Critical Race Theorist and Party Guy Matt Gaetz, not to overlook, ofc, Trump Mini Me Ronnie DeSatan!
And ones so crooked they could hide behind, say, Ronnie Reagan’s or Bushie Jr’s syntax.
i doubt tricky Rick will show up at the Texas border. DeSantis is sending about fifty members of Florida law enforcement to the Texas border for an anticipated photo op with with the delusional orange menace, more red meat for the base.
DeSatan is running hard for 2024 on the Dumb as Trump platform!
Bravo, Mr. Ring!!! AWESOME!!!
Sharing this.
Rick Scott, poster boy for GOP hypocrisy, mendacity, free (to loot and pillage) market fundamentalism and willful ignorance. He’s a more svelte version of Chris Christie, the anti-public school toxic waste dump.

“GOP’s CRT astroturfing is the New Tea Party”
(MSNBC, Hayes Brown, 6-28-2021)
Research showed, “racial resentment is indeed among the strongest predictors of Tea Party membership”..Steve Bannon described the current school board fights over CRT as the Tea Party to the 10th power.
No question remains about the goal of school privatization, rather its allies are opportunists or bigots, the outcome is the same.
James Ring’s letter proves one point, that Traitor Trump isn’t the only misleading lair and fraud that’s labeled a Republican.
In this era, few if any Republicans can be trusted, voters and elected officals.
In his letter to Mr. Ring, Senator Scott got one thing right. He did in fact always try to reduce the cost of education. That is true. Not something to brag about, but true. It’s like bragging he always tried to keep Santa Claus from coming to town because giving presents to the whole nice list is socialist. Pretty naughty. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mr. Ring’s sharp response in the Palm Beach Post.
