As if taking a cue from Hollywood’s cash-grabbing tendency to crank out a sequel, the Florida Legislature is back with not one, but two sequels: a follow up to HB 7, the Stop WOKE Act of 2022 and another try at union busting because as bad as last year’s SB 256 was, they learned it is really hard to silence the collective voice of over 150,000 teachers statewide. So, they’re gonna try again.
And we’re going to disappoint them. Again.
Recall that the Stop Woke Act (HB 7) is effectively blocked due to legal challenges and the appeals process. And while SB 256 was a full-scale attack on teacher unions, FEA (and thus UFF & FUSA) turned it into an organizing opportunity and also deployed eDues — an independent dues deduction system.
It appears the Florida Legislature hasn’t learned their lesson. They’d rather attack teachers and our constitutionally protected right to organize instead of focusing on the many real problems facing Floridians. Let’s throw rotten tomatoes at these bad sequels!
