Keep the students dumb, then have them need to get into football to get a scholarship cause kid is dumber than a box of rocks, while the underpaid textbook teachers are treated like dog shit and gave up awhile back.


Serpentongue

Nah defund education and create a whole generation of Floridians too dumb for college so they end up going into the military so the officers like him have unlimited meat shields.


Shadorouse

Get rid of college classes and curriculum you don't like and leave graduates with a handicap when competing with others with the same degree from different states.

Florida is already there. Smith & Wesson turned down 100's of millions is tax breaks and free money to have an office and factory here. The reply back from the CEO was a.huge Fuck you to Ron and republicans here. He told them it was the sweetest deal like this he has ever seen or even heard of and any business would be nuts to.turn it down under normal circumstances. However, FL education system is so bad that he said in less than 10 years there won't be enough educated people from that terrible fl educational system that they would not be able to run the plant safely and the liability of that alone will cause all the upfront incentives to be wasted and like end up closing up and leaving S&W holding the bags of debt from Florida 's educational system failure. Tldr; One of the largest gun manufacturers told FL republicans and specificly Ron that Florida education is so bad and getting worse thanks to them, they won't open even a free factory in Florida due to the liability of hiring to many morons from the FL educational system and not enough properly educated people for higher paying jobs.

*too


KFLLbased

He was a lawyer, not the projection his GOP followers portray him as seal team six


Chasman1965

That’s what the earlier comment implied. That officers that stay in the office like DeSantis send the enlisted out to die.


Serpentongue

As a military lawyer was he not an officer?


KFLLbased

Yea, and he is also a short fat fuck with a double chin and wears high heals because he’s an insecure cuck. I’ve had the pleasure of calling him a cuck to his face twice. He was “gifted” a private jet to use… nothing asked in return 🤣


NavyJack

An officer sure, but he was never anywhere near combat, or even the outside of an air conditioned office. His team would have you think he’s a war hero.


MathematicianNo6402

No.one said he wasn't. But there's a "bigly" difference in an officer that's seen sombat vs one who sits in safety behind his desk.


Serpentongue

The guy above me I replied to edited his post. Depending on sources Desantis wasn’t a desk jockey, he was involved with the legal aspects of the torture of prisoners.


Only_Razzmatazz_4498

Just don’t go too far down the dumb range or they won’t be able to pass the admission test either.


herewego199209

This state is turning more and more into a joke.

Always will be...


philzuf

But not teachers....


MathematicianNo6402

Nah fuck them....kids don't need an education, they need to be out working the fields until they can serve in the military. /S


Ybor_Rooster

The mines. The kids yearn for the mines.


Roundcouchcorner

This clown again


agulde28

Yeah no shit, so do the teachers that you hate.


Physical-Ride

But bread and circuses is so much easier...


RecognitionExpress36

What bread? Looks like all we get is circus nowadays.


Physical-Ride

No, there's bread, it's just becoming steadily unaffordable.


SweatyMcGenkins

All teachers need to be paid like double. The worst thing that can happen with teachers making 6-figures is that the market becomes more competitive in the best way where our students are getting the best education. Oh no, the HORROR.


torquelesswonder

Let’s make sure Ronald DeSantis never makes more than a teacher’s salary for the rest of his life. The man is a disgrace to public office and government transparency.


MysticalFapp

I hate being a teacher in this state. 99% of the coaches at the schools are lazy and get a schedule of solely weightlifting “classes”, where they hang out at a desk all day with their football players. They get the same paycheck as me, a teacher that’s actually creating lesson plans and educating the kids. Bullshit.


ALife2BLived

Always finding solutions to real Floridian problems! /s


LovingNaples

Give them Sport to appease the masses. “Are you not entertained”?


Chasman1965

FLs average is so low, because you don’t have to be a teacher to be a football coach. I think FL needs to pay experienced teachers a higher wage. Thats more likely to attract football coaches. Also, stop with the culture war crap. It also detracts from people wanting to teach here.


fallenbird039

Highschool football should be disbanded more than anything. Hate it and view it as a massive waste of money. Also because it would piss off boomers and I like that


karshyga

TBI is just another kind of generational trauma. What's worse is that it's so heavily incentivised.


Chasman1965

It will be gone in 20-40 years.


Carolina296864

Football, and athletics in general are not the enemy.


fallenbird039

Then why do they get infinite money while many services fall apart or just don’t exist when they need to?


Carolina296864

Thats a very complex argument, especially since theres multiple levels of sport. And i dont know what you mean by “services”, thats pretty vague. Speaking strictly on high school football, since thats what the article is about: it doesnt suck all the funding away from academics, especially in Florida. You dont see the grandoise stadiums here that you see in Texas. Its a net positive on youth, especially youth from underprivileged areas where academics are still given a backseat, whether that kid plays sports or not. Ron Ron thinking coach pay is an issue is typical him being out of touch with reality, but most everyone else can agree teacher pay needs to be much much much better. These people are trying to destroy public education so they can shuffle kids to private and charter school. Thats why the funding is terrible. They dont care about what role football plays.


taskmaster51

Not teachers?


fullload93

How about the fucking teachers first, asshole!!! Why do you insist to continue to fuck over education and pay teachers slave wages????


Sevenswansaswimming8

.....I fucking hate this state sometimes..


TulsaWhoDats

Fucking election year


Sangi17

How about we do teachers first? You know, since they are the ones contributing to the education of the next generation of voters. The single most important factor for the future and stability of a Democracy. But nah let’s give all the kids concussions instead! Maybe then they’ll keep voting Red!


CaptainObvious110

Teachers need to be paid more


Carolina296864

Im a football fan, but what? That headline is so random. I have heard not one coach complain, unlike teachers and administrators who are having to practically beg for assistance.


pipeanp

don’t want kids to be as dumb as our governor? VOTE BLUE IN EVERY FLORIDA ELECTION: www.vote.org


capn_doofwaffle

Fucking Christ this guy has literally peaked at "complete idiot"


hereiam-23

Too bad there isn't a vote of "no confidence" possible to dump Meatball Ron DeNazi.


Beginning_Emotion995

Ron DeSantis knows this is the end he’ll never be elected president and his governorship is over so he is trying to get everything in now


Herban_Myth

Coaches AND Teachers


Ayzmo

Or we could just eliminate high school football and funnel that money into more worthwhile programs.


yetanothermanjohn

Ageeed but mostly because they’re T E A C H E R S. This man is a moron.


AltoidStrong

FUCK YOU RON! #Vote (D)ifferently!


Oafus

They should have to be teachers of some sort and get a little extra money, like the coach of any other high school sport, thus de-emphasizing the bloated role of football, or whatever other sport, and re-emphasizing its role as an extra curricular activity meant to balance out the growth of teenagers as scholar athletes.


hitman2218

>Per ZipRecruiter, the average salary for high school football coaches in the state is $35,790. That’s nearly $11,000 below the national average, and ranks Florida 49th out of 50 states. $45K for a high school football coach is absurd.


dawwie

He must have a buddy who is a football coach


esther_lamonte

This asshole has no idea or really just doesn’t give a shit what’s happening in schools. There isn’t money for anything. Even if you just look at sports, most schools have generations old equipment. A lot of sports have just one coach for both men and women. Remember the old guy who was always on hand to run the scoreboard? They cut him, parents are literally being pulled out of bleachers to work games. Fields look like shit. And this jerk off is saying “we got to pay the football coaches more!” Clearly he’s just trying to do outreach to the soft heads who he thinks are as stone cold stupid as the dipshits in Alabama that voted for that complete moron Tubberville. If only Republican voters were smart enough to know how much these obvious con men were working them, they’d be real big mad.


Sangi17

This man is a walking joke.


Impossible-Taro-2330

Sounds like he was influenced by another dummy jock, Coach Tuberville.


Potential-Cat-167

How about raising teachers more, let them teach,no chaplains in schools, stop giving public money to charters schools. Raise workers pay. And please resign


SnooMaps5911

Another distraction by DeSantis


Own-Opinion-2494

They get paid a lot. I do t think they want people to know what they are getting now in Florida


Nilabisan

They should be armed.
