If you remove the peaceful options, then all that leaves is violence

Don’t worry, we’ll just privatize their functions. It’ll be fine. /s

I have ublock origin, so I apologize if it's paywalled and I can't tell.

They're also having a huge shortage of teachers anyway, this is from 2022.. https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2022/08/22/now-that-florida-has-fixed-the-teacher-shortage-nurses-are-next-letters/

Ron DeSantis will solve by magically converting former military and police personnel into skilled teachers, which I believe will lead to more generations of ill-prepared high school graduates, easily manipulated and open to lies of future politicians.

Dictator much DeSantis?

In St. Johns County, on the Atlantic shore of Northeast Florida, more than 55% of public school teachers paid their union dues this last year. Despite that, nearly 3,500 teachers are facing the threat of having their union representation revoked. At the same time, in Southwest Florida, only 16% of law enforcement officers of the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office paid union dues last year. Their union is under absolutely no threat of being decertified.

A year after Governor DeSantis signed into law a sweeping anti-union bill requiring most public sector unions to boost the rate of members paying dues or be disbanded, the full effects of the new union rules are coming into clear view — double standards and all.

Law enforcement, firefighter and correctional officer unions are exempt from the new law, no matter how few members pay union dues.

More blatant fascism coming out of Florida.
