Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is back to doing what he does best and punishing people in
the state for criticizing him even the most mild forms of criticism. His latest target
is a man by the name of Rocky Hannah. Now, Mr. Hannah happens to be the superintendent
for schools for Leon County. And what Mr. Hannah did apparently is an unforgivable act
according to the group Moms for Liberty, which of course is the group that filed the letter
to Rhon DeSantis saying, you gotta come fire this guy cuz he doesn't like you. But according
to reports, this is so dumb, Mr. Hannah, his big crime, his biggest crime,
Was asking Ron DeSantis to rethink his ascension and basically banning of mask mandates in
the state of Florida, while Covid was still killing hundreds of people a day in this state
alone. Like that was his big crime. Like, Hey, I have to take care of these schools.
All of these children at all of the schools in my district are under my care. The teachers
are, the administrators are. Could you maybe rethink the mask thing? Like maybe rethink
it? That apparently is enough to be like, oh hell no. You gotta go, man. He also, as
moms for Liberty, pointed out when the don't say gay legislation was passed, he allegedly
told his teachers in his district, like you do, you do not worry about anything you do,
you is what he told them. Now that's what they say you do. You.
So, Manny Diaz, leader of the Department of Education here in the state of Florida sends
a letter to Mr. Hannah, uh, that says, uh, letter claims the DOE has probable cause to
quote, justify sanctions against your Florida, uh, Florida educator certificate. The d OE
claims it has been investigating of Hannah's personal views have had an impact on how he
runs the district. So it didn't say they've determined that his personal political views
impacted how he runs the district. They just said, Hey, we looked at it. Now we're gonna
rethink your Florida educator's certificate because you don't go along with Rhon DeSantis.
Now, as I mentioned, it was the group Moms for Liberty that filed the complaint directly
to Rhon DeSantis. Let me read this. Uh, this is from Raw Story. Brandy Andrews, the vice
chair of the local Leon County Extremist Group. Moms for Liberty wrote DeSantis to ask him
to fire Hannah.
The Associated Press reports, we are fighting tirelessly with our local school board to
no avail. Andrews wrote, citing Hannah's mask mandate, his opposition to the state's new
education laws and directives, and his public criticism of the governor. She noted that
she had appeared in a DeSantis reelection TV commercial. Her letter was stamped. Let's
go Brandon. A code used by some conservatives to replace a vulgar chant made against President
Joe Biden. So this, this individual here, Brandy Andrews, right? Wasn't that her name?
Just make sure Brandy Andrews. Yeah. With Moms For Liberty, writes this letter, says,
fire this guy. Please don't forget, as I just read, I I was in a reelect DeSantis campaign
ad. Let's go Brandon. Like this is McCarthyism folks. McCarthyism has now come to Florida.
You cannot criticize Ron DeSantis lest you have one of these hardcore brain dead Republican
morons coming at you to take your whole livelihood away. This is utter insanity. And the, the,
the biggest in insane part of it is that the state is doing it. They looked at this letter
from Miss Brandy Andrews and said, you know what? You're right. Let's make this man's
life a living hell. Just like we did that prosecutor from South Florida who's now suing
us just like we tried to do to Disney, who's now suing us. Yeah, why not do it again? Because
the other two worked out so frigging well for ya.
If Mr. Hannah ends up suing the state for, uh, wrongful termination or stripping him
of his license or, you know, political abuse of power, I hope he throws, uh, uh, Ms. Andrews
in that lawsuit as well, because she is the one who instigated this because she had a
political ax to grind. Like, that's the bottom line. So there could be lots of lawsuits that
come out of this, but between now and then, the damage is gonna be done. We live in an
author authoritarian state down here in Florida. It's terrifying. It is beyond terrifying for
those of us who live here. This is the hell that we have to endure every single day. And
these republicans, these little wannabe gustapo police like Ms. Andrews here, they wanna make
our lives hell rather than having real political discussions with us because they're incapable
of that. No, no, no. God forbid they talk about anything intelligibly. No. They just
want us to suffer because they're miserable in their own lives and want everybody to be
miserable as well. I don't know what it is, but it's disturbing. It's disgusting, and
it is absolutely un-American.
