Do you remember the Florida Citizens Alliance? I sure do. They’ve been gnashing their teeth over a wide array of materials they find offensive in a variety of textbooks, including the teaching of evolution as “true” without a religious counterargument. They were behind the filing of Instructional Materials bills in the Florida Legislature during the 2016 session that would have addressed their grievances. We were against their bills then (see our old press release and series of posts). And now the Alliance is looking for allies among the 2017 crop of lawmakers to give it another go.
FLCA leadership and local grassroots teams are actively reaching out to all FL Legislators to successfully pass this bill this 2017 cycle. We need you to respectively remind each of them that 2.7 million Florida students, our children and grandchildren, need their aggressive leadership to save their future as productive citizens of our great state.
Their attempt last year was a dismal failure. The bills were filed but went absolutely nowhere. That doesn’t mean there will be a repeat in the 2017 session. There are new faces. And keep in mind that the country overall is apparently heading in a new direction via the presidential election. We need to be vigilant and prepared.
