Back To School...Without Cell Phones! | |
| |
A week ago last Thursday, schools opened throughout Manatee County. So we see the familiar image of kids boarding yellow school buses with new backpacks and school outfits filing into pristine classrooms. But this year, two things will be noticeably absent: TikTok and cell phones. This is due to HB 379 ("Technology in K-12 Public Schools"), which in a rare political moment was unanimously approved by both houses of the Florida legislature and signed into law by Governor DeSantis on May 9 this year. This new law prohibits the wholesale use of cell phones during periods of instruction. Additionally the law requires public schools to provide instruction for students in grades 6-12 on the social, emotional, and physical effects of social media and expressly mentions the use of TikTok.
This new law is welcome news to educators and parents alike. But it is especially appealing to Manatee County taxpayers who are concerned with school performance and the return on their tax dollars. To read the full content of HB 379, simply click this link. | |

From Victims of Communism-Manatee Inc. Help Preserve Future Generations | |
| |
Last year, Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation establishing November 7 as “Victims of Communism Day”. The law states that on or about this day, Florida high school students enrolled in classes on US Government must receive at least 45 minutes of instruction on such topics as Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot and how victims suffered under these regimes.
However, we feel that only 45 minutes of instruction is inadequate to reveal the true depth of the evils of Communism to future generations of Floridians. In response, we have formed Victims of Communism-Manatee, Inc., a 501(c) (3) Not for Profit organization to enable high school students to learn firsthand about the horrors of Communism by hearing from people who have endured life under a Communist regime. To encourage students to participate, we have established a competitive Scholarship Program for students in Manatee County public, private and home schools. But we cannot do this without your help. We are asking for your tax-deductible donation to help fund our scholarship program. To learn more about this important program and to make an online donation, please click the button below. Your generous donation will go a long way toward preserving future generations of Floridians. | |
