Gaetz on supportive of education, don't make me laugh. Republicans in general, particularly in the Florida Legislature have been horrible when in comes to public services in general, including education. The Republicans function is to simply destroy public resources, and find a way to profit from it, but privatizing it. Can we say Charter Schools? The Republicans way of privatizing education and raking in the big bucks. Many of them sit on the Florida House and FL Senate Education Committees as Land Use Consultants and members of the board of local charter schools and allocate resources needed for public schools which are barely resourced to their charter schools.
