We are a special district also which apparently gives us a tax break. It will be taken away if we disagree with current government.

I went to a Catholic high school in the 70' s and the teacher had a stack of National Geograhic magazines(most of them showed naked people in 3nd world countries) and we were told to read them in our religion class. There is an un called for teaching on both sides.

Well looky there only 300+ posts to steer this back to the original question ! Yes it was about special districts and if there could be an impact to TV. It was not about the new don't say --- (not allowed to say it) bill.

Let’s properly explain this.
“ At the bill signing ceremony, DeSantis said Disney lied about the content of the state’s new “Parental Rights in Education” law, and he viewed the company’s vow to fight it as unacceptable.

“You’re a corporation based in Burbank, California, and you’re gonna marshal your economic might to attack the parents of my state. We view that as a provocation, and we’re going to fight back against that,” DeSantis said.”

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.
Exactly!!! God, so selfish to take up a whole page. Is there a way to block certain people from popping up on our own screen...or even a button- like a thumbs down.

Under user settings you go to “edit ignore list”. About 3/4 down the page. Add in the user name. It normally pops up after you enter the first few characters.

And why was it shown? Because parents are finally seeing what is going on in their kid's schools. Those two years of Zoom schooling were a real eye-opener...
Wow....Twitter...yeah that's reliable...🤪

Please stop with the lies and all the bs...it's exhausting

Default Ugh!

Easy to see how divided we are even here at life’s last stop. Where’s the joy, respect, and trust? This thread, wow. The distance from echo chambers to reality is enormous. Read the bill. Refresh your knowledge of the Constitution (hint, no corporation bill of rights) and civilized discourse. Calling your neighbors racist because you’ve chosen to be ignorant of the subject or because your studied of it but unable to practically disagree with them makes a reader wonder if you hate them as much as yourself or more. Surely you know that such an accusation is a awful thing not to be taken lightly, is something you can’t possibly know, and tells everyone to ignore and avoid you. In the unlikely case you could successfully change a thoughtful mind with thoughtlessness, you could be inadvertently inviting others to use the accusation on you.

You can disagree all you want to, you just can't say it publicly.
