Moms for Liberty goes down

In this episode: Just two years after they seemed to be in their ascendancy, School Board candidates backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the conservative censorship group Moms for Liberty suffered big losses in local elections across the state. Longtime Orlando Sentinel education reporter Leslie Postal joins the show to talk about what just happened in Florida.

Show notes

Both Politico Florida and the Associated Press have good roundups of the statewide results in School Board elections.

Here are some of the stories we alluded to during the show:

• Tolstoy, Sendak picture book among hundreds banned from Florida schools

• Textbook authors told climate change references must be cut to get Florida’s OK

• Only one reviewer complained of ‘critical race theory’ in Florida math textbooks

• Schools Without Rules: An Orlando Sentinel Investigation

• An inside look at the private interests shaping public education in Florida
