Florida's largest teachers union sues state over reopening schools

"The state is grappling with a significant surge in coronavirus cases, reporting more than 10,000 new cases Monday alone."

"The Florida Education Association accused DeSantis and other state officials of violating a state constitutional mandate to keep public schools "safe and secure." The union asked a state court in Miami to halt the governor's reopening edict, according to a copy of the suit obtained by NBC News."

"The lawsuit, filed in state circuit court, names several defendants: DeSantis, state Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, the state Education Department and the State Board of Education. The legal filing is sure to escalate a nationwide political debate over reopening schools amid the pandemic."

*I was wondering when the teachers' unions were going to start protecting their members.

Unions represent the workers. Stronger unions make for a stronger working class, the true majority.
