Shakespeare deemed too raunchy for Florida Schools.  Just wait until someone from the Start Board of Ed gets around to reading the Bible

Hillsborough County in Florida has informed educators they are only allowed to teach specific excerpts of William Shakespeare’s works due to new state laws restricting certain discussions in class.

The county school district said certain parts of Shakespeare can not be taught because of the Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law by opponents, which restricts classroom discussions that are sexual in nature, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

The old adage “Its the cover up, not the crime” doesn’t apply to Trump because he is careful to only do his crimes out in the open.  

Subject: Let’s Conspire to Do All These Crimes

A lawyer allied with President Donald J. Trump first laid out a plot to use false slates of electors to subvert the 2020 election in a previously unknown internal campaign memo that prosecutors are portraying as a crucial link in how the Trump team’s efforts evolved into a criminal conspiracy.

The existence of the Dec. 6, 2020, memo came to light in last week’s indictment of Mr. Trump, though its details remained unclear. But a copy obtained by The New York Times shows for the first time that the lawyer, Kenneth Chesebro, acknowledged from the start that he was proposing “a bold, controversial strategy” that the Supreme Court “likely” would reject in the end.

Ohio Voters Bat Down Assault On Democracy, Abortion Rights In Special Election

Ohioans handily rejected Republican lawmakers’ attempt to make it much more difficult for citizens to amend the state constitution Tuesday, an effort that was aimed squarely at undermining an upcoming proposal to codify abortion protections.

The Associated Press called the race at 9:00 p.m. ET, an hour and a half after polls closed in Ohio.

With Tuesday’s vote, state Republicans were trying to raise the threshold for passage of citizen-initiated ballot proposals to 60 percent from its current simple majority. Proposals originating in the heavily Republican legislature, however, would have continued to operate on the lower threshold. Tuesday’s initiative, known as Issue 1, also would have doubled the number of counties from which signatures must be collected (expanding the requirement to every county in the state) and nixed a 10-day grace period.
