Well, I would agree with you.

I think Governor DeSantis has done an incredible job in the AG as well as our president.

But it does matter what happens at the local level.

We have a very liberal activist school board member who just spearheaded or headlined an anti-ICE rally last week.

And

Their goal of the progressives is to utilize this issue of enforcing lawful immigration, which is what this country voted overwhelmingly for, to use it to incite violence or also to incite the polarization.

And so what he did is headline this rally to question whether or not the processes that we have in place to oblige by the law and enforce the lawful orders of working with all law enforcement agencies to

fearmonger and create questions.

As such, as a responsibility, I think it's important that we send a very clear message to our community that we do follow the law, that we will work with all law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of our students, staff and campuses.

I think progressives look at this as an opportunity to really polarize and we have to stop them down their tracks because we don't need them.

We don't need them using that kind of incitement to empower the activists anywhere, whether it be any local government or inside schools.

Correct.

So I have put forward a resolution that cites that we reaffirm our commitment to working with all law enforcement agencies and that we will hold accountable school board members and any member of staff that seeks to impede or interfere with that action, which is the law.

I think it's a very easy common sense vote, should be a 5-0.

It is, again, we have a split board, even though we're overwhelmingly conservative county.

Trump won overwhelmingly.

But we have a 3-2 majority conservative vote.

and a very activist, progressive group, but then a very weak leadership when it comes to our Republican Party.

I will say that I'm very disappointed in our local chairman.

He has done nothing.
