Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

There is a bill in Florida right now moving, so I think more of the magic happens at the state level.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

And the bill in Florida is actually up โ€“ they might have just had a vote at their final committee stop in the House, but it's House Bill 995.

Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

There's a Senate companion version I want to say is Senate Bill 1296.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

But it's definitely House Bill 995, and it does two simple things.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

One is if you want to recertify your union each year, you have to have at least 50% of your members vote to recertify the union.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

Okay, you have to have a majority vote.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

And the thing is a lot of the union members don't vote to recertify the union, and so that would kind of โ€“

put a stake in the heart of some of the teachers unions in florida and the second piece is that it would prohibit taxpayer funding of union activities like campaigning going and lobbying on certain things and engaging in political activity which why why in the world are taxpayers funding that directly anyway

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

If you want to go do that as a teacher voluntarily when you're not supposed to be teaching, fine.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

But why should taxpayers have to support this additional kind of advocacy that goes contrary to what the parents want?

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

I mean, you're basically forced to pay the political activity of people who hate you, or at least causes that go against everything that you stand for.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

So I think the...

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

That's probably going to pass in Florida.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

And that's why the unions are freaking out right now after that press conference, because they went viral for saying that the anti-ice protests are required.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

Yeah, I think the teachers unions are doing a bad job of representing their everyday members.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

So I mentioned earlier, 99% of their money goes to Democrats, but not 99% of teachers are Democrats.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

I saw a poll recently from Education Week that showed that about a third of teachers were conservative, or a quarter of them were conservative.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

A little more than that were Democrats.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
Episode 3103 - The Scott Adams School 02/26/26

And then the rest were independents.

And, you know, most of them voted for Hillary Clinton in that survey.
