This week, a principal at a Tallahassee charter school was forced to resign after a handful of parents complained that their sixth-grade children were shown a photograph of Michelangelo’s David—who is famously nude—without the parents being notified about the lesson beforehand.
Post that, Homophobic comments directed at Tom Edwards, a gay Florida School Board member, prompted him to walk out of public comment. Edwards left a Sarasota County School Board meeting when a woman suggested he posed a danger to students. Edwards voiced anger at the School Board Chair, Bridget Ziegler, for not shutting the comments down, especially two weeks after another commenter called Edwards an “LGBTQ groomer” at a separate meeting. The Zieglers have close ties to Gov. Ron DeSantis. Christian Ziegler also helped DeSantis craft a list of School Board incumbents for the state party to target in 2024, including Edwards. DeSantis administration has been trying to control and change the academic curriculum of schools and colleges across the state, making them less inclusive and anti-LGBTQ+.
