Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried had harsh words for Gov. Ron DeSantis as the Sunshine State's GOP leader wages culture wars issues inside public schools.
"In response to a Florida Department of Education memo that said school districts can ignore federal sex discrimination guidelines, Fried criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis and Education Commissioner Manny Diaz for encouraging schools districts to ignore federal anti-discrimination law and risk the loss of federal funds for free or reduced-price school meals," the Tallahassee Democrat reported Friday.
