The new school year finds the Sunshine State scrambling to find teachers.

DeSantis thinks he has the solution: hiring military veterans.

“Florida wants you to teach in our classrooms!”

Many Floridians are retorting, “No, we don’t.”

Vets will be given a temporary certificate while studying for their undergraduate degree.

Naturally, the topic exploded on DeSantis’s Twitter feed.

One criticretorted, “We want qualified, certified, well educated teachers.

If a vet meets that basic criteria, then great.

But not until then.”

Teaching is not a ‘plug in and play’ profession."

How many teachers quit or left Florida?"

As a followernoted, “Why would anyone want to be forced to teach fake history?”
