Students at two Duval County schools failed to provide principals with notice or get approval from the superintendent, both of which are required for students to protest on a school campus.
– High school and college students across Florida walked out of their classrooms on Friday to protest the state’s rapidly changing education policies.
Organizers told News4JAX they’re also encouraging their classmates to become more engaged and take action. “Students have to take it into their own hands to learn outside of the classrooms, which is exactly what we’ve done today,” Driggers said. “Students are not only showing up, but they’re actually accomplishing tangible steps to make their voice heard and make sure action is taken.”“Students are terrified and our administrations are terrifying them. And that’s disgusting. And it’s the fault of Florida’s government and our board of education,” Moricz said.
“Gender ideology has no place in our K through 12 school system,“ DeSantis said. “It’s wrong for a teacher to tell a student that they may have been born in the wrong body or that their gender is a choice and so we don’t let that happen in Florida.”

Officials Sink Large Ship Off Florida Coast to Create Artificial ReefOfficials in Destin, Florida, sunk a large ship on Tuesday, April 18, in order to create an artificial reef.According to an announcement from the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners, “Marine life seeks out structures to live and thrive. These artificial structures provide that habitat for these creatures. It provides marine life with a robust ecosystem that was previously lacking off the shores of our beaches in the Gulf of Mexico.”The footage by the board shows the RMS Cyclops being sunk into the Gulf of Mexico. The vessel is now 72 feet deep, and four nautical miles offshore, county officials said.The ship was one of dozens of structures the county has deployed in recent decades – including concrete piles, specifically designed modules, and other shipwrecks – to aid in the development of reefs in the area, according to Destin-Fort Walton Beach Tourism.
