@SenMannyDiazJr @EducationFL 9. So no, teachers cannot exercise "common sense." They are not permitted to independently approve books by classroom libraries. Under guidance produced by @EducationFL such books must be approved by a librarian only. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@SenMannyDiazJr 8. This directly contradicts the training produced by @SenMannyDiazJr's own agency, the @EducationFL. That training states that all library books must be selected by a CERTIFIED MEDIA SPECIALIST (librarian) NOT TEACHERS And states that classroom libraries are a type of library https://t.co/BfS2amEHx3 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@SenMannyDiazJr 7. Instead of making their libraries inaccessible, Diaz suggests that teachers can continue to curate their own libraries and simply rely on "common sense." Only books that teachers believe are in a "gray area," according to Diaz, need to be removed. https://t.co/PhY4Cw0msS — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. In the interview with the National Review, @SenMannyDiazJr GROSSLY MISREPRESENTS his own agency's guidance to teachers. He says that teachers who made their libraries inaccessible were engaged in a political "stunt" intended to politically damage DeSantis. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. In an interview with the National Review, Diaz stressed that other violations of the classroom library regulations "would be addressed through an administrative process." THAT ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS CAN RESULT IN TEACHERS LOSING THEIR JOBS https://t.co/5D2n7NNLOt — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. Diaz glibly dismisses these concerns, stating teachers will only face a felony charge if they distribute pornography. What he fails to mention is the right-wing activists he's aligned with have redefined pornography to include Pulitzer Prize-winning novels by Toni Morrison https://t.co/EEBUFPO0Pe — PolitiTweet.org

3. Kevin Chapman, the Chief of Staff for Manatee County Schools, told us principals were advised that teachers that fail to comply with the rules regarding classroom libraries could face stiff penalties, including third-degree felony charges. https://t.co/5D2n7NNLOt — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@SenMannyDiazJr 2. We reported that teachers in Manatee County, Florida are being told to make their classroom libraries inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution. First, here is the memo telling teachers to "remove or cover all classroom libraries" https://t.co/Micf8KcV9u — PolitiTweet.org

1. Last week, we exposed the consequences of laws and regs imposed on Florida teachers by DeSantis. Now our reporting is under attack by the Florida Commissioner of Education @SenMannyDiazJr Diaz calls it "fake news" and "lazy." Diaz is wrong. We have receipts. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
I guess it’s easy to put out whatever when you hide it behind a paywall. I’ll expose all the lies — which originate with the DeSantis administration — in the AM. For free. https://t.co/TfpCItetHW — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
It’s amazing how people are willing to lecture others on accuracy when they have no understanding of the law, the regulations produced by the state, or what teachers are actually being told. Anything to defend DeSantis. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
This reporting, which is behind a paywall, is completely inaccurate. It also includes the Commissioner of Education directly contradicting HIS OWN AGENCY’S GUIDANCE on classroom libraries. — PolitiTweet.org

3. The "Community Note" was false and my reporting was accurate. That's been true since January 23. But here we are a week later, and the @washingtonpost has picked up our story. And they've confirmed all of Popular Information's reporting. https://t.co/s0oYA5U6og https://t.co/YYmbU3x8tp — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. As the piece circulated widely, Twitter appended a "Community Note" suggesting my thread was "misleading." Musk is a supporter of DeSantis and has pledged to use community notes to combat the "left wing editorial control problem" https://t.co/RarnDExwF0 https://t.co/QKJzKNuQaA — PolitiTweet.org

11. Most victims never report wage theft, let alone sue. The few that do submit a claim have to wait months, or even years, for their case to be decided. A new CBS News Investigation found employers often continue to stiff workers who do win their cases. https://t.co/oWbDAYafAe — PolitiTweet.org

11. The amount of money stolen from workers by their employers exceeds the value of stolen goods in all property crimes combined, according to the latest FBI statistics. https://t.co/vUh6vt8pBl — PolitiTweet.org

10. Unfortunately, the experience of Kroger workers is not atypical. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that more than $50 billion in wages are stolen from workers per year. https://t.co/gPo7sNIOeo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
9. One worker told https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ that they were evicted after not receiving a paycheck for several weeks. Another employee shared that they are loaning out some of their own money to help new hires who are missing paychecks https://t.co/E15blORnH5 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. @Kroger workers are already a low-wage and vulnerable population. A 2022 study found that about 75% of surveyed Kroger workers across three regions said they were food insecure, and about 14% were homeless or had been homeless in the previous year. https://t.co/5vBeLLYJ6h — PolitiTweet.org

7. The problems at Kroger extend far beyond Virginia and West Virginia. Lawsuits have also been filed in Washington State, Oregon, and Ohio. https://t.co/E15blORnH5 — PolitiTweet.org

6. The @UFCW400 claims it has received more than 1,000 reports from members who say they are having issues with MyTime. “This is wage theft, plain and simple,” UFCW Local 400 President Mark Federici said. https://t.co/E15blORnH5 — PolitiTweet.org

5. On January 19, a group of Kroger associates from Virginia and West Virginia filed a lawsuit against the grocery store, alleging that “their employer has engaged in a widespread wage theft resulting from repeated and ongoing problems with payroll.” — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. Multiple Kroger associates told Popular Information that they’ve missed rent payments and bills, overdrawn their bank accounts, or been forced to take out loans due to missing or reduced pay. https://t.co/E15blORnH5 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. Glitches with MyTime have resulted in a host of problems, including missing pay and incomplete checks. The fallout has been especially brutal for workers who live paycheck to paycheck. “I’m tired of having to beg for pay that’s due to me,” one Kroger worker told us. — PolitiTweet.org
