Read previewA Florida school board member accused of hypocrisy is holding her ground despite calls for resignation, and local residents are none too pleased. Bridget Ziegler, wife to former Florida GOP chairman Christian Ziegler, sits on the Sarasota County School Board. (Leaders within the group have told Business Insider they oppose "all sexual orientations when discussing sexually explicit and graphic books," including heterosexual ones.) Christian Ziegler was then ousted from his high-level position within the state GOP after the other woman accused him of rape. One student in the district told board members that students and teachers are equipped to "handle" conversations about gender and race.

An ex-Florida lawmaker told WaPo that many in Tallahassee are "terrified" of DeSantis and his team. "There's no inner circle because they just chop off heads and move on," the former lawmaker said. This year, boosted by a GOP supermajority, DeSantis ramped up his conservative policymaking agenda. DeSantis has earned the endorsements of 100 of the 113 Republican state lawmakers in Florida, with 12 remaining neutral and only one backing former President Donald Trump. A former Republican state lawmaker told The Post that people are "terrified" of DeSantis and his political operation.
