One parent said the influx of permission slips is getting “out of control” and “burdensome.”
This is fucking insane:
“I had to sign a permission slip for my child who could drive himself to see it in a movie theater,” Judi Hayes told the outlet.
Parents like Hayes said they must sign a new permission slip for after-school programs and events almost every week.
“It seems like it’s just it’s out of control. It’s every single activity. And it’s burdensome on the staff because they have to chase down permission slips. The club’s sponsors are getting frustrated and giving up because it’s too much work,” Hayes said.
Hayes added that she even had to sign a form so her child could receive pre-calculus tutoring with their teacher after school. The teacher referenced the Parental Rights in Education law in notes to parents explaining why they were being asked to sign a permission slip.
Just apart from this being a completely irrational way to go about things, can you imagine how much time this takes up for everyone involved?

Specifically, the point is to create so much dysfunction in the public school system that it eventually collapses. Then, they can instead fund Christian Madrasas instead.
Of course, if an actual madrassa opened up in Florida, De Santis and his people would be screaming about terrorists training children.
I wonder how they would be able to shut it down while maintaining their own brainwashing centers?
And I wonder what they’ll think of yeshivas. Lots of Jews in Florida.
“See how inefficient the government is? Education needs to be run by private companies.”
Think of it in terms of staff salaries versus the taxes used to pay them. If you can get people to consider that, they’ll suddenly want to be the party of small government again.
As a kid that grew up with parents that were prudish… It will fuck your life up. Completely. Entirely.
It’s interesting. My mother-in-law isn’t what I’d call prudish, but she definitely restricted what her children could watch in terms of things like R-rated movies.
My father, on the other hand, was a film historian who, despite that, didn’t really understand what movies were and were not appropriate for kids, which is why I saw Aliens in the theater when I was 9 years old.
We spent a long time butting heads over how far I wanted to go with my own daughter in terms of age appropriateness vs. how far she wanted to go. I eventually won that battle when my daughter turned 12 and my wife realized that there was no way to hide the world of R-rated things from a 12-year-old with YouTube anyway.
And that’s why my daughter’s favorite movie is now Forbidden Zone.
Haha, haven’t met many that know that movie.
She loves cult movies and so do I, so we watch a lot of them together.
I love the class room scene.
Eh, part of the rating system is to prevent you from fucking up someone else’s kid, and part of it is knowing your own child.
You’re not allowed to sell an R movie to a 10 year old, for instance. But their parent can come in and buy it for them no problem.
And honestly, just because a movie is rated R, doesn’t mean your 10 year old can’t handle it. You likely know your kid best. But you also know that while they can handle Aliens, they shouldn’t watch Zach and Miri Make a Porno for obvious reasons.
It’s a balancing act that only works if the parent is paying attention though.
I still feel bad for the 1 kid in jr high whose parents refused to let him do the sex ed section. 13yos are assholes enough, they didn’t really need something else to use to make fun of him for.
Yep. I loved going to the library while my classmates got to watch a movie
Tangled? Or being with prudes? Jk
Well these days it’s probably either or…
yes. forever
Yup

Not all of us here voted for these people, Florida’s voters are at least 40% democrats gauging from the last election, that’s hopefully grown since all of DeSantis’s bullshit, I guess we’ll see in November.
Rooting for ya, bud.
Thanks my dude.
I’m still not convinced that it’s enough to override identity politics of small people who want to feel bigger than they are.

“Your dream stinks. I was talking to her.”
The reprise of “Mother Knows Best” always gives me chills
Why not a permission slip in the beginning of the year with checkboxes for everything that might need a permission slip. Is there a requirement for them to be specific?
The requirement stems from knowing that if you aren’t explicit and specific, regressives will try to ruin your life directly and via stochastic terrorism.
But also even if you are explicit and specific, regressives will try to ruin your life directly and via stochastic terrorism.
Facts. But it explains why they’re trying. It’s really hard for most people to accept and act on the knowledge that these people operate in bad faith and are just trying to make everyone miserable enough to give up.
The only way to win is to 1) not play their game and 2) to get a critical mass of people around you to follow you instead of them. It’s like dealing with a narcissist, except there are millions of them bolstering each other and gaslighting the rest of us.
“Yes I checked the ‘movies rated from G to T’ box, but they played Strange World, and that has the gay disease in it!” /s
People are idiots, and it’s Florida. Florida has proven itself insane, so this is why they get.
You are really overestimating how far ahead these things are planned out. It would be a horrible nightmare to coordinate all of it months and months in advance.
It’s 2024. We dont need to bring ink and paper into this. Publish your syllabus online at the beginning of the year, provide a list of everything that needs parental permission for viewing, let me check them check boxes.
You have love how everyone is behind this until it becomes slightly inconvenient for them.
The way parents can stop this is by asking the school whether they had a license from Disney to show the movie.
The permission slips are just proof they showed the movie to a large group of people (most likely without a license, because what school has a budget for that?)
This isn’t actually public exhibition because members of the public in general cannot attend. This is an educational purposes deal and is perfectly fine.
We’re actually discussing educational purposes and fair use in this thread:

So far, the consensus is “probably”

I’m not in Florida, but can they sign a permission slip that just includes everything.
“I, _________, do give my child permission to sign their own permission slips.”
Probably not. The whole point is to bog down the education system.
My kids school just has us sign a media permission slip once a year. Works great.
I don’t think that would cover the modern rage about anything parent
Eh, I’m in Florida and so far it hasn’t been an issue at my school. From what I’m seeing most of the outrage is bad faith anyway.
