Heyyyyyo check it out! I just did a thing!I posted this video on Instagram and TikTok just a couple hours ago. If you dig it, please share it with folks who might dig it and share it themselves!News just broke that Gov. Ron DeSantis has demanded the names of staff and programs linked to diversity at Florida state universities and colleges. He also claims Florida is the freest state in the nation. But making lists like this doesn’t look like “freedom.” It looks like fascism. And Florida educators are fighting back.Shit doesn’t usually go viral on accident these days — we have to do it on purpose. So if this video is something you find value in, please take a moment to share it. Let’s help build the culture of the movement around the Teachers Unions with music, humor, and solidarity. Let’s laugh at these fascists in public! Tag a friend in the comments or send the link to people who might value it! Share it with hashtags like #Solidarity, #UnionPower and #SayGay! I’ll be posting on YouTube and Facebook soon — stay tuned!Thank you for following and for being my #StreetTeam (in the avenues of the interwebs) in moments like this! #WeAintShitWithoutYou!

LYRICS:
Ron DeSantis is Coming to School
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout, I’m telling you why —
Ron DeSantis is coming to school
He’s making a list and checking it twice
He’s gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Ron DeSantis is coming to school
He wants to hear our lectures, check out our syllabi
He claims that in the classroom free speech does not apply
He says we better watch out, and zip up our lips
Cause he’s got the clout (until the state flips)
Ron DeSantis is coming to school
He’s mocking gender studies, and banning CRT
He thinks his narrow views ought to be state policy
So we’re gonna watch out, and I’ve got your back
Cause you’ve got mine against the attack
When Ron DeSantis comes to our school.
He says we’re indoctrinators, anti-man and anti-white
But we are educators — we pursue what’s true and right and just
So Ron better watch out, his plan’s gonna fail
The union is here and when we prevail
Ron DeSantis is gonna get schooled!
