During Covid the school unions tried to lock kids out of school.

Analysis Summary
Florida's teachers union filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging the constitutional basis for the state's universal voucher program, which currently serves about 521,000 students. The lawsuit argues the voucher system violates Florida's constitutional requirement for a uniform, efficient public school systemβa structural legal challenge, not an attempt to directly expel students from their current schools. DeSantis frames this as the union trying to "kick out" nearly 1 million students, but actual enrollment is 521,000, and critically, 69% of current voucher students were already in private school before receiving public funds. This conflates a constitutional challenge with a direct threat to student enrollment.
