As meeting with the heads of the new Legislative committees taking place this week in Tallahassee, Florida Democrats have released what they're calling a Pop Education Quiz — five questions for members of the Legislature on what they say has been the GOP's "failed policies." Policies that they say have prioritized tax giveaways to corporate special interests instead of funding the public schools and higher education.
In a press release, the Florida Democratic Party say that today, local students will deliver the quiz to both Republican and Democratic members of the Legislature who serve on Education committees.
The first question on the quiz:
1. How many consecutive years has the GOP cut funding for public schools?
a. 3.
b. 5.
c. 1.
