Florida's public education wins in 2024 election with the defeat of ballot amendment | Opinion

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : The amendment's failure is a victory for public education and a defeat for those who want to insert partisan politics into decisions that affect Florida students.
44% : While many women in Florida will suffer because of the lack of reproductive rights -- the state's six-week abortion ban will remain in place -- our students and parents are protected, as least for now, from more political interference in public schools.
37% : And yet, the defeat of recreational marijuana will be less consequential than the failure to protect abortion rights and to turn school board elections into partisan showdowns.
35% : DeSantis was mostly focused on defeating Amendment 3 to legalize recreational marijuana for adults and Amendment 4 to protect abortion rights.
