Podcast appearances and mentions of bridget ziegler

Seventy-nine Sarasota truckers voted this weekend whether to join the Teamsters union. We have the details. Then: The crowd was big, the tone was raucous, and the battle cry was "Home Rule!". Gretchen Cochran reports from Anna Maria Island. Then: A developer will be allowed to tear down a historic building in downtown Sarasota - if the city doesn't manage to move it. This story is from Ramon Lopez. Next: Just weeks after the three-way scandal, Bridget Ziegler flexed her political muscle again on the school board yesterday. Finally: The vice mayor of Sarasota made a last-gasp effort to stop a major zoning amendment that changes what can be built along major thoroughfares in the city. Ramon Lopez reports.

In a narrow 3-2 vote, the Sarasota City Commission passed a change to its comprehensive plan that incentivizes construction of workforce apartments along major thoroughfares. The dissenters argue we're giving too much to commercial developers, for too little affordable housing. Ramon Lopez reports. Then: The Florida Supreme Court issued not one, but two rulings about abortion on Monday. We interviewed the CEO of Planned Parenthood Southwest Florida.  Next: Sarasota city commissioners discussed - again - a developer's request to tear down a historical building in downtown, as Ramon Lopez reports. Finally: The Sarasota School Board had a 20-minute session yesterday. But that was preceded by three hours of public comment, plus a protest beforehand. This time, this was in part a response to Bridget Ziegler's suggestion to check the immigration status of students and their families.

Ryan, Dana, and NewsRadio WFLA Anchor Chris Trenkmann discuss the first DeSantis-chartered flight from Haiti carrying Americans that landed in Florida, DeSantis threatening to send Haitian migrants fleeing violence to Martha's Vineyard, and Christian and Bridget Ziegler suing to block the release of records discovered during the rape investigation. Plus, a recap of the Biden impeachment inquiry hearing, analysis of the bill signed by DeSantis banning homeless people from sleeping on public property, more trouble for Boeing, and President Biden's March Madness bracket.

Ambitious plans that could result in hundreds of new public housing apartments were before the City of Sarasota Planning Board last week. But it turned out that the one commission member who is from the neighborhood where the new construction could happen is opposed. Ramon Lopez reports. THEN: The City of Sarasota Commission voted to expand a short-term rental ordinance from the barrier islands to take it city-wide. Community members and commissioners actually hope the new regulation will slow the takeover of neighborhoods by vacation rentals.  NEXT: After Governor DeSantis suspended his presidential campaign, some lawmakers expected a change in priorities during the legislative session. However, two Democrats in the House say nothing is new. Chris Young with partner station WMNF talked to them. THEN: Today, the Florida Supreme Court heard arguments on whether or not an abortion amendment will be on the November ballot. Chris Young with partner station WMNF has more on that. FINALLY: It was another four-hour Sarasota School board meeting, including three hours of public comment, mostly asking Bridget Ziegler to resign. We followed the drama.

Bridget Ziegler's tenure was not on the agenda of the school board yesterday evening, but the conservative activist certainly was on the mind of the public. At last night's meeting, she had to endure four hours of public comment, mostly asking her to resign. Florence Fahringer followed the proceedings — and put her finger on something that was NOT on the agenda. Then: The Florida Legislature is into the second week of its 60-day session. The biggest teachers' union in Florida is backing a bill that would fund all-day pre-K daycare in low-income areas. The FEA also opposes a bill that would weaken child labor protections. We play excerpts from an interview by partner station WMNF with FEA President Andrew Spar. Next: Volunteers will head out across Sarasota and Manatee counties in late January to count the area's homeless. Catherine Hicks with the Community News Collaborative reports. Then: Martin Luther King Day celebrations staged a big post-pandemic comeback in Sarasota on Monday. This, despite climate challenges - both political and weather-wise. Finally: The "Through Women's Eyes" film festival is shaping up for its 25th return this March in Sarasota, and we get a preview, thanks to the Peace & Justice Report's interview with festival organizer E. Scott Osborne.

Bridget Ziegler is embroiled in a sex scandal that exposes the hypocrisy of the “don't say gay” extremist education movement she co-founded: she was caught on tape having sex with another woman during a threesome encounter with her husband.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit betterhelp.com/DUBIOUS today to get 10% off your first month of therapy. If you like our content, please become a patron to get all our episodes ad-free. Moms for Liberty is a Florida-based organization, with more than 300 chapters in 48 states. It claims to advocate for “parental rights at all levels of government.” 1 In reality, they push for banning children's books and literature, fight against diversity, inclusivity, LGBTQ children, and rail against sex education and the teaching of Black history. The Moms for Liberty cult-like following believes there's a widespread conspiracy in American schools to expose children to “woke “concepts about sexual orientation and gender identity that don't conform to their idea of traditional family values. Of course, they joined the Ron DeSantis' “Don't say gay” campaign. 2 But as it turned out, Moms for Liberty is right-wing education movement with a huge hypocrisy problem. Co-founder Bridget Ziegler, who's also a member of the Sarasota County School Board in Florida, and her husband Christian Ziegler have been caught in a sex scandal that threatens to end the organization. Moreover, Christian Ziegler who is also the chair of the Republican Party of Florida and a big Trump fan, was accused of rape. 3 1.

Is Trump taking a page from the Hitlarian playbook? Between his recent vermin comments and his speech this weekend where he said “immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country,” the language he's using evokes a frightening time in world history. Why is it not giving more people pause? Oh the hypocrisy! A Florida couple, well known in ultra conservative circles, finds themselves in some trouble. Bridget Ziegler, one of the Mom's for Liberty founders- a group known for banning books and for its disdain for the LGTBQ community, admitted to police that she had a three-way sexual encounter with her husband and another woman in the past. The other woman claims the husband, Christian Ziegler who is the head of Florida State Republican Party, sexually assaulted her when his wife missed their latest rendezvous. Police are conducting a criminal investigation. It is going to be a rainy week around the Bay Area.

Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco deep dive into Moms for Liberty — in light of Proud Boy Christian Ziegler being accused of sexual assault by someone with whom he and his wife and Moms for Liberty founder Bridget Ziegler allegedly had WWM threesomes (DRAMA!) — and cover a smattering of other stories (abortion in Texas, a roast of Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a toast to Sandra Day O'Connor, etc.) in news. Then, they interview Jamie Manson of Catholics for Choice about the intersection of reproductive justice and the Catholic church.

Part 1:We talk with Natasha Sunderland of Florida Watch about the scandal around Christian and Bridget Ziegler's problems with their sex lives. The rape allegation and admitted bisexual relationship is particularly ironic given that these two individuals are co-founders of 'moms for liberty'. and Christian is chair of the Florida Republican party.Part 2:We talk with Lindsay Koshgarian, who reports on the Pentagon.We talk about the Pentagon, and its lax tracking of all the money it spends. Not only is it unable to pass an audit-where are the assets? Where is the money being spent? This, not only a tracking of whether the money is being spent effectively. The budget is $3.8T annually, and only 50% is accounted for. There are many reasons for this. We discuss the reasons, and the role of military contractors.  WNHNFM.ORG   Production 

Joy leads this episode of The ReidOut with a scandal in Florida, involving the Chair of Florida's Republican Party, Christian Ziegler. Ziegler is now under criminal investigation for allegations related to sexual battery, according to a complaint filed by the Sarasota Police Department. Joy and her guests discuss this plus Ziegler's wife Bridget Ziegler's anti-lgbtq activism as co-founder of Mom's for Liberty. Plus, new warnings about former President Trump's plans for a second presidency, which some say would move the country into a full-blown autocracy. Also, Ayman Mohyeldin joins Joy to discuss the latest on the ground in Gaza, with civilians receiving mounting pressure to flee despite no real options with Israel and Egypt refusing to allow refugees. This comes as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin delivered strong remarks Saturday, about Israel needing to protect civilians in Gaza, calling them the center of gravity in Israel's war with Hamas. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 84: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Here's an idea. What if - instead of waiting for Trump to manipulate our system and get elected again and use The Insurrection Act against AMERICA, we just used it against him - today? It's not like he's not guilty of... you know... INSURRECTION. B-Block (28:03) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Deadline nears on Ukraine $: How could the GOP be anti-gun? Witness tampering in the Georgia Trump case (with singing). The online Mehdi Hasan petition exceeds 15,000. Trump calls Jimmy Carter "The First Lady" and never even notices. (33:13) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: COP28 actually put a UAE Oil Sultan in charge and they're all shocked he denied fossil fuels are killing the planet. Trump Diapers now on sale. And Christian Ziegler is not only in huge legal trouble, but the other woman was only really interested in his Missus. C-Block (38:36) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I guess because I'm suggesting using The Insurrection Act to SAVE America rather than leaving it for Trump to use to DESTROY America, I want to tell the saga of "A Christmas Story" and how Little Ralphie finally figured out how to defeat the bully, Scut Farkas (by invoking the insurrection act!)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Waldman picked up a new Advent calendar to help keep track of his Hallmark movies this season. We'll make a secret Santanist out of him yet! Speaking of Christians, Florida Gop Chair Christian Ziegler, and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler... like another woman very, very much, but Christian seems to also like raping, and being mean, which makes everyone sad and angry. The Zieglers and probably their (Formally?) really good friend don't like children reading about such things… and kissing… so they take kid's books away. Lucky for kids, a good Penguin will never let that happen! Moms for America Action invites Donald Trump to join them under the comforter. If women's attitudes don't shift, rural white hate-nerds will need to find someone other than “women” to have sex with. In war, those things guys get away with, they get away with a lot more. Rape has always been a weapon to choose from. Too bad Hamas exercised “the perfect deception”, and picked a bunch of anti-right hippies to attack, giving Israel no choice but to blow Palestine smithereens into much tinier pieces. At least this means job security for Israeli soldiers with autism. Estonia joins Finland in dropping an iron curtain on Russia. Georgie we hardly knew ye, but who'd want to? Sandra Day O'Connor will be in history textbooks also. Meanwhile, a Trump dictatorship is becoming increasingly inevitable. Who could ever stop him? Well, good governing would. Dick Durbin discovered that the rules aren't there just for Republicans. Republicans hate those kinds of rules! Scott Perry did not want anybody looking at his cellphone. In retrospect, that totally makes sense.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 83: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT:  I'd like to apologize for what MSNBC has become. Again. I'd like to apologize AGAIN for what MSNBC has become. They fired Mehdi Hasan yesterday. He hosted one hour a week on Sunday nights and it might have been the best hour on the network because while I don't know that I agreed with even MOST of what he said, he wasn't doctrinaire and he didn't simply repeat what Maddow says and he didn't pretend to be a moderate because being a Trump propagandist didn't work out for him like Scarborough does and he didn't struggle to read a prompter full of Democratic Party talking points like Joy Reid does and to my knowledge he never fell asleep on the air like Andrea Mitchell does nor cause the viewer to fall asleep like Hayes and O'Donnell do. I do NOT know for certain why they fired him, I do NOT know if he said something about the Middle East they did not like, I do not know if the timing was coincidental. Let's put it this way: they either fired him for his Middle East opinions DURING conflict in the Middle East OR they fired him for something else DURING conflict in the Middle East and thus made themselves look guilty of firing him for his Middle East opinions anyway. Just as important as the continuing asinine and ignorant conduct of the management of MSNBC and NBC and NBC News is the issue of personal integrity of the people at what is god help us the closest thing to a liberal news network in this country. MORE important than the FIRING of Mehdi Hasan, is the response from MSNBC's stars about the firing of Mehdi Hasan. Want to read what Maddow and O'Donnell and Hayes and Wagner and Reid and everybody else said about this:   Wanna read it again? The POINT of HAVING the money IS that you SHOULD say "F YOU" to somebody at least once in your life. Not like Musk did; saying it to people who for some reason don't want their ads next to antisemitic and Pizzagate posts. But in DEFENSE of something. FOR something. If there are three people at NBC – hell, three people in NEWS – three people in TELEVISION – who can at least get away with a loud pointed protest – hell, can get away with saying “If Mehdi Hasan goes or if Tiffany Cross goes or if we keep diluting our product down to badly rewritten Democratic Party press releases, we're on strike” – if there are THREE people in media – besides like Taylor Swift - who can say “We are standing on our principles” and will LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT, it's Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell. Of course – you've gotta HAVE principles. ALSO the Judge Engoron Trump gag order is back in place and Trump is still endangering the judge, his wife, and now his son. And Politico says the editorial that provoked Trump to revive the self-own "I will kill ObamaCare" not only revivified the ISSUE; it revivified Biden's campaign. Emails went out within hours. Nancy Pelosi got on a press call Tuesday. Biden hit Trump on video Wednesday. Commercials are already running on the state level. And then the Wall Street Journal ran another editorial on ObamaCare… attacking… TRUMP. For his failure to repeal AND his failed response to their first editorial. Whereupon Trump replied by attacking… the Wall Street Journal by calling the paper quote “Globalist” and the Editorial Page a “mess.” The Editorial Page whose editorial about ObamaCare got him so excited that he again vowed to replace ObamaCare and thus revitalized the Biden campaign and I haven't fully diagrammed this bizarre confluence of events but I think the gist of it is: if Biden is re-elected we can thank… The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board? B-Block (31:46) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: House Judiciary subpoenas Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo and enrages GOP. Good. Wanna guess how many copies Marjorie Greene's book sold in its first week? You need only three digits. And Henry Kissinger is dead. Are we certain? (37:35) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Even The Daily Caller has fired Tucker Carlson. Lanah Burkhardt and book banning for fun and profit. And Three's Company: Florida GOP Chief accused of sexual battery by a woman who says she and he and his wife - who is the co-founder of Moms For Liberty - had a long-standing menage-a-trois polygamy thing going on. Oh so it's THAT kind of liberty! Moms for three-ways!

An apparent intimidation attempt involving a white supremacist group in Bradenton this July resulted in a complaint with the Manatee Sheriff's Office. Anything came of it? WSLR reporter Dean Gallo is following up. Then: Garbage fees are spiking throughout this region. What's going on? WSLR reporter Sophia Brown is looking for answers. Next: The new superintendent of Sarasota Schools had a tough first two weeks on the job. Yesterday, the new schools chief resumed his listening tour, and WSLR's Ramon Lopez is following him. Next: The chair of the Sarasota School Board, which is in charge of public schools in this county, also is a paid employee of an organization that trains conservative activists to advocate - among others - for school privatization. Ramon Lopez has a look at how Bridget Ziegler's dual-track approach is drawing both scrutiny and praise. Then: Arcadia is still picking up the pieces left by Hurricane Ian. The Community News Collaborative's Sarah Owens traveled to rural DeSoto County seat to see how they fared against the impacts of Hurricane Idalia. Finally: Pinellas County was spared a direct hit from Hurricane Idalia, but was subject to widespread flooding. Chris Young from partner station WMNF was there as the county assessed damage from the hurricane the morning after.

The DeSantis-appointed trustees running New College took the first step towards cutting an academic program on the small liberal arts campus. Sophia Brown was at the trustees' meeting Thursday. Then: Bridget Ziegler is both chair of the Sarasota School Board and a salary-earning vice president of a conservative organizing institute. That institute opened an office on Main Street in Sarasota today, and some protesters were there to point out a potential conflict of interest for Ziegler. Ramon Lopez has the details. Next: A builders' association asked Manatee County to abolish its wetland buffer rules, and the county is trying to oblige. But the plan is meeting organized resistance, and a first meeting to discuss this plan was not a home run for builders and bureaucrats. Our news team has the details. 

Mike describes how it feels like there are two different Americas right now. There is one America that loves police, supports the rule of law, and supports Trump. There is another that believes Trump being arraigned again is a great day for America. Former D.C. police officer & CNN contributor Michael Fanone compared Donald Trump to Osama Bin Laden. Trump stated that this is a sad day for America and that this indictment is persecution of a political opponent. Joe Biden posted a ‘Dark Brandon' video online gloating on the day Trump was arraigned in D.C. Also, Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson made it very clear that his whole mindset involves coddling criminals. VP of School Board Leadership Programs at the Leadership Institute, Bridget Ziegler, joins Mike for an entire hour to discuss how we can win over school boards across America. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fox News host Will Cain asked Gov. Ron DeSantis about his ability to connect with voters and his struggling poll numbers. DeSantis said that it is still very early in the campaign and in this presidential cycle. What do you think of the DeSantis campaign so far? Mike takes two callers on air at the same time with different perspectives of what the best scenario is for the GOP in 2024.

“What if I told you could help to save America for as little as $150 by investing in school board races across the country that conservatives could win. No seriously. In this episode Carl speaks with the VP of School Board Leadership Programs at the Leadership Institute, Bridget Ziegler. Bridget currently chairs the Sarasota County School Board in Florida. She's a wife and mother of 3 young daughters that left behind a lucrative career of 15 years because she saw how the left was brainwashing and sexualizing our kids in school. Not only did she help draft the Florida Parents Bill of Rights, she also played an instrumental role in Gov DeSantis's EO that stopped school districts from forcing mask mandates on students. Bridget, along with the Leadership Institute, is focused on taking back the nation's K-12 public schools one school board seat at a time by training parents that want to run for school board how to message and win those races in their area.

The story out of New York City of the marine who had repeat criminal Jordan Neely in a chokehold is getting lots of national media attention. Neely died following the chokehold, which nobody is applauding. However, the marine was just trying to diffuse a situation and protect the community from a man who has been arrested 40 times for assaulting innocent people. AOC tweeted out that the marine is a murderer. Folks on the Left such as Al Sharpton also chimed in with their outrage over this. Also, the story of this whistleblower alleging that the FBI & DOJ have a document revealing a criminal scheme involving Biden and a foreign national is an enormous scandal.

This week we're talking about everyone's favorite “grassroots” organization, Moms for Liberty. Justin is breaking out the cork board to show you where it's all coming from.

Among the titles in Brave Books's catalog are Elephants Are Not Birds, Little Lives Matter, and More Than Spots and Stripes — 100,000 copies of this anti-critical race theory book were given away on Martin Luther King Day this year.

Instead, the department chose a self-nominated individual named Michelle Beavers. Beavers heads the local chapter of Moms for Liberty, a right-wing group that gained notoriety during the pandemic for attending and protesting school board meetings to oppose mask mandates and LGBTQ inclusivity in schools. She herself advocated for Brevard County schools to ban the coming-of-age graphic novel This One Summer over its mention of lesbians and its crude teenage humor.

Who is Moms for Liberty?Moms for Liberty has county-specific chapters across the country that target local school board meetings, school board members, administrators, and teachers.

People buy books from them to have them donated to teachers and students directly. Sales money goes back to Moms for Libraries to fund more donations (allegedly).  Donating directly to students rather than libraries.  Agenda as self-describedFocus on restrictions on “public school libraries” (very deliberate phrasing, always includes the public part). Probably to conflate school libraries with public libraries so they can censor those as well in the name of school aged children. Tend to avoid talking about public libraries when on the defensive. (“If N.C. statutes require parental consent for sex education, why are we freely allowing sexually explicit materials in our public school libraries and classrooms?”)  Probably also use Public School to differentiate from Charter Schools, home schooling Pushes for early literacy and funding of libraries (for the moment) Mixture of ideology. Wedging into liberal support until it shifts. TERF behavior.  Focus on transparency language (identical to Gov. DeSantis anti DEI order).  Most local chapter members believe these are legitimate grassroots organizations. May not have lasting power when the people funding it lose interest.  Fights over school boards are nothing new, the homeschooling movement has been infiltrating public school boards for decades. Will also attempt to divert funds to charter schools. Moms for DeSantis explicitly against public education by promoting Crimes of the Educators.

Ever since the pandemic saw school boards explode into shouting matches over mask mandates, nothing has been the same. And Florida has been the epicenter of some of those battles. Leading the charge is Bridget Ziegler, mother of three, and chair of the Sarasota school board. She is against the teaching of CRT and gender identity, but she is pro protecting the rights of parents. And Governor Ron DeSantis endorses her. Bloomberg spent several days with Ziegler, and over the course of three episodes we got to know her – and her opponents.  In chapter one of “The School Board Queen” we meet Ziegler and her family, and we learn her origin story. There were mean girls in high school. She didn't finish college. And it was a surprising suggestion from her husband that set her on the school board path. We also talk to a former school board member who was so put off by Ziegler's “shenanigans” that she left the Republican party and registered as a Democrat.  “The School Board Queen” is reported, produced and hosted by Kathleen Quillian and Samantha Storey.

Bridget Ziegler is against the teaching of CRT and gender identity. She believes parents should have ultimate control over their children's education. In chapter two of “The School Board Queen” we explore where these stances come from. We hear from a Republican woman who fought against communism in her kids' schools in the 1950s. We hear some of the first instructional videos made for sex ed classes, including one on how to groom yourself and another on whether or not to go steady. Two historians, Michelle Nickerson and Natalia Mehlman Petrzela who studied the era, take us on a tour, drawing a through-line from the mothers of yesterday to Bridget Ziegler today.   “The School Board Queen” is reported, produced and hosted by Kathleen Quillian and Samantha Storey.

In the final chapter of “The School Board Queen” we dig in with Bridget Ziegler. Her opponents have called her names – transphobic and racist. But she says she'll take “the arrows of being called whatever” for what she believes in. She's a champion of the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act – that's the so-called Don't Say Gay bill, which critics call unsupportive of the LGBTQ community. We want to know what it's like to be a student living with the bill, and we spend time with a trans teenager, an eleventh grader, who surprises us with their clear-eyed perspective. “The School Board Queen” is reported, produced and hosted by Kathleen Quillian and Samantha Storey.

Sarasota County School Board Member Bridget Ziegler joined Veronica LIVE to discuss her work fighting to make school board seats conservative throughout the state of Florida. She also was endorsed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Bridget talked about her role as the new National Director of the Leadership Institute working nationwide to convert school board seats to red. The organization assists newly elected conservative school board members by providing them the tools they need to be successful.

Bridget Ziegler was among the 30 school board candidates to earn the endorsement of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this year.It was a novel approach for a governor to endorse school board candidates, but one that paid off big time for conservatives who support education freedom and parental empowerment. Nationwide, many first-time candidates won election to school boards. And in Florida, all six DeSantis-endorsed candidates on the November ballot won their school board elections. For the year, 24 of the DeSantis-backed candidates were victorious.Even though Ziegler's election took place in August, she's continued to play an active role in school board elections nationwide as the Leadership Institute's director of school board programs.She joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to talk about her experiences on the Sarasota County School Board and how she's leveraging what she's learned to help others through training programs at the Leadership Institute.Listen to other podcasts from The Daily Signal: https://www.dailysignal.com/podcasts/Get daily conservative news you can trust from our Morning Bell newsletter: DailySignal.com/morningbellsubscriptionListen to more Heritage podcasts: https://www.heritage.org/podcastsSign up for The Agenda newsletter—the lowdown on top issues conservatives need to know about each week: https://www.heritage.org/agenda Hosted on Acast.

Self-described thick-skinned activist Bridget Ziegler is a mother of three and the youngest elected member of the Sarasota school board. No stranger to controversy for her advocacy protecting parental rights and opposing indoctrination, she joins the Millenial Party to share her take on House Bill 1557, more commonly known as the “Don't Say Gay Bill.”   Tune in as Bridget sets aside the fear narratives and clickbait as she discusses what HB 1557 really means for our schools. Is it discriminatory, or is it truly about protecting parental rights? Are we dealing with more government overreach, and what are the unforeseen consequences of this liberal shift? And who is it actually hurting from it?    Listen in for what Bridget Ziegler has to say.   KEY POINTS: - Is the liberal agenda trying to exploit young minds? - What is HB 1557? - Government overreach and emotional exploitation  - Where did the shift to pre-programming in K-12 begin? - Why HB 1557 is not necessarily an LGBTQ issue   QUOTABLES: “Education impacts every single person in your community, whether you have children or not, and whether you own business or real estate or have employees. Everyone has skin in the game.” “I believe in what I fight for. And I think that's important to anyone listening, no matter what your cause is, you're going to always have haters that are going to try to throw things at you to derail you.”   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES:  Love what you're hearing?

Many conservatives in Florida contend that parents should have a greater say in the education and care of their children. Schools have a role to play, they say, but should not be allowed to substitute their judgment for that of parents — even when children attempt to assert their own rights to privacy. Florida lawmakers have proposed a new section to state statute outlining the rights they believe parents should have enshrined in law, assuring that school districts and other governments cannot keep them from fully participating in the raising of their children. Sarasota County School Board member Bridget Ziegler, who helped write the legislation and stands among the most ardent supporters, speaks with reporter Jeff Solochek about the initiative and why she thinks parents need a stronger voice written into law.
