      justify? not really. just saying I can see how you could arrive at the point the educational system is making.

                There is an entire nation of educators that do have those credentials that are disputing Florida’s nonsense. Meanwhile The state itself is hemorrhaging teachers, and the insurance rates have gone so high due to repeated hurricanes that my cousin, an extremely rich and successful real estate broker, is leaving the state because real estate is now imploding there. The anti-immigrant law that the far-right legislature there passed, has left the entire construction industry at a standstill as well as wreaking havoc in the agricultural industry. Meanwhile the insurance industry is flat-out leaving the state because there’s no way to make money there. At the same time Desantis and the legislature are doing nothing to evolve Florida building codes and harden the infrastructure to keep the State livable in a world with multiple major hurricanes per season.

                At any rate, Florida is just plain f#cked - the exodus has begun and Desantis is adding fuel to the fire.

                do you have the credentials to dispute the State of Florida’s Board of Education?

                Given how much of a joke Florida’s education is, I don’t think anybody needs any credentials to criticize the board. But even if that weren’t the case, you are just a straight up using an appeal to authority fallacy.
