The DeSantis administration’s latest culture war fight over a college-level psychology course is sending Florida schools scrambling to figure out how to handle the confusing standoff, with just days to spare before students return from summer break.

“Free” in the sense that the state(s) cannot interfere with what is taught. It’s the same meaning of “free” as in “land of the free”, not as in “free beer”.
However, all public tuition (primary school, secondary school, and universities) really is free as in “free beer”. Only kindergarten and private schools aren’t.

Luckily, article 5, paragraph 3 has two senteces: " The arts, sciences, research and education are free. The freedom of education does not release from the loyalty to the constitution"
You got me, I didn’t quote the whole thing because I didn’t think it was relevant.
Article 5, paragraph 3, sentence 2 states:
Nazism isn’t compatible wtih loyality to the constitution. Neither is religious schools teaching hate.

You’ve encouraged me to look into this further. Apparently, I interpreted these freedoms wrong. They seem (in my limited undestanding) to be more about research and university teaching than “regular” schools. That is, researches can look into anything they want, but teachers can’t teach whatever they want.
There are curriculums, issued by the individual states, that are binding for schools and teachers. This should’ve told me immediately that education can’t be as free as I thought.
I agree with you that there should be “minimums in educational curriculum”. There’s an ongoing debate that education should be more standardized across the states, but as it is now, even different schools within the same state have different exams that are not all equally difficult to pass.
A minimum education standard would be inclusive not exclusive like what Florida is pushing.
There’s a clear difference.

This whole thread is about Florida. Both places are far too highly concentrated with Nazis, try not to hurt yourself in your confusion.

Rather than crazy religious people using the State to interfere with what is taught to everyone?
Like in Florida?

Making education a right and leaving it up to educator’s doesn’t sound extreme.
And religious schools teach hate here in the states. No one is stopping that.
So I don’t really no what you’re going on about.
