A Jewish Florida lawmaker has successfully diverted $62,979 in taxpayer dollars from a program designed to promote teaching excellence to the Florida McHolocaust Franchise. Primary story from the St. Petersburg Times.

The House is in session working on budget bills all day, with plenty of discussion over the PreK-12 budget. Democrats lined up to question cuts to programs for mentoring, teacher development and more.

But a number of amendments also drew much discussion, including one introduced by Majority Leader Adam Hasner, R-Delray Beach.

He proposed taking $62,979 from general revenue funds for the Excellent Teaching Program — that's money for National Board certified teachers — and adding that amount to funding for the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg. Hasner said that amount is just .001 percent of the total funding for the Excellent Teaching Program.

Rep. Jim Waldman, D-Coconut Creek, said he that "as a Jew" he could vote against the amendment, but chastised leaders for forcing the choice.

"You are punishing the wrong people,” Waldman said. The amendment passed 96-13.
