It's the kids that wanted an education from a normal school that are getting hurt

DeSantis is now using more public funds to push conservative christian "education". If kids who want to go to a religious school enroll here, this is a win for the christian right

And unfortunately the state of Florida is suffering a brain drain because of that, along with a drain of low income immigrant workers.

Somehow, I get the feeling he doesn't really give two fucks, though. I mean, he won't until the barbarians (us) are at the gate.

I think you are missing the important part here. The school now has a football, baseball, and that other kind of football, team. It doesn't actually have facilities or fields for any of these activities, but what matters is that now they can give scholarships for students in these vital academic pursuits.
