The state of education in Florida as we head into 2025 | Facing South Florida

In this week's edition of Facing South Florida: CBS News Miami's Jim DeFede speaks with Karla Hernandez-Mats, the President of the United Teachers of Dade, about the special election vote held among teachers which soundly defeated efforts of The Freedom Foundation, a right-wing think tank, to decertify the county’s teachers union. This is part of a bigger story we have covered over the past two years – efforts by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republicans in Tallahassee to undermine unions across the state. The United Teachers of Dade was the Freedom Foundation’s main target. Jim and his guest also discuss the state of education in Florida. Plus, DeFede welcomes to Facing for the first time, the newly-elected Mayor of North Miami Beach, Michael Joseph, who was sworn in this past week. Joseph won in a runoff election to become the city’s first black mayor. He is a civil rights attorney whose parents came to this country from Haiti.
