Florida Advances Restrictions on Teachers 
------------------------------------------



In Florida, state lawmakers have approved a measure to end teacher

measure proposed last year sparked massive demonstrations and a veto
from then-Gov. Charlie Crist. The new Florida governor, Rick Scott, is
expected to sign the bill into law.
