- Two high-ranking police officers in Florida are being investigated for admitting to putting their 3-year-old child in jail due to struggles with toilet training.
- Lt. Michael Schoenbrod of the Daytona Beach Shores Public Safety Department brought his son to jail on consecutive days in October, handcuffing him the second time.
- Schoenbrod told a caseworker at the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) that his fearful toddler promised not to soil himself again.
- Schoenbrod denied any presence of feces in the cell at the time and stated that his child was simply sitting in jail, without being handcuffed.

After DeSantis criticism, College Board unveils updated framework for AP African American studies
axios.com/2023/02/01/college-board-ap-african-american-studies
Quick Glance: The AP African American Studies class framework has been announced, and it is already being tested at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute.
- The official curriculum for the Advanced Placement African American Studies course, which has been criticised by some conservatives, was released on Wednesday, the first day of Black History Month.
- While media coverage of the curriculum announcement suggested that the College Board bowed to pressure, board officials said the course revisions were nearly finished before DeSantis voiced his concerns.
- Through the implementation of a programme called BMore Me in 2019, the system changed lessons to include more history about Black Baltimore. DeSantis, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2024, stated that he was opposing the course in Florida because it promoted a political agenda.

- When it came to criticising Trump, Republican candidates echoed Homer Simpson's campaign slogan, " Can't someone else do it ?"
- Someone has to attack Trump, keep attacking Trump, bloody his nose, and then survive the counterpunch to defeat the reigning champion.
