READ ALL THE FACTS on Jay Collins and Florida's classrooms
Verdict: GUILTY of putting parents in charge.
In May 2026, Jay Collins rolled out "Operation F3: Florida Families First" — an education plan built on one idea: parents, not bureaucrats, should run their kids' education. It strengthens parental rights, lets students customize their path toward college, a trade, or the military, expands workforce, trades, and agricultural training, adds cybersecurity and AI safeguards for student data, and pushes back on federal overreach — what the plan calls "education on Florida's terms." As a state senator he sat on the Education Pre-K–12 committee, championing the same priorities he now wants to take statewide.
