Florida governor candidate vows to ‘mandate’ uniforms in all public schools

CEO and conservative influencer James Fishback, who has thrown his hat into the ring as a candidate for governor of Florida, has thrown out another bold promise to voters.

Fishback, who previously vowed to push for a 50% “Sin Tax” for OnlyFans creators, now says he wants to see all public school students in Florida wearing uniforms.

In a post on X, Fishback said that if he is elected governor, he will “mandate” specific uniforms for all public school students: a white polo, khakis, and a belt for boys and knee-length dresses or pant suits for girls.

“Strong schools are only possible with order and discipline,” Fishback wrote.

One commenter asked Fishback to address the cost of the uniforms for families, and he clarified, posting “parents will get a $250 uniform stipend per child.”

Sin tax

In a previous post about the Sin Tax, Fishback explained that all revenue from the tax would go toward public education, crisis pregnancy centers, and even a “mental health czar” for men.

“As Florida governor, year one, I will push for the first-of-its-kind OnlyFans Sin Tax,” Fishback said during an interview with the conservative YouTube channel NXR Studios. “If you are a so-called OnlyFans creator in Florida, you are going to pay 50% to the state on whatever you so-called earn via that online degeneracy platform.”

Fishback also said that the tax would be meant to disincentivize women from performing on the platform.

“As Florida Governor, I will not let young, smart, and capable women be exploited by OnlyFans,” Fishback wrote.

A “sin tax” is a form of excise tax levied on products that are considered harmful to the public at large, usually intended to dissuade customers from buying these goods.

Florida already features sin taxes on alcohol and tobacco products, though it remains to be seen how a proposal like Fishback’s would be implemented. Florida’s state constitution explicitly prohibits income taxes from being levied in the state.

Fishback is also campaigning to stop H-1B visas for foreign workers, cancel A.I. data centers, and abolish property taxes, much in the same vein as current Gov. Ron DeSantis.

On the Republican side, Fishback is running against candidates like frontrunner U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds and Lt. Gov. Jay Collins.

The election this year is set to be held on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
