Florida School District Ends Ties with GOP Candidate Over Misconduct Allegations

In 2022, Florida's largest school district severed ties with GOP gubernatorial candidate James Fishback amid allegations of inappropriate conduct with a minor, which Fishback denies. The allegations involve a former student, Keinah Fort, who claimed Fishback engaged in a romantic relationship and harassed her after their breakup. Fishback, a political newcomer, has faced scrutiny over these allegations and his controversial social media posts, while also running a debate organization linked to Florida schools. The case has attracted attention due to Fishback's political ambitions and connections to Florida political figures.
