Question Presented (from Petition)

Question 1:
Is the present Florida education system of 'separate but equal' county
education districts with no central state FL DOE oversight a form of
segregation making it a violation of'Brown v. Board of Education', (US S. Ct.
1954), because with 'Brown' 'Plessy v. Ferguson' was determined to be
unconstitutional in education systems?

Question 2:
Is it unconstitutional in a complaint of discrimination within a federally
funded work training education program for the Florida Department of
Education,(FL DOE), to use Florida Constitution Art. IX 4(b) and Florida
Statutes 1001.42 (4)(h), 1001.33, 1001.42(5)(a), & 1012.22(1) for dismissal in
Florida Second Circuit Court citing that these state authorities jusitfy that
the FL DOE does not have jurisdiction over the claims even though a plaintiff
filed the complaint and used support citing the US Civil Rights Act/Codes of
1964, (Title VI & VII), 42 U.S.C.2000 for protection, processing and relief?

Question 3:
Is it proper due process as per the due process clause of the Fift Amendment
of the US Constitution for FL DOE through Florida Second Circuit Court to
use Florida Constitution Art. IX 4(b) and Florida Statutes 1001.42 (4)(h),
1001.33, 1001.42(5)(a), & 1012.22(1) in place of the US Civil Rights
Act/Codes of 1964, Title VII, 42 U.S.C.2000 for decisions in a case of US Civil
Rights violations?

Question 4:
Considering Questions 2 & 3, a resulting question is do the Florida state
authorities of Florida Constitution Art. IX 4(b), and Florida Statutes
1001.42 (4)(h), 1001.33, 1001.42(5)(a), & 1012.22(1) provide equivalent and
sufficient substitutions for the federal authorities of the US Civil Rights Act/
Codes of 1964, Title VI & VII, 42 U.S.C.2000 and the Federal Rules of Civil
Proceture when both are used in Florida court decisions of individual Civil
Rights and the federal authorities for the required adherence to distribution,
protection, and processing of federal education funds?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is the present Florida education system of 'separate but equal' county education districts with no central state FL DOE oversight a form of segregation making it a violation of 'Brown v. Board of Education', (US S. Ct. 1954), because with 'Brown' 'Plessy v. Ferguson' was determined to be unconstitutional in education systems?
