The Miami-Dade Public School District is relaxing mask mandates as the state heats up the threats.

Also, on today’s Sunrise:

— Amid Republican infighting, a Democrat comes to the defense of House Speaker Chris Sprowls.

— And calls continue to mount against the University of Florida administration’s stance over a voting rights case, including a boycott over what’s being described as “benign racism.”

— Today’s Sunrise Interview is with Chuck Hobbs, the publisher of the Hobbservation Point Newsletter.  He issued an open letter to his alma mater, the University of Florida, calling on the administration to reverse what he calls its tone-deaf stance barring its professors from testifying in a voting rights case — which challenges SB 90.
