Florida Politics reports:
Bipartisan legislation that could put religious figures in your child’s classroom passed the House by an 89-25 margin, after a spirited debate in which one of the sponsors called herself a “Holy Roller” and said she “casts out devils.”
HB 931, sponsored by Republican Rep. Stan McClain and Democratic Rep. Kim Daniels [photo], would “authorize volunteer school chaplains to provide support, services, and programs to students. Daniels also said the separation of church and state was “intended to keep the state out of the church.”
“I am the opponents of this bill’s worst nightmare,” Daniels continued. “I cast out devils, I pray in tongues, I’m a Holy Roller. But nobody on this floor can ever say I tried to convert you. Jesus is too good to push down anybody’s throats.”

Rep. Kim Daniels, who claims to be an exorcist by trade, first appeared on JMG when she declared that children’s dolls are sometimes possessed by demons.
Prior to her election as a state rep, Daniels led the campaign to defeat Jacksonville’s LGBTQ rights ordinance.
Her bill to place “In God We Trust” signs in all Florida classrooms was approved in 2018.
In 2019, she authored an ultimately failed bill to force Florida schools to offer separate elective courses on the Old and New Testaments.
Daniels, who claims the title of “apostle,” earned national attention last year when an old video was surfaced in which she declared, “I thank God for slavery.”
In the Christian network video below, she explains that her primary role in life is as a “demon buster.”
