Florida’s education chief is telling public school districts across the state to not use an online tutoring service that has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

In a memo sent out on March 26, Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. advised against enlisting the service of Tutor.com, a website that partners with schools, colleges, libraries, and even the U.S. military to provide on-demand tutoring and homework help for users from kindergarten to continued education.
