Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing for more than $106 million to go toward his initiative to expand civics education in Florida schools.
DeSantis said Wednesday at North Collier Regional Park in Naples he wants to "make Florida the national leader in civics education."
DeSantis urged the Florida Legislature to take up his proposal this session and allocate funds available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES, Act.
During his announcement Wednesday, DeSantis took on critical race theory and "unsanctioned narratives," stating they will not be in Florida's curriculum.
Critical race theory holds that American institutions are inherently racist and that race is a concept used by white people to further their power.
"Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money," he said.
In 2019, DeSantis announced a plan for high school seniors to complete a civics exam closely resembling the test to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.

He gets better with age.
“Condemns Critical Race Theory” would be better...
Keep doing the right things, Ron.
Where did this guy come from, he is top notch
Not lost on me.

And how exactly do the people making this claim know that the people they're complaining about are white?
One step at a time, too many people need to be brought around slowly these days to see reality.
I think he saw what happened to Trump strictly due to his “style”, so he is going to be a bit more smoother.
But what do I know.
“Where did this guy come from, he is top notch
He was my congressman, founding member of the House Freedom Caucus. Great guy, no nonsense. Was JAG for the SEALs. Smart as a whip.
The left will do anything, ANYTHING, to prevent his reelection. Watch them pull out all stops. Huge money fro everywhere. They fear him running for POTUS. I’ll personally go door to door for him.
Anything along those lines would be an improvement.
Good...
“Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money”
That would make a great tagline . . .
I wonder if “critical race theory” anything like “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”.
Critical race theory holds that American institutions are inherently racist and that race is a concept used by white people to further their power.
"Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money," he said.
This is what a real governor does. Takes a stand and shows strength.
DeSantis 2024!
I can’t wait to vote for him for 2024; I love smart, conservative people like him (I also like Steve Bannon). And he went to Yale and Harvard both. Smart as a whip yes—and so sensible, and conservative. He has my vote already. I’ve already decided. FL somehow values children and education and teens (I have 3 teens) more than any other state.
Another great issue by my GOVERNOR, last time I had a governor this great was Ella Grasso. Ella was a Conservative Democrat, which is extinct in Connecticut now...
True, in Manatee County, a county commissioner, put two sites for vaccines in Lakewood Ranch (very Republican and very wealthy), Dems are saying Ron did it because the county commissioner is a DeSantis supporter. Nikki the Brain Fried Moron (the only statewide Democrat, who is running for Governor) and Charlie Turncoat Crust are talking about it in DC.
Nikki Frwid has got to go. She’s a menace, and nuts. HATES republicans.
