Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Declares War on Critical Race Theory

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is ridding Florida public schools of Critical Race Theory.

During an official education announcement this week from Naples, DeSantis blasted the indoctrination curriculum as hateful and anti-American. 

"Let me be clear, there is no room in our classrooms for things like Critical Race Theory. Teaching kids to hate their country & to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money," DeSantis said. "We will invest in actual, solid, true curriculum and we will be a leader in the development and implementation of a world class civics education."

Even better, DeSantis plans to reward schools for teaching accurate civics. 

"Under the governor’s proposal, teachers who get credentialed in teaching civics would get a $3,000 bonus. Some $16.5 million would be devoted to training teachers and principals in civics education. That training would come from civics “coaches,” in-person seminars and virtual learning," the Associated Press reports.

Meanwhile, proponents of CRT have been infiltrating school districts around the country. In Virginia, parents opposed to it are being put on lists for doxxing, hacking and public shaming.

First things first.

DeSantis and Noem and others should start their own “America First Governors” club and unite the resistance behind them. This should become the spearhead for states rights, federalism, and reversing/neutralizing Xiden mandates and unconstitutional laws.

Save the country, then we can talk about 2028.

ABSOLUTE WOW!!!

Time for fellow PATRIOTS to MAN-UP & WOMAN-UP by following Governor DeSantis' excellent example.

President Trump demonstrated daily the clear/concise exposition of TRUTH and it drove the democommies waaay past insanity-squared.

I don’t like the name Critical Race Theory.

It’s Radical Race Theory. EVERYTHING revolves around kracker supremacy and skin color.

When I went to HS in Florida, there was a required course to graduate popularly called AvC, which stood for Americanism vs Communism. In that class, we studied varying forms of governments around the world. We were still taught that Americanism was far superior to every other -ism other countries used. I wonder if that course is still required. I would expect that it’s not, and wonder when it was removed from the curriculum. It should be reinstated if it is gone.

Common Core is still being taught in Florida schools, it's just not called Common Core any longer.
