DeSantis is fighting academic thugs and goons running Florida's Universities and School systems and he's winning. Bye-bye to pornography for kindergartners... bye-bye to racist CRT.It can be done. We can fight back.

Hats off to the Virginia Military Institute Alumni... You're in our prayers...

Good for them. The black president of the school is an evil racist.
