“We’re here today, because we believe in education, not indoctrination,” DeSantis said during Friday’s press conference, flanked by Florida officials and parents.
An important tenant of freedom in Florida, DeSantis said, is “freedom from having oppressive ideologies opposed upon you without your consent, whether it be in the classroom or whether it be in the workplace, and we decided to do something about it.”
The bill DeSantis signed on Friday provides what he described as “substantive protections for both students and parents to ensure that the education they’re receiving in Florida is consistent with the standards of the state of Florida.” Those standards do not allow “pernicious ideologies like Critical Race Theory to be taught in our K-12 schools,” the governor said, promising that tax dollars will not be used to teach children to hate the United States.
Every student counts, DeSantis continued, making it clear that the state is not interested in categorizing individuals based on race
We are not going to tell some kindergartner that they’re an oppressor based on their race,” he said, adding that they are also not going to teach children that they are oppressed based on their race, either.
He briefly addressed opponents who are lying about the bill, who claim that the DeSantis administration is attempting to stop children from learning history:
It is required in Florida statutes to teach about all segments of American history, where you have to teach about the Holocaust. You must teach about African American history. You teach about the institution and the abolition of slavery. You teach about the failure of the post-Civil War amendments to take hold and how you needed to fight for civil rights.

Agreed.
Fair elections have consequences.
I was reading that it may not have been legal as it appears to be retaliation of a company amounts to an infringement of its First Amendment right to free speech
I’m sure Disney will sue as infringement of their constitutional freedom of speech right infringement.
And you don’t believe all that won’t be made up in new property taxes and fees Disney will now be liable for?
All those annoying bureaucracies will now reign over the kingdom.
Well, I guess we’ll see if any lawsuits come up.
Legally, it might be a stretch, because all this law does is to now treat Disney the same as any other business. It takes away the special status they have had all these years.
It might be hard, legally speaking, to say that it is a punishment to treat a business the same as other businesses. Of course, Disney attorneys may well try to make that argument. We will see if Disney wants to fight this in court.
For example, any Trump tweets [before they kicked him off] would have a wall of vitriol and hate from The Usual Hating Lefty Suspects before you got to the hidden supportive tweets.
Had you tweeted, it would have been hidden and buried.
” we believe in education, not indoctrination”
Racist!/s
Disney was already paying taxes to the state and local governments. Dissolving the Reedy Creek Improvement District transfers its liabilities to local governments, for a total of 1 to 1.7 billion dollars. If they can’t meet the obligations the state may have to come to their aid.
‘We Believe in Education, Not Hate’
Orange County tax collector Scott Randolph says otherwise. If anyone knows how this would work, he would.
all the freaks that live on the coasts in their safe spaces can go kick rocks. Including the perverts in the ruling elite who seem to prey on very young adults and the underage.
THIS issue is costing the neo Marxists ie Dems a lot of Hispanic support. Unlike losing black support where blacks idea of not supporting a dem is to stay home vs actually voting for a conservative, Hispanics will actually throw their vote to the alternative conservative.
Desantis knows this bill is very popular in his state.
God Bless Governor DeSantis, Is Family, and all who are with Him. I Support his views of this Coountry.
