DeSantis Takes On Critical Race Theory: ‘Teaching Kids To Hate Their Country’ Not Worth ‘One Red Cent Of Taxpayer Money’

Florida is purging the teaching of “critical race theory and other unsubstantiated theories” from its public schools.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis updated the public on his state’s new educational priorities in a press conference on Wednesday. The governor said that the state’s civic education should focus on “foundational principles” rather than narratives such as critical race theory that views all of history through the lens of race, and suggests that racism still infects almost every institution in the U.S. today.
