Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) slammed critical race theory during remarks that he made late last week at a signing for a state tax cut package, saying that he will “play whack-a-mole all over the state” to destroy the much-criticized ideology wherever it pops up.
“You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig,” DeSantis said (video below). “So what we’re doing, the Department, the Florida Board of Education is meeting and they are addressing this. And I told them, they need to address this. And we’ve got to do it. I mean, first of all, it’s offensive. Here we are celebrating tax savings. It’s offensive to the taxpayer, that they would be asked to fund critical race theory, that they would be asked to fund teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other.”
