DeSantis slams critical race theory and says it will have no place in Florida classrooms: 'Not worth one red cent'

[WashingtonExaminer] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed critical race theory and pledged there is no room in his state’s classrooms for the controversial curriculum.

“There's no room in our classrooms for things like critical race theory,” the Florida Republican said Wednesday. “Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.”

DeSantis pledged that Florida's curriculum will "expressly exclude" the teaching.

DeSantis also said he is proposing a $3,000 bonus for Florida teachers who complete a civics education program that focuses on “foundational concepts” rather than the critical race theory that has been spreading nationwide.

The critical race theory movement, energized by the New York Times’s recent 1619 Project, deviates from a traditional curriculum and teaches that racism is embedded in the founding of the United States.

Earlier this year, government employees in San Diego County, California, were forced to take part in critical race theory training, including a lecture stating that only white people are capable of being racist.

#1 Dang I like that kind of talk as my Dad used to say. If Trump does not run in 2024...I'd say this guy is a likely contender if he keeps this up.

#2 The Pubs could use more like Gov. DeSantis. Gov. Kristi Noem is another good governor.

#9 DeSantis may have to start thinking about things when he starts his car, gets into the tub, and when he sits down to eat.
