WATCH: Gov Ron DeSantis blasts Critical Race Theory, says they are banning it in Florida

by The Right Scoop

Governor Ron DeSantis blasted Critical Race Theory today in his announcement that the state is creating a new curriculum that will expressly forbid CRT and other ‘unsanctioned narratives’:

Below is the full transcript of DeSantis’ comments:

We also want to be able to support our teachers by making investments in our civics curriculum. Included in the proposal, $17 million to bolster Florida’s civics curriculum and to expedite the implementation of Florida’s best standards, which is what we did to repeal and replace common core. A high quality education begins with a high quality curriculum, which is why we’re going to be laser-focused on developing the best possible civics instruction standards. Florida’s civics curriculum will incorporate foundational concepts with the best materials, and it will expressly exclude unsanctioned narratives like critical race theory and other unsubstantiated theories.

Let me be clear– there is no room in our classrooms for things like critical race theory. Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.

So we will invest in actual, solid, true curriculum, and we will be a leader in the development and implementation of a world class civics education. There are current legislative proposals for the development of integrated civics literacy curriculum, civics curriculum support to school districts, and to curate top-in-class oral history resources through the Department of Education. The proposals outlined today will complement these legislative proposals, and I encourage the legislature to pass this legislation and send it to my desk.

Florida is so lucky to have a governor like DeSantis who actually cares about his citizens and the education their children receive. Blocking these toxic ‘narratives’ is essential and just one more reason why DeSantis is looking like someone I’d very much love to vote for in 2024.

UPDATE: And just to point out, this is totally something the Florida legislature should be able to accomplish:
