The Breitbart News reported on May 22 that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) vowed to take action against critical race theory promoted by the left in a speech Friday. DeSantis pointed out that the divisive, race-focused approach to teaching requires spending taxpayer dollars on a curriculum that “teaches kids to hate their country and hate their peers,” which is actually “offensive. His speech drew a round of applause from the audience.
Speaking to reporters in Pensacola on Friday, DeSantis said he strongly opposed critical race theory and vowed it would not be embraced in the Sunshine State. DeSantis said, “The Florida State Board of Education is meeting and they’re dealing with this issue. “
“Critical Race Theory, or CRT for short, looks at everything through the lens of “race” and skin color. The goal of CRT is not really to fight racism, but to create division and hatred.
The Republican governor also highlighted the fundamental flaws of critical race theory, explaining that it is based on a “false history. He explained, “When they try to look back and denigrate the Founding Fathers and denigrate the American Revolution, very liberal historians have said that they have no facts to back that up. “
DeSantis said, “The Constitution needs to be brought back into the classroom. Civic education needs to be taught accurately, on the basis of facts, not indoctrinated according to ideology. We’re going to stop this critical race theory in Florida. We’re going to take action, and you don’t have to worry. “The governor’s speech again sparked applause.
Florida is not the only state taking action against critical race theory. This week, Republicans in the Utah House and Senate, passed resolutions opposing the advancement of critical race theory in schools.
Most recently, Catholic League President Bill Donohue described critical race theory as, “racism in the name of fighting racism, a textbook example of that.
