Focusing on education instead of indoctrination...what a novel approach.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday signed legislation combatting Critical Race Theory , declaring that “we believe in education, not indoctrination.”
The bill DeSantis signed on Friday provides what he described as “substantive protections for both students and parents to ensure that the education they’re receiving in Florida is consistent with the standards of the state of Florida.” Those standards do not allow “pernicious ideologies like Critical Race Theory to be taught in our K-12 schools,” the governor said, promising that tax dollars will not be used to teach children to hate the United States.
He briefly addressed opponents who are lying about the bill, who claim that the DeSantis administration is attempting to stop children from learning history: “When in reality you can read the pamphlets, you can look at the Boston Tea Party. You can see what they were upset about because they told us. They wrote it down and they wrote a Declaration of Independence to fuel their fight for freedom,” he explained, stressing the importance of accuracy and emphasizing that “we cannot allow ideologues to try to distort what has happened in this country’s history.
“We are not going to allow teach that a person simply by virtue of his or her race, color, national origin or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive. That’s wrong,” he said.
