As Governor, Ron DeSantis takes a top down approach to managing local affairs regarding education. But if he’s elected President, he says he’ll leave localities to do what they think is best.
During WMUR’s “Conversations with the Candidate,” the Governor suggested he would avoid anything approaching a “national curriculum” standard, even leaving the door open for concepts he has called “woke,” such as “critical race theory” and “gender ideology,” in places where locals want those approaches, forbidden in Florida.
“We’ve eliminated critical race theory in our K through 12 schools. We said we’re not going to have gender ideology where they’re telling a second grader they can change genders or things like that, that’s not appropriate,” DeSantis said, before dropping the hard line for the New Hampshire audience, non-partisan because of the state’s open primary.
“But the curriculum is a state and local issue. You know, we’re not going to develop a national curriculum because I think I could do a better job nationally than probably Oakland and San Francisco would do. But the minute the Democrats get in then they’re going to overtake my curriculum in Florida and I wouldn’t want to do that,” DeSantis said.
The Governor appointed a Board of Education and a Commissioner that, in tandem with a super-majority Legislature, have passed laws and rules prohibiting expression and topics in the classroom that were open for discussion not too long ago. But if President, DeSantis says he will treat the fifty states differently than the Sunshine State.

Yep. He’d let others push it. In Congress and the Mothers and such. He’d just sign “the will of the people” if it got through congress.”

Donor says soften your stance on anything. Let’s all watch a guy desperate for power with no personal thoughts whatsoever do anything and say anything to win power.

“But the minute the Democrats get in then they’re going to overtake my curriculum in Florida and I wouldn’t want to do that,” DeSantis said.”
An so the Democrats hold the WH and Senate and up until last year, the House – remind me again how they interfered in his BS education policies at the state level? What a clown.

Good mornting Dook 4 Brains Leftists,
Our top scientist and white lab coat wearing wisenheimer, Dr. Heinz Duffensmertz, has advised you to gradually introduce your minds to the reality that “The Ronald” will be your POTUS for the next Eight glorious years.
The good Doctor’s research has concluded you will have a much smoother less painfull transition from your tortured current Dook 4 Brains Leftist mental state and move gracefully forward into a psycologicly self actuated normal human mental healthy condition if you begin practising your mental transitions to reality early.
So to begin: start a 3 minute mental chant as soon as you wake each mornting “The Ronald is Good, The Ronald is Good, … and so on for 3 minutes. The next week go 4 minutes, the next week go 5 minutes, until you reach the optimal science proven 9 minutes. Then just continue at 9 minutes for the rest of your lives.
You will thank me,
