Ron DeSantis to balance campaigning, homeschooling on trail in Iowa
Congratulations to Casey DeSantis, who is celebrating another trip around the sun.

DeSantis family
'Monday is a school day.'

Ron DeSantis is a man of many talents, and they include academic instruction.

During a tour stop sponsored by the DeSantis-aligned Never Back Down super PAC on Saturday, the Florida Governor and 2024 Republican presidential candidate suggested that the campaign bus would also serve as a school room on wheels Monday, as the First Family rolls through Iowa.

“So Monday is a school day. So when we’re on the bus going from county to county, we’ll be homeschooling them on the bus for that day. Now they have a great school in Florida they go to, but you just have to do it,” DeSantis said in Ankeny.

First Lady Casey DeSantis and the couple’s three children, MadisonMason, and Mamie, were on hand for the speech. And as close observers of the DeSantis campaign are aware, the 2024 race for the White House has thus far been a family affair.

Yet much of the earlier action was during the summer, when academic instruction wasn’t an issue.

While there’s no word on whether this and future trips to Iowa or other states will be counted as excused absences, it’s certain that the First Couple’s three progeny will have a unique perspective on presidential campaigns should they be brought up in classroom discussions this year.

    home schooling is akin to child abuse. desantis is out campaigning on a losing battle while his kids should be in school. he is not presidential enough to make a good example to american families. he is probably teaching them the bible and not much else. kids deserve better. look at how stupid trumps kids appear to be.

      The girl scarfed up a dozen Chinese patents, and her husband made off with a $2,000,000,000 investment in his firm from Saudi Arabia and a pardon for his felonious father, but you’re right about the boys – both dumb as stumps like dad.

    Every working person in Florida is allowed to “homeschool” their kids while they “work.”

    Yeah, right. And under his new voucher giveaway, he collects about $24,000 for doing this?

    Homeschooling like reading them the ‘art of the deal’? The next generation of idiots is coming.

      yeah he’s real bad, so why did florida voters elect him twice. rick scott is also very bad and he keeps getting elected. do the florida news outlets let their voters know what’s going on. i know maga cult gets their info from bannon and Qanon, but something must be done quickly before the next election. home schooling is a white christian fascist thing.

    Lol, “First Couple’s three progeny will have a unique perspective on presidential campaigns…”

    Yeah, a perspective on how to be political props, like Ron’s idol, Blondi, the legend of political props,.
