Ron DeSantis text bundles support for Hamas with ‘radical’ elementary school teachers
Teachers stay paid under Ron DeSantis’ administration.

'I have seen the Left's indoctrination dangerously worsen in the last couple of decades.'

Ron DeSantis’ Year of the Teacher is but a sepia-tinged memory now, with 2023 being the Year of the Terrorist.

That’s one interpretation to be drawn from the Governor’s latest text message to supporters of his presidential campaign, at least.

In a missive to his list Wednesday, the Republican candidate bashed those supporting Hamas terrorists as well as “radical” elementary school teachers, in a seeming attempt to lump ideological enemies into one box.

“I have seen the Left’s indoctrination dangerously worsen in the last couple of decades — from student organizations praising Hamas at Ivy Leagues to elementary school teachers pushing radical gender ideology down the throats of first graders,” DeSantis asserted, driving an inevitable call to action.

“Let me know here: do you agree with the businesses rescinding their employment offers to Pro-Hamas students?”

The landing page elides reference to teachers “pushing radical gender ideology down the throats” of young students, focusing instead on Hamas’ depredations and “extremist students across the country (who) have signed letters of Pro-Hamas support and gotten their post-graduation offers of employment rescinded.”

Respondents are asked what they think about said employment offers being pulled, and get a binary choice: “I completely agree” and “I think that’s inappropriate.”

DeSantis has worked regular attacks on “pro-Hamas” demonstrators into his road show for weeks.

In New Hampshire on Tuesday, the Governor said the “bozos” wanted a “second Holocaust,” but suggested they were too dumb to realize that’s what they were calling for.

Also on Tuesday, he took action to terminate student chapters at Florida universities that allegedly support “Hamas terrorism.”

During an interview with The Blaze, DeSantis suggested that student protests against Israel’s retaliation after the Hamas attacks merit cutting off federal funding for Harvard.

“We should not be pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into places like Harvard if they’re producing students that are basically aligning with Hamas terrorists,” he said.

On Newsmax earlier this month, he wondered why those protesters are in the United States at all, saying that the demonstrations are “almost like they’re just pouring salt in the wounds by going out there and celebrating the atrocities.”

“There’s a sickness in our society when you have Harvard students signing these letters praising Hamas. And I just wonder, it’s like, why are you even in this country if that’s your belief on some of that stuff?”

      Good afternoon respondants,
      You are all just a little sideways on the truth and wisdom which “The Ronald” is trying share in order to save you one and all from the firey sulpher stink of eternal damnation.
      Its a blessing that you have me, Earl Pitts American to ‘splain it all to you by kinda sorta dumbing it down …. so here ‘ya go – “The Ronald’s” sage words of wisdom translated into Dook 4 Brains Leftist “speak”
      HERE YA GO:
      What he wanted y’all to take away from his text is this – It matters not if you are a HAMAS sinner chopping off babies heads … or a Groomer sinner chopping off little school boy’s weiners and encouraging increadably grotesque mutilation of little school girl’s coochies.
      NO IT MATTERS NOT – SIN IS SIN:
      On your “judgement day” you Groomers and HAMAS both will be in the exact same processing line outside the gates of HEII. “The Ronald” in his wisdom, is trying to let you know that there is just one HEII. There is not a real bad HEII for HAMAS along with a HEII LIGHT for you Groomers.
      Basically Desantis is trying to help y’all to “TURN BEFORE YOU BURN”.
      Rather than 8itching and moaning about “The Ronald” y’all should fall to your knees and thank him for careing enough about you wayward lefty’s to save you from the Fires Of HEII.
      You lefty’s are welcome and I hope some fine day real soon you all will experiance the sweet joy of being able to Relax Your Sphincters.

    The danger of listening to a Ron DeSantis narrative is the fact that most of his listeners actually believe that there is only one side to every story.

    Let’s see, DeSantis says stop federal funds to Harvard because a group of students there — legal adults — are exercising their First Amendment right to speak their minds. Also, watch out for first grade teachers (presumably public school first grade teachers) because — trust him — he has “seen” them “pushing radical gender ideology down the throats of first graders.”
    So, DeSantis says First Amendment rights extend only to people who say things he approves of, and, regarding teachers, he is an outright liar.
    I guess he figures if Trump could lie and flout the Constitution and be President, there’s no reason he can’t do the same. I’m sure his Neo-Nazi supporters here in Florida figure the same.

    What so many people – possibly including DeSantis – don’t realize is that SJIP and similar “student” organizations were originally “seeded” (started) by professional and amateur Islamic activist organizers, funded directly and indirectly by Hamas and front organizations in the US and elsewhere. Prior to those individuals starting their work – being permitted to carry on their organizing activities on US college and university campuses virtually UNIMPEDED BY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS – no such organizations existed and school campuses were pretty much free from the antisemitic, religion-based acrimony that now dominates headlines everywhere. The whole shtick was organized by non-student Islamists.

      Looks like SteveHC has spent too much time listening to War Room — where speech is free only to the converted.

    Undoubtedĺy true of most of the evangelical and rightwing groups as well. Turning Point for recent example.

      People used to point out that major Soviet youth organizations were all run by middle-age (or older) party hacks.

    Has an elementary school teacher in Florida teaching gender ideology been uncovered yet?

      None …. I know for sure because if they ever did find even one doing anything remotely close …. they would be publicly parading her case 24/7 in the media complete with exaggeration and unfounded innuendo to make their transgression seem 1000 times worse than it actually was. The GOP has no record or solutions to run on … not any that any sane person would want anyway. So all they can do is create scary boogie men and women to make their feeble minded followers so afraid that they feel they have no choice but to vote for them.

      They ban books or anyone that is a hair outside what they consider normal to “protect” children from content no child saw as sexual until they labeled it so. Completely ignoring that practically every child and their best friend is walking around with devices that can pump gigabytes of xxx videos and images into their young minds that would make any book they ban read like the Bible …. in today’s world it is beyond never to believe that you can 100% “protect” any child from their friends phones and they know this …. once again they are simply peddling fear to manipulate and “otherize” anyone that is different…. just to get votes.

    Stop NASA astrophysics grants to a math professor for space-probe navgation because a few students don’t hate Palestinians.
