De-Educate DeSantis

 DeSantis, Yale University 2001, Harvard Law School 2005 

Part of a DeSantis-led civics initiative that has concerned several educators about an infusion of Christianity and conservative ideologies.

In April, the Florida Department of Education made national headlines for its decision to reject dozens of math textbooks because they included references to critical race theory and other “prohibited topics” and “unsolicited strategies,” officials said at the time.

DeSantis has cozied up with Hillsdale College (a conservative Michigan college/ who has invited Clarence Thomas as a graduation speaker,  and whose fan club and supporters include President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and former U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy Devos. Hillsdale College’s publications include articles with titles, like “The January 6 Insurrection Hoax,” “The Disaster at Our Southern Border,” “Gender Ideology Run Amok.” “Critical Race Theory: What it is and How to Fight it,” and “Who is in Control? The need to Rein in Big Tech.”

 

Imagine how DeSantis would not have been accepted to Yale University or Harvard Law School had he been enrolled in the current catastrophe which has become the education low standards for Florida. But the thing is, DeSantis had the benefit of a better education based on facts knowledge, and qualified Professional Educators.

 

Meanwhile, Madison and Mamie DeSantis are enrolled in Maclay School: Maclay School is a private school located on about 100 acres of land in Tallahassee, Florida, about 10 miles north of the Florida State Capitol. The school opened in 1968 as a segregation academy founded by a group of white parents in response to the federally mandated racial integration of Leon County Schools. Wikipedia. I have to wonder if they will lack the knowledge of the facts of American History, Mathematics, and Civics keeping them from ever passing any entrance exams to universities like Harvard and Yale!
