The Florida governor’s latest attack comes on the heels of a ban on an AP course in African American studies in high schools
on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law, and championed a “don’t say gay” law prohibiting lessons about sexual orientation or gender identity in the state’s primary schools.
In his new effort to restrict diversity efforts at public colleges, DeSantis pledged at a news conference that critical race theory and diversity, equity and inclusion programs, known as DEI, would get “no funding, and that will wither on the vine”. “Our public schools have been taken over by the radical-left maniacs,” Trump, the only declared candidate in the race so far, said in a video announcing the plan.
A College Board spokesman denied to the New York Times that there had been any political influence on the curriculum and said the changes to the final course predated the rightwing backlash. DeSantis’ current higher education proposal was expected after his administration requested in late December that state colleges submit spending data and other information on programs related to diversity, equity and inclusion, and critical race theory. The governor is also pushing for education administrators to “realign” courses to provide what his administration deems to be historically accurate information.is a way of thinking about America’s history through the lens of racism.
