So refreshing to hear that someone is finally speaking up about these inappropriate curricula being submitted for study in our Public Schools - a huge kudos from this Mom of 2 teenage boys. Though I rejected public school for my own children during the insanity of the Covid response, I ache for parents who feel public school is their only option. Seeing this good catch by FDOE, and the Governor backing them up, is encouraging. Maybe we are finally course corrected and I can start to consider State Universities again, in the next few years.

Thank you again, Governor DeSantis and the whole administration who seems to be working tirelessly to keep Florida vibrant and protected. Anyone in an AP program has to see their best interest is the top priority in this.

State governments need to stay out of this. Expose kids to as many ideas as you can, teach them critical thinking skills, and let them make up their own minds.

But, they aren't exposing them to anything but their own woke agenda with the former curriculum. How about exposing all high school students to American history - the good and the bad? From Obama's terms in office he started changing history to reflect his own ideology and Biden is continuing it because of course, he's just serving out Obama's third term. Good for a governor in any state - South Dakota being another one - who has the spine to get the truth out there.

I look at it through the lens of controlling speech, in this case in the classroom. I don't think that's the government's job. I agree kids should be taught the good and the bad of American history. But that's the job of educators and historians, not politicians. What DeSantis is doing is its own form of indoctrination -- a worse form, because it excludes ideas instead of including them.

Every young person in the country is exposed to CRT and other woke cultural agendas every day; it does not have to be in a classroom curricula and taught from a biased point of view n a classroom setting.
