Desantis has been touring Florida with his robust education agenda, including rejecting COVID school closures, curriculum transparency, barring “woke” ideology and indoctrination, supporting civics and financial literacy education, veterans in the classroom, a historic expansion of school choice, and increased teacher pay. Florida is ranked among the top states for education.
DeSantis charters a unique path in the political world by steering the non-partisan school board races, generally ignored by top-of-the-ticket candidates. America’s most popular governor has an aptitude for trendsetting and this one is likely to get traction with Republican leaders in other states. At an “Education Agenda Tour” stop in Sarasota Monday, he told the crowd, “If I could have a conservative majority on every school board in the country, we would be in such good shape.”
