JOHN,

Ever since he first took office, Ron DeSantis has been on a mission to dismantle Florida’s education system. And now we can see that it’s working.

His administration is purging courses from public universities, removing critical subjects like Anthropology of Race & Ethnicity and Sociology of Gender, all in the name of combating so-called “woke ideologies.” These policies are not just cutting classes; they’re cutting students off from a well-rounded education, academic freedom, and the ability to understand and engage with the complex issues of our time.

This overreach is an unprecedented attack on Florida’s education system. Faculty, students, and experts are sounding the alarm that DeSantis’ policies could lead to faculty losing jobs, programs being shut down, and students being deprived of crucial opportunities for learning. The Board of Governors, packed with DeSantis appointees, is now deciding which courses should stay and which should go—completely bypassing the universities themselves.

But we’ve only got a few more hours. Will you rush a $5 donation to Educated We Stand to help us fight back?

Educated We Stand is dedicated to electing school board candidates who will defend public education, academic freedom, and the right of every student to learn in an environment free of political extremism. School boards are on the front lines of this fight, and we need strong leaders who will push back against political interference and protect the integrity of our education system.

But we need your help to make that happen, JOHN.

Can you chip in $25, $50, or whatever you can to support our efforts to elect school board candidates who will stand up for Florida’s students and teachers?
