In Florida, education will always be focused on academic excellence, not the indoctrination of our children with woke ideologies.
Children should not serve as political activists – let kids be kids.
Governor DeSantis has drawn a firm line in the sand when it comes to Florida’s children, and the proof is in the pudding: We lead the nation in education!
Last year, Governor DeSantis signed legislation to protect parental rights, ensure curriculum and library material transparency, and school board accountability. Thanks to the Governor's bold leadership, Florida has provided historic levels of visibility for parents and solidified Florida’s commitment to ensuring that content available in our schools is age appropriate.
Now, this year, legacy media is relentlessly pushing false narratives about Governor DeSantis banning books.
They couldn’t be more wrong, so let’s get into the facts...
...First, explicit books that show pornography, teach kids how to upload nude photos, and introduce sexual orientation were on Florida schoolroom shelves for young children to read.
These same books were brought up in local school board meetings where parents refused to discuss or even look at the illustrations within the pages because they were not appropriate for public conversations.
...Then, the Left caught wind of the Governor’s action to take these books out of school libraries. They generated this farcical narrative that Governor DeSantis had banned all books from classrooms and schools were filled with empty library shelves.
...John, the hoax is finally over. Governor DeSantis addressed legacy media allegations and held a press conference to expose the truth.
The event was streamed through standard procedures: local news channels and Twitter. When the press conference began, the Governor played a 5-minute video showing the contents of the inappropriate books found in Florida schools to expose the lies about book banning peddled by the mainstream media. In an example of blatant hypocrisy, the live streams were cut because the contents contained “potentially sensitive content.”
If legacy media is afraid to air this material, why on earth should school-aged children have it shoved in their faces?
...Now, the public has finally been exposed to the truth thanks to Governor DeSantis’ leadership: Classrooms around America are pushing Leftist agendas with pornographic picture books, and the Governor is taking swift action to save Florida schools and children by removing these inappropriate books once and for all.
Our children are not chess pieces for the woke mob’s ideological indoctrination.
Our children are not political activists.
Let our children be children.
If you stand with Governor DeSantis and his actions to make sure that Florida education will always be focused on academic excellence, not the indoctrination of our children with woke ideologies, add your name to show your support!
