._Jahan: I'm pretty sure Jesus would leave DeSantis' texts on read.
Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis wondered in a recent interview whether he could have "been there with Jesus' disciples."DeSantis claimed we “absolutely” need more God in society today. And the governor, who’s made it his mission to essentially rid school lesson plans of references to systemic inequality and discrimination, shared a couple of subjects he likes students to learn about.
“It’s great for us when our kids are coming back from preschool or kindergarten talking about David and Goliath,” DeSantis said. Under the DeSantis administration, discussing Goliath is apparently OK, but discussing Henry Louis Gates Jr. might get you fired. In one of the most awkward moments of the interview, DeSantis described people from the past he wished he could have. The first answer he gave was George Washington. Typical politician’s answer, I'd say. Then he pivoted to a better one, given the setting. “Could I have been there with Jesus’ disciples?” DeSantis wondered.
