Florida Board of Education passes rule banning critical race theory in classrooms

Florida state board of education unanimously votes to ban teaching ideas related to critical race theory.

Audience members chant "Allow teachers to teach the truth" during public comments on Florida's plans to ban the teaching of critical race theory in public schools in Jacksonville on Thursday.

DeSantis added:"I think it's going to cause a lot of divisions. I think it'll cause people to think of themselves more as a member of a particular race based on skin color, rather than based on the content of their character and based on their hard work and what they're trying to accomplish in life."

"If giving students a good education is the goal, the rule could be amended to say in part: 'Instruction on the required topics must be factual and objective, and may not suppress or distort significant historical events, such as the Holocaust, slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow,'" he said.
