The new law, which goes into effect July 1, says instruction in teacher training programs cannot 'distort significant historical events.'

by KRISTINA WATROBSKI | Crisis in the ClassroomFILE - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis addresses a crowd on Friday, April 22, 2022. An impending Florida law will restrict the education included in teacher training programs , a move seen as a way to keep political ideologies out of classrooms.

Additionally, any related instruction cannot "distort significant historical events" and must allow aspiring educators to "think critically," according to the legislation. The law will go into effect July 1 and impact K-12 officials, as well as those looking to work in postsecondary institutions. Rep. Berny Jacques, R-Seminole, one of the legislation's sponsors, celebrated the signing alongside Gov. DeSantis, calling topics like DEI and critical race theory "simply trash."
