Opinion | Ron DeSantis: The nation’s top education change agent WashTimesOpEd
For the Sunshine State’s chief executive, this isn’t just rhetoric. Under Mr. DeSantis’ leadership, Florida has become a standout in championing citizens over corporations, character over cultural contagions, and civics over critical race theory.
Resting on his laurels would have been easy, but that’s not Mr. DeSantis’ style. Instead, in his 2022 reelection bid, the governor committed to making school choice universal in Florida. The measure was also the first step toward deregulating public schools. It provides model legislation that other states should follow to remove obstacles in improving their educational performance.
In addition, in K-12 classrooms, Mr. DeSantis has eliminated the promotion of CRT and ensured that students are taught civics and about the Constitution. Mr. DeSantis is safeguarding children from pornography. For example, House Bill 1069 will require books with pornographic material or books that describe or depict sexual activity to be removed within five days. Mr. DeSantis is also a protector of girls’ and women’s sports. On June 1, 2021, Mr. DeSantis signed a “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” which bans biological males from playing on female athletic teams.
