Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday said Critical Race Theory (CRT) and \u201cwoke\u201d culture are \u201cdenigrating\u201d the country and proving to be unpopular, noting that those promoting such narratives are attempting to distract the American people from the issues at hand as the midterm elections approach.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida, where he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/videos\/2117426098416270\/\">announced<\/a> an $89 million investment in workforce education and training initiatives, DeSantis briefly took aim at the left\u2019s attempts to distract the American people from President Biden\u2019s failed policies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at what CRT and \u2018woke\u2019 is doing, it is pitting people against each other based on race, which is wrong. It\u2019s also denigrating our country, and so it\u2019s been very unpopular wherever it\u2019s been tried,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so we want to make sure people can go to school without being scapegoated or without being targeted, and I think that\u2019s where the vast, vast majority of people want to be,\u201d he said, noting that it is \u201ctelling\u201d that leftists often need to manufacture fake narratives, which he said shows they do not have policies they can \u201cput up that are going to be very effective.\u201d Many of them, he continued, support policies advanced by Biden, which have wreaked havoc on family budgets as they face inflation and major supply chain disruptions. And these people, he continued, are trying to distract the American people before the midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s almost like the Chewbacca defense \u2014 try to get people diverted from what the true issues are by manufacturing things. It doesn\u2019t work. We all know that. They\u2019ve been doing that to me for years, so we\u2019re just going to keep putting wins on the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong><em>WATCH:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019s remarks on the ramifications of \u201cwoke\u201d culture come as several school districts across the country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blacklivesmatteratschool.com\/starter-kit.html\">embrace<\/a> the&nbsp;Black Lives Matter school starter kit, which demands the \u201cdisruption of Western nuclear family dynamics\u201d while promoting \u201cglobalism\u201d and \u201ctransgender affirming\u201d commitments.<\/p>\n<p>The controversial kit includes a schedule for educators, detailing how to incorporate BLM\u2019s 13 \u201cguiding principles\u201d in their teaching the first week of February, which they call: \u201cBLM at School Week of Action.\u201d&nbsp;Those principles include \u201cglobalism,\u201d which it describes as \u201cour ability to see how we are impacted or privileged within the Black global family that exists across the world in different regions.\u201d The guiding principles also detail commitment to both transgender and queer \u201caffirming,\u201d seeking to create a \u201cnetwork\u201d where \u201cheteronormative thinking no longer exists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another of the guiding principles focuses on black families, which it describes as creating a space \u201cfree from patriarchal practices.\u201d Building on that, BLM devotes a principle to the idea of \u201cblack villages,\u201d describing the concept as the \u201cdisruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the \u2018collective village\u2019 that takes care of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
