DeSantis also highlighted \u201ccurriculum transparency\u201d so that parents know about \u201cwhat\u2019s going on inside the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m really, really proud to do that. And I can just say, as the parent of three kids that are age five and under, thank you for letting me and my wife be able to send our kids to kindergarten without them being sexualized,\u201d he said to applause, later adding Florida showed a commitment to \u201ceducation, not to indoctrination.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>More recently, DeSantis has continued to debunk the left\u2019s lies on the legislature\u2019s Parental Rights in Education Bill, which forbids classroom discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity for children in kindergarten through third grade \u2014 a move that has infuriated leftists and woke corporations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe chance that I am going to back down from my commitment to students and back down from my commitment to parent rights simply because of fraudulent media narratives or pressure from woke corporations \u2014 the chances of that are zero,\u201d DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/11\/ron-desantis-disney-opposes-parental-rights-but-lines-pockets-with-communist-party-of-china-money\/\">said<\/a> this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when you have companies that have made a fortune of being family-friendly and catering to families and young kids, you know, they should understand that parents of young kids do not want this injected into their kid\u2019s kindergarten classroom,\u201d he said, adding that parents do not want their young children to be told that they \u201ccan choose an opposite gender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, it remains unclear which of DeSantis\u2019s policies \u2014 championing freedom over vaccine mandates, supporting law and order, and prioritizing parental rights \u2014 Crist specifically believes constitutes \u201cMAGA trolling,\u201d but it is possible he could elaborate further if he wins the Democrat primary, which would place him in a head-t0-head matchup with the popular conservative governor.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, a February poll from the\u00a0University of North Florida (UNF) found DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/24\/poll-ron-desantis-crushes-democrat-opponents-by-over-20-points\/\"><span>crushing<\/span><\/a> both of his principal potential challengers by at least 21 percentage points.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrat Rep.
