There\u2019s something very special about the government in Florida and their focus on delivering traditional values for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Griffin specifically talked about the damage that woke schools had on his children in Chicago and how he has watched his kids flourish in Florida\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy children went to a phenomenal school in Chicago \u2026 but their indoctrination in woke ideology was crushing,\u201d Griffin <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/11\/10\/citadels-ken-griffin-woke-ideology-is-soul-crushing\/\">said<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cThey came home very confused about whether or not the United States was a good country. And they came home confused about what they could or couldn\u2019t say to a student who was Asian or otherwise of color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy son was reprimanded for telling an Asian student he was good at math \u2014 for stereotyping,\u201d Griffin continued. \u201cAnd it\u2019s unbelievable to see how that destroys the minds of children who are otherwise innocent and good and don\u2019t think about these kinds of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatching them transform here in school in Miami is perhaps the greatest gift Miami has given my family,\u201d Griffin added.<\/p>\n<p>Griffin gave DeSantis $5 million for governor\u2019s re-election bid, which DeSantis won in historic fashion. He won the state by nearly 20 points and amassed 1.5 million more votes than his opponent, Democrat Charlie Crist.<\/p>\n<p>When talking about DeSantis, Griffin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/11\/06\/gop-megadonor-desantis-24-ken-griffin-00065274\">praised<\/a> the job that he has done in Florida and said the U.S. would be better off with him as president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to do. It\u2019s a huge personal decision,\u201d he said. \u201cHe has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould I support him? The bigger question is, is he going to run?\u201d Griffin continued. \u201cThat bridge has to be crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Griffin said that his political views have changed over the years due to his philanthropic donations being undermined by poor policies from the political sphere.<\/p>\n<p>Griffin said that while Trump did \u201ca lot of things really well\u201d he also \u201cmissed the mark on some important areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for a litany of reasons, I think it\u2019s time to move on to the next generation,\u201d Griffin said of Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ken Griffin, one of the most powerful political donors in the United States, has indicated in recent days his strong disgust for the woke indoctrination that is taking place in many schools across the country and has flatly said that he will back Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for president if he chooses to run.
