However, he also has a backup plan if Congress doesn&#8217;t support his efforts.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his stance on eliminating agencies, DeSantis agreed that the Department of Education, Commerce, Energy, and the IRS should be on the chopping block. He believes that reducing the scope of government through these eliminations would be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>But DeSantis is prepared to take action even if Congress doesn&#8217;t go along with his plans. He intends to use these agencies to push back against woke ideology and leftism infiltrating American institutions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5186176\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/04\/11\/id5186176-education-department-6-1200x675.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n    The Department of Education in Washington on July 22, 2019.

He also emphasized the need for an accreditation system in higher education that doesn&#8217;t promote DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusiveness) and CRT (Critical Race Theory).<\/p>\n<p>As governor, DeSantis has already taken action against these ideologies. He has passed laws to combat their influence in schools and prevent their use as investment criteria for pension funds. Additionally, he has prohibited banks from using them against customers like gun retailers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5353238\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/06\/23\/id5353238-06232023-DSC01737-Ron-DeSantis-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n    Republican presidential candidate and Gov.
