I believe he is serious about his intentions. He is the most popular Republican in the state and the 1776 Project PAC would gladly campaign on behalf of school board candidates who oppose critical race theory and have DeSantis\u2019 endorsement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis and Florida have been at the forefront of states fighting back against critical race theory, which DeSantis has before described as a \u201cvery harmful\u201d form of \u201crace-based\u201d Marxism.

So we\u2019ve banned it in our schools here in Florida.
