It\u2019s not something that\u2019s taught in the state of Florida. But we need to let our teachers do their jobs and that\u2019s teach. This governor and this Board of Education who (sic) is, again, appointed solely by Republican governors like Ron DeSantis and the previous governor as well, it is not their job to tell our teachers how to \u2014 sure, there\u2019s parameters (and) policies, but this is a time when they have overstepped once again, government is stepping in to the job of educating, and not the teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is, again, a bogeyman the Governor is pushing out there,\u201d she repeated. \u201cThis thought that doesn\u2019t exist, but just again, to put fear into the people\u2019s minds. He did it intentionally, not because there\u2019s a worry about something like this, but to create a culture war in our state. And I know people in our state are smarter than this and aren\u2019t going to fall for this political rhetoric that is being spewed by Ron DeSantis and the Republican Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican Governors\u2019 Association spokesperson Joanna Rodriguez blasted Fried, asserting, \u201cNikki Fried\u2019s accusations against the Governor aren\u2019t just desperate, they\u2019re dangerous. Fried has shown repeatedly that she\u2019s incapable of being truthful about pretty much anything. Her resorting to lies and malicious manipulations on her own liberal biography and views on critical race theory are just more of the same,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/floridapolitics.com\/archives\/435657-crt-fried-desantis-war\/?utm_source=dlvr.it&#038;utm_medium=twitter\">Florida Politics<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the Board of Education\u2019s vote, DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gov-ron-desantis-promises-to-oppose-any-fl-school-board-candidates-who-support-critical-race-theory\">had said bluntly<\/a>, \u201cNext week, I have my Commissioner of Education going to the Board of Education banning it, banning any departure from accurate history and following our standards. This is something we\u2019ve got to stay on the forefront of. \u201cWe\u2019re also \u2026 not going to support any Republican candidate for school board who supports critical race theory in all 67 counties or supports mandatory masking of schoolchildren. \u2026 We are going to get the Florida political apparatus involved so we can make sure there\u2019s not a single school board member, Republican, whoever indulges critical race theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis had also said previously, \u201cSome of the nonsense that you see in some of these places around the country, I mean, they will attack cops with this type of ideology in schools, and meanwhile, they have like 87% of the kids that aren\u2019t even literate in some of these schools. So it shows you they\u2019re not trying to educate; they\u2019re trying to indoctrinate. We\u2019re not going to let that come to Florida. And so I\u2019m glad that they acted. I think it\u2019s the right thing to do. We\u2019re going to make sure that we\u2019re providing access to education, but solid education, free of some of this ideology that people are trying to shove down everybody\u2019s throats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
