APPARENTLY, THE TRUTH HURTS FLORIDA CIVICS INITIATIVE TELLS THE TRUTH
I wrote recently about Florida’s new emphasis on civic education in public schools. Gov. Ron DeSantis has led the Sunshine State to put real money behind educating both teachers and students about American government and history. This includes funding earmarked for teacher training and for teachers themselves. Still, some people don’t like it.
MSNBC, Vanity Fair, and the Miami Times all ran stories focused on a handful of teachers who say Florida’s changes will interfere with their ability to teach students that the American Founders believed slavery was good and wanted a strict separation of church and state. In other words, a group of teachers who want to lie to students in order to alienate them from their country.
