while slamming “DeSantis and other GOP operatives,” although the candidate endorsed by the Republican governor also denounced the billboard, which was paid for by Sarasota County-based political action committee ABCD.from the DeSantis campaign in July for using a picture of DeSantis in an ad when the governor already endorsed her opponent.
Families protest any potential mask mandates before the Hillsborough County School Board meeting held at the district office on July 27, 2021, in Tampa, Fla. | Octavio Jones/Getty Images Wright says she wants to be an advocate for parents on the school board and aligns with the Republican governor on key issues conservatives are pushing for in 2022. She’s against gender orientation and sexual identity being brought into the classroom and lessons that “focus on one race as an oppressor and one race as an oppressed,” which the GOP has branded as vestiges of “critical race theory.”
Wright, for example, is leading the incumbent Belford by raising $41,565 compared to $40,120. Four years ago, Belford’s campaign raised $18,709 to defeat an opponent who raised $28,902.
This is peak 'Washington Politician'. Using 'endorsements' to get compliant people into positions of power.
Thus asshole is dangerous, not only as an individual, but the rethuglican legislature supports his every whim! Spineless!
cmerfy Ron DeSantis is proof that sometimes Mother Nature really FU%KS-UP and gives birth to 'devils with deviant genes'‼️
In short: Sowing the Seeds of Discontent, and hoping for a bountiful crop of Authoritarians, Theocrats, and Totalitarians. All not in that order.

We don't need this man running/ruining Florida and certainly not running this country. Trump's blood runs through this man's veins. He can't shape the image that he's not like Trump. There is NO escaping that he has been a Trump lap dog. Just another wanna be dictator!
DeSantis is an anti-American disgrace And things will not end well for him
Only if Florida voters let him..
Florida doesn't need teachers .Professor Santos will be running his redacted school system. They don't need doctors. He has that covered to.
'education system' lol
What a puke
Non-partisan ☑️School Board & ☑️Judicial races are decided on the August 23 Primary Ballot. Candidates are not identified by party affiliation on the ballot. Be sure to vote for our Democratic incumbents; the Republicans are openly attacking them. VoteBlueToSaveOurKids
And ruin the public school system in FLA, gotta keep your base dumb or they’ll learn it’s better to vote against you
Florida love Ron DeSantis
Trump 2.0.
Good. This garbage needs to go-
Many conservative Italian-Americans like DeSantis have come a long way from being lynched by white mobs in Louisiana to surviving the Immigration Act of 1924 which was designed to keep them out of the USA. Now that they have become accepted as 'white people' turn bigot in thanks.
Eventually Florida will have such a crushingly bad education system that modern industry will have no skilled worker base. Companies won’t locate there and existing businesses will relocate to states with an educated population. But hey at least no CRT
Florida bans Pulitzer Prize winning novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” from schools. Has anyone not watched the highly acclaimed movie w/ Gregory Peck? What made America GREAT. When young, this book was on our required reading list and triggered my interest in social equity, and law.
Keeping them dumb in Florida is literally part of the plan. There’s a reason they spend so much time hating on higher education.
Not called 'Floriduh' for nothing.
In the meantime, Florida cant hire teachers.
Biden's never gone after any America making less than $400K. The 87K IRS agents are needed for Trump's new less taxed Americans who know how to hide money and have idiots go to jail for them.
Well as long as DeSantis does not attempt to indoctrinate future voters, the way HE accuses the 'Liberal' education system to do.
This guy is Trump 2.0 on steroids....
DeSantis declares that 'you're' is the same as 'your', pleasing yet confusing his base.
LOL he's already reshaped it. There's a 9000 teacher shortage in FL from DeSantis & FL GOP attacks on education. So desperate for teachers now the GOP legislature is allowing unqualified Veterans to teach in classrooms and want cops & fireman next year. Florida
Excellent
He's unleashing the Qarens for Book Banning.
Listen up white folks and be informed ' no matter how uncomfortable you get by the true American history it must be taught in our schools and colleges if America is a real true free country with a constitution that must be followed!
Good. Business as usual isn't working.
To our detriment
School subjects have been improved in Florida over the last year. Looking at statistics across our country parents should focus on reading, writing and arithmetic. History should be taught as factual not the political twist. Subjects should be age appropriate.
Listen if America is really the land of the 'FREE' in supposedly in a free country' then white folks must allow the facts of America true history to be teached in our schools and colleges and not lies' as Columbus discovered America!
This is great! Thank you DeSantis 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥳
Why do you “journalists” always try to normalize this kind of crap? Write an oped on that. 🤔
We spend more per student on k-12 education than any nation on the planet and our government run schools still suck.
Where is getting all this money for these trips? What is the source of the $? Which Superpacts?
He wants to mold it into his fascist vision.
If there’s a better way to stop groomers, I’m all ears.
DeSantis is attempting an authoritarian takeover* Fixed it for you
That’s certainly one way to phrase it 🙃
