School board races in Florida are nominally nonpartisan, but the Republican governor jumped into the fray and endorsed 30 candidates whom he said would carry conservative values into local districts. Moms for Liberty, a conservative parent group with similar goals, made an overlapping set of endorsements as well. In response, Florida Democrats and teachers unions endorsed some candidates on the other side, turning school board races in some communities into de facto partisan political contests.
In Sarasota County, on Florida’s Gulf Coast, three DeSantis-backed candidates won, giving conservatives a 4-1 majority on the school board, which moved quickly to fire Superintendent Brennan Asplen without cause.Members gave few hints about why, though activists with the local Moms for Liberty group had raised questions about the district’s equity committee and leveled vague charges that Asplen was a tool of the political left.
“You have to get the politics out of this school district. You have to,” he said. “I spend more time on politics and nonsense than anything else … It needs to end.”

Grooming kids for hate and bigotry.
Don’t these darn Republicans realize that it is more important to invite transgender strippers to classrooms than it is to teach third graders math, science, reading, and history? What’s this country coming to?
Good for him. Protect children from not only pedophiles, but teachers who want to sexualize them at all costs.
When did protecting 3 year olds from pedophile groomers become a “ war on culture “?
Notice in the photo that everyone surrounding DeSantis is white. The photo literally speaks for itself for his agenda. A few of his followers tried to challenge me on my comments about him but his actions speak just as loud as his words.
The racist and fascist regime of DeSantis unfolds completely. He will do the same to this nation that he is doing in Florida if he is elected in 2024. He is far worse than Trump and just to think that Trump has called for the end of the Constitution because of his loss in 2020.
Thank God !!!
So weird he is only 44. I thought he was much older.
He really is Sanctimonious! Anybody who says he's the chosen one on the eighth day has to be.
Maybe the left will finally understand that the parents are in charge the schools do what they are told
Well, people with similar values should proceed this way
Good news? You can’t legislate hate. Kids, by in large, are still going to be kind and welcoming to all types of people. Diversity is everywhere. It’s a different world for them, thankfully.
So why in hell would any sane American vote for this guy to be president?
These children look smarter then the politician.
DeFascist
Fantastic.
Great thing …. Go Florida
In case you’re still unclear about what this is all about. (Spoiler alert: It ain’t kids.)
Don't wring your hands. Find out when YOUR next school board election is, and get involved, now, to elect sane candidates.
It’s only a matter of time before Florida does something like not requiring science courses in secondary education (and if given the chance, remove the science portion of the ACT anf SAT exams).
Is he pressing the culture war or responding to the culture war by pushing back in a lot of controversial bs being pushed into the schools in the wake of George Floyd and COVID?
Our next president
Love Ron ❤️🇺🇸
Good job Desantis, you will be a great president
No more grooming!!
Watch this and tell me you support DeSantis. He ENJOYED torturing people. No wonder he is on the wrong side of so many issues. He is a horrible despicable human being and an unconvicted war criminal.
EndRacism
Oh no! Who’s going to groom the kids now?
Is this other wise known as “white-washing”?
Authoritarians love kids in uniforms. I 'lived the dream.'
Excellent! DeSantis 2024!
USA; Blinding the world with DAESH He looted 100 billion dollars of Syria. The US oil theft continues today. Chinese Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Cao Licien; 'The US is smuggling oil and grain from Syria. This resulted in more than $100 billion in lost resources.'
Is there never any news on Democrats or have you all just accepted the fact that you're neither fair or impartial, and don't care who knows it.
These poor children will never experience drag time story hour, self hatred, or preferred pronouns. Instead they will learn STEMs, self worth, and Archaic pronouns.
Good.
Sure seems like TikTok is mixed up in this
More dangerous than the orange grifter by a factor of 100. If he comes to national power in America, democracy will vanish from this entire Earth.
Let the book burning begin,
