January 18, 2023, 6:01 AMFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis waves after being sworn in for his second term during an inauguration ceremony at the Old Capitol, on Jan. 3, 2023, in Tallahassee, Fla."We must ensure that our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideologies," DeSantis said during his Jan. 3 inauguration speech.
"Why don't you want your base to become educated?" Taylor said. "Why don't you want your citizens to have the best access to the best schools in the world?", the systemic racism via the legal system, have been around for decades, scholars have told ABC News. In response to backlash, his office told ABC News that "the governor, as chief executive of the state, has every right to ask how public dollars are being spent by public state entities, like state colleges and universities. In fact, that is good government."
"Instead, New College has publicly committed to 'eliminating outcome disparities for underrepresented and underserved groups,'" a statement from DeSantis' office read. "When we listen to politicians talk about this subject matter, they seem to use it as a catch-all for any course or topic or subject matter that talks about people who aren't white," Gothard told ABC News. "In higher education, we know that DEI and CRT are much more specific in their usage, but they also can relate to a larger array of issues."
Teaching racism in schools is so wrong. If you want to talk about it do it in your own home privately. NOBODY ELSE IS INTERESTED.
A little fear and trembling is good for you. May wake you up.
Are we supposed to believe ABC didn’t get paid to claim this?
DeSantis is a scary self serving, maniacal man who places his sense of justice and power above all other things.

THIS IS THE WAY HITLER STARTED INNOCENTLY ENOUGH! J
The man’s doing a fine Job,and that’s why people are leaving states like New York and New Jersey to go down there!
We sure hope so
PERHAPS THE 90% marxists IN ACADEMIA ARE AFRAID IT IS GOING TO IMPACT THEIR ABILITY TO INDOCTRINATE
How can people move foward if you keep looking back.
Why can't we have just a little bit of a bent elbow when politicians in America salute Nazi or Lucifer or both. Maybe with the left hand a little lower Fingers apart like a wave Hello🙋🏼♂️🇺🇲
School is about learning and preparing yourself to enter society in a productive manner and with something to offer, it’s not there to pander to gender neutral ideology or socialist ideology it’s a place to learn and be safe
When do the “colored” water fountains get installed?
It's called catering and grifting to the mindset of people who would rather drive a Plymouth than a Tesla.
That is the whole point. A white only history.
“Some educators…” 🙄
The woke policies are harmful.
Good
Get a life and become a real American !
he says you able to be a free thinker and how he will ot let anyone force crap on you and ppl say he hates kids, education and ppl of color. ppl will just say anything they want with o facts
🔴* ...without a doubt, DeSantis is fascist. 🤔°
Would be interesting to see if ABC ever tweets out something like “some faculty members say they embrace anti-woke policies”
Why are some adults so keen on talking about sex with our young children?
Is it me or did you clowns put up a picture in the exact look of a person saluting? This is the low key biased, propaganda filled news you supply and hope to create controversy through the lens of supposed FACIST. The picture helps sell your narrative.
DeSantis is targeting national voters.
More gas-lighting. Nice try disney🤡
So sorry they can't make shit up to further their grievance agenda.
They are correct to fear that.
It should affect the value of an education from a state that prohibits free thinking and broad educational opportunities.
If u don’t like it u can leave, California has plenty of room for liberals, and we need Uhauls in California, most are in Florida & Texas
What about 2 or 3 of them equals some to yall? lol
He is doing the hitler salute.. fits him well!
They are themselves worried about not being able to program the kids to the way of socailism.
Beep boop beep…that’s a lot of robotic woke talk in that tweet 😂
Teachers hate DeSantis.
all the buzzwords coming out game's up now commies communism = death
They won’t be allowed to lower the standards enough to achieve equity? Dang
GovRonDeSantis is a GREAT candidate to a 🇺🇸POTUS 2024👍👍
'some' faculty don't get to run the country and dictate to parents how their children are taught. The vast majority of parents including Democrat parents support Ron DeSantis. Curious how none of them seem to have a voice in mainstream Media news.
I am sure that is true, but on the other hand, the majority of people fear the dangerous woke policies the minority are trying to push on us. They are more dangerous to this country than China and/or Russia.
I bet those faculty members and students are still wearing masks
Are these the same faculty members that ignored state law and forced kids to wear masks?
If DeSantis is so bad why do people keep moving here because of his policies proud to live in Florida
We need a Yale/Harvard lawyer in 2024 to get us back on track
Good.
How do you think the Pro-Woke harmful policies and actions are impacting those group?
This is SO disturbing.DeSantis could potentially be stacking the Supreme Court in the same way.He is far better educated than Trump but could have the same appeal w/MAGA voters. He could literally destroy the USA.God help us all if he’s the R nominee.
In other words schools won't be able to groom children.
They can leave, then.
Woke “inclusionary” policies are code for discrimination against white men…white women to follow.
Some faculty members need to stick to teaching an appropriate curriculum. We all see what a focus on equity brought in Virginia high schools.
The policies have a potential negative impact on school clubs,diversity and equity programs,and courses that explore racial history. Its a dangerous attempt to silence voices and stifle critical thinking. Education should be about expanding minds and understanding, not limit it.
LittleLordFauntLeRon(desantis) WANTS followers to stay asleep. Easier to control. But I hear 'front runner Ron' is having personality issues with the national deep pockets ... as in he has the personality of a dead manatee.
Fake news
Republicans offer fake solutions to imaginary problems. That's literally all they have.
Too bad, instead basing your entire existence on your sexual identity, focus on garnering knowledge
those faculty members should be fired
***some*** faculty members = One faculty member.
Some faculty members and students are afraid of their own shadows
I'm not political but I don't trust the dude. He gives me 🐍 vibes. Probably bc some suspect people cosign him.
Nobody wants wokeness dingbats stop spreading lies
I don't understand the appeal of this man.
