Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis said on May 21 that he opposes teaching critical race theory being taught in the state’s public schools, claiming that the ideas pushed by its advocates are “based on false history” and are “teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other.”
DeSantis made the remarks at a May 21 press conference in Pensacola, where he announced the signing of a bill temporarily establishing several statewide tax-free periods on items like storm supplies and back-to-school products.
