Now that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has banned Critical Race Theory from public schools, his critics are on notice that Florida’s students will learn “historical fact,” not “non-empirical ideology.”

“Gov. DeSantis’ critics often claim that his initiative would stop students from learning about racial discrimination in our state’s history,” Executive Office of the Governor Press Secretary Christina Pushaw told The Epoch Times. “Their claim is false. For illustration, last year, Gov. DeSantis signed legislation to include the 1920 Ocoee Election Day Riots in required instruction on African American history in Florida schools.”
