We need education in this country; not indoctrination
The decline in education is one of the major reasons why our country is in decline. We need education in this country, not indoctrination in this country. We have to make sure that what our schools are doing is focusing on solid academics. In Florida,
we eliminated Critical Race Theory from our K through 12 schools. We eliminated gender ideology from our K through 12 schools. We have elevated the importance of American civics and teaching our kids about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Critical Race Theory increases racial tensions in America
The Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) cults are increasing--not decreasing--racial tensions in America. CRT and DEI spread the lie that racism is ingrained in every aspect of American society and that our institutions and
millions of Americans are inherently racist. CRT and DEI do not belong in any government institution, least of all the United States Armed Forces. And they do not belong in any corporation that receives large government contracts.

Cease promoting gender transitioning for people of all ages
Trump also said he would fight in the "battle to retake our schools" and stop funding schools that promote critical race theory and "transgender ideology." He said he would ask Congress to send him a bill banning gender-affirming care for minors
and "cease the promotion" of gender transitioning for people of all ages, and would ban transgender women from competing in women's sports. "The left-wing gender lunacy being pushed on our children is an act of child abuse," Trump said.

Teach true, honest history not radical Critical Race Theory
We have to make sure our children know America's promise. We have to teach them the true, honest history of our country. In state after state children are being exposed to radical political ideologies like Critical Race Theory. Our state supports
opportunity for all. We don't teach our children to be divisive and organize them into separate groups based on skin color. I am bringing legislation this year to enshrine these values and protect our students from hatred and division.

No money for critical race theory & radical gender ideology
It's time for us to fight back. Not a single additional dollar for universities--in Ohio or out--that teach critical race theory or radical gender ideology. We need to force our schools to give an honest, patriotic account of American history.
And we must give parents resources to control their kids' education--whether they choose a traditional public school, a charter school, a religious school, or a home school.

Make sure people are not supporting critical race theory
HANNITY: No matter how many times you've answered about are you considering a run for the presidency in 2024, they still keep asking you. DESANTIS: Yeah, I'm not considering anything beyond doing my job. I'm going to be running for re-election next
year, and we're also working on a lot of things beyond the governor's race. We want to make sure people are not supporting critical race theory, making sure that, you know, parents have the ability to send their kid to school the way they want to.

Signed 1776 Pledge; country does not have racism in its DNA
I was the very first candidate in this entire country to sign on to the 1776 Pledge, recognizing that we needed to teach our kids true honest history. That the 1619 Project, critical race theory, is hate, division, and it's not American. It's offensive.
We do not have racism in our DNA in this country. We love each other, and everybody deserves to be treated equally. Everyone who's running for office needs to embrace our honest history of America and America that was formed for freedom.

We will completely defund and bar critical race theory
These people are sick. We will completely defund and bar critical race theory. 1776, not 1619, if you don't mind. And if government run schools are going to teach children to hate their country, we will demand school choice that we already have.
If you listen to the media or watch the evening newscast, our country has really gone bad. All we talk about is race. That's all they talk about. Race. The whole show: race, race. We don't talk about our country being great anymore.

Generals should read less about white rage, whatever that is
He lashed out at Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for defending the study of critical race theory. "I personally would like American generals to read less about 'white rage' (whatever that is) and more about 'not losing
wars,'" he wrote. He railed against critical race theory, the academic term that's meant to recognize how systemic racism is inherent in American life and that the political right has turned into a signature issue.
