September 27, 2023

Simi Valley, Calif. – During the second Republican presidential primary debate tonight, Ron DeSantis said:

"First of all, a hoax that was perpetrated by Kamala Harris. We are not going to be doing that. Second of all, that was written by descendants of slaves. These are great black history scholars. So we need to stop playing these games. Here's the deal: Our country's education system is in decline because it's focused on indoctrination, denying parents' rights. Florida represents the revival of American education. We're ranked number one in the nation in education by US News and World Report. My wife and I, we have a six, five and three year old. This is personal to us. We didn't just talk about universal school choice. We enacted universal school choice. We didn't just talk about Parents' Bill of Rights. We enacted the Parents' Bill of Rights. We eliminated Critical Race Theory, and we now have American civics and the Constitution in our schools in a really big way - just like President Reagan ask for in his farewell address back in 1989. Florida is showing how it's done. We're standing with parents and our kids are benefiting."
