Ron DeSantis continues to show the Left that he meant business when he said, “Florida is where woke goes to die.”
Higher education in Florida is now free of the woke ideology.
And Ron DeSantis just hit Democrats with a brutal truth about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs.
DeSantis vs. Wokeism
Over the years, left-wing activists have seized control of America’s educational system and turned the classrooms into woke indoctrination camps.
School closures during the lockdowns exposed many parents to the fact that their children were being brainwashed with Critical Race Theory and the Left’s gender ideology each day at school.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis showed Republicans that it was possible to fight back and win battles in the culture war against the woke Left.
After he rejected masks and vaccine mandates, DeSantis went on the offensive against the woke Left by banning biological males from competing in women’s sports and prohibiting the teaching of gender and sex to young children in elementary school.
DeSantis also banned teaching woke courses like Critical Race Theory in Florida.
But the Governor also took aim at the woke ideology in higher education last year when Florida became the first state in the country to eliminate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in the state’s public universities.
The law prohibits taxpayer funding of activities promoting DEI or any other type of “political or social activism.”
Dozens of DEI staff were recently terminated from several universities in Florida.
“Last week, the University of Florida announced that 13 full-time Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) positions had been eliminated, and 15 faculty members had their administrative appointments terminated,” The Federalist reported. “Similar announcements came from Florida International University and the University of North Florida,” the report continued. “New College and University of South Florida dismantled DEI offices earlier.”
Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination
DeSantis recently appeared for an interview on Newsmax after the University of Florida firings sent the Left into a fit of rage.
“We wanna treat people as individuals in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said. “We don’t wanna divvy up people based on race and ethnicity, and we certainly don’t want to discriminate against people.”
The Governor refused to back down and instead dropped a truth bomb about DEI.
“They say it’s ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,’” DeSantis said. “In practice, it has been ‘Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination.’”
“That has no place in American society, and it certainly doesn’t have a place in our publicly funded universities,” he concluded.
