Ron DeSantis

Giving parents a private right of action to be able to enforce the prohibition on CRT.

I have asked my staff to look into the idea.

DeSantis has been attacking Americans` First Amendment freedoms with his government power.

We were the first big state to legislate against big tech censorship because they want to silence us. You have to have protection for the First Amendment rights of people. A free society requires the ability to have robust discussions…

We don't need top-down Federal mandates. States, who have primary authority over elections, are in the best position to understand their voter needs and how to address them.

We hear disinformation from those on the left and the Biden administration constantly, that States with new election-integrity laws are suppressing voters.

Laws like H.R. 1 would have made it harder for Florida and Georgia to implement the necessary safeguards that have ultimately restored voter confidence while also increasing participation.

The fact is federalism works. We don't need to nationalize our elections and unconstitutionally take power away from States as those who support H.R. 1 propose.

Now I really believe had Florida not led the way, this country could look like Canada.

Usually when I -- when I come, I don`t come empty-handed I try to bring stuff. Today is for Franklin County, it`s kind of like -- uh -- Christmas in April, Desanta Claus coming to town.

A judge has ruled Florida`s new congressional map drawn by Governor DeSantis as unconstitutional.

Why would you make a truck driver or a waitress or a construction worker pay off the debt for somebody that did a PhD program in gender studies?

They pledged themselves to mobilize their considerable corporate resources out of the coffers of this Burbank, California based corporation to overturn the rights of parents in the state of Florida to effectively commandeer our democratic…

I don`t think Walt would appreciate what`s going on in this company right now. I`m sorry.

DeSantis thought he was getting in a quick jab at Disney. But now it looks like either he loses that attempt or he has to raise taxes to fund this anti-free speech agenda.

No governor in history prior Ron DeSantis, has done anything to increase anyone`s property taxes by 25 percent.

You`re a corporation based in Burbank, California, and you`re going to marshal your economic might to attack the parents of my state? We view that as a provocation, and we`re going to fight back against that.

They`re going to pay more taxes as a result of it.

together, we have made Florida the freest state in these United States.

I am trying to turn Florida into what he calls, the freest state.

It is really problematic that when a company had been so, so ominous with parents of young children, they have come out against the parents` rights bill. I have not comfortable having that type of agenda get special treatment in my state…

We`re here today because we believe in education, not indoctrination. Those standards do not allow pernicious ideologies like critical race theory to be taught in our K. through 12 schools.

We don`t want things like math to have, you know, some of these other concepts introduced.

Math is about getting the right answer. And we want kids to learn to think so they get the right answer. It`s not about how you feel about the problem or to introduce some of these other things. It`s there`s a right answer and there`s a…

Now, of course, they did not provide any actual examples of what that could mean in a math textbook.
