Ron DeSantis vows to get 'political apparatus involved' in Florida school board races

Gov. Ron DeSantis returned to the Fox News Channel Saturday night in a segment taped the evening before, but with a message relevant to the political cycle to come.

On “Unfiltered with Dan Bongino,” DeSantis vowed to turn his “political apparatus” against Republican school board candidates who oppose his educational reforms.

“We’re not going to support any Republican candidate for school board who supports Critical Race Theory in all 67 counties or supports mandatory masking of school children,” DeSantis told Bongino.

School board races in Florida are non-partisan.

“Local elections matter. We are going to get the Florida political apparatus involved so we can make sure there’s not a single school board member who supports Critical Race Theory,” DeSantis added.

To interfere in local elections? He is just as bad as his Idol. Does he want us to just give him the power to appoint our school board members so he gets his way? Heaven forbid that people would teach their children true history!

Silly me? I recently remember reading where the governor of South Dakota is also demanding that the 1619 project, Etc. Dare not be taught in their schools.
