DeSantis: Critical Race Theory Teaches ‘Kids To Hate This Country’; Pushes Legislative Proposal To Strengthen Enforcement Against It

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) – When Florida lawmakers start the annual 60-day legislative session  on Tuesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis will be pushing an agenda which includes cementing in law a prohibition on teaching critical race theory in Florida classrooms.

During a nationally televised interview on Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin,” which aired Sunday night, DeSantis said those in favor of critical race theory “want kids to hate this country. They want them to reject our founding, our institutions, and they want to replace that with their leftist ideology, which would obviously be disastrous for this country’s future,” he told host Mark Levin.
