Basically, DeSantis wants to use $116 million in coronavirus funds for promoting his brand of a right wing civics agenda on grades K-12 in our public schools.

What is Critical Race Theory? :

Critical race theory is a practice. It's an approach to grappling with a history of White supremacy that rejects the belief that what's in the past is in the past, and that the laws and systems that grow from that past are detached from it," said Kimberlé Crenshaw, a founding critical race theorist and a law professor at UCLA and Columbia universities.

DeSantis: “Critical Race Theory is basically teaching people to hate our country, hate each other. It’s divisive and it’s basically an identity politics version of Marxism,”...
He said schools have become “indoctrination factories” and academics “engage in politicized academic fads with courses that reflect ideology not facts.”
