Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, stood firm in his defense of parental rights and hit back at a heckler during a recent event in South Carolina. The governor pushed hard for parental rights legislation, which he signed into law in March 2022, and stated that parents have the fundamental right to direct their children’s upbringing, including their education. This law protects parents’ rights to know about the curriculum and books used in their children’s education and to take action if they contain explicit content that is inappropriate.

Governor DeSantis also pointed out that there is a growing problem of pornography and explicit content in Florida schools, forcing parents to blow the whistle and demand action to protect their children. He expressed his strong opposition to new educational practices like Critical Race Theory and queer theory that have become popular in some schools, calling them harmful ideologies that blame America for its past, divide people using race-based discrimination, and are dangerous to children’s education.
Governor DeSantis made it clear that schools are supposed to support the community, not override the rights of parents to control their children’s education and upbringing. The governor emphasized that the right to parent is fundamental, and his administration will not allow any harmful agenda to be imposed on children.
Despite opposition from some quarters, Governor DeSantis deeply cares about protecting the future of American children and ensuring their education provides them with the tools to succeed in life. He will stand up to those who keep pushing harmful educational policies and ensure that Florida remains safe and secure for all residents.
