Across the country, parents are speaking out at school board meetings against the implementation of Critical Race Theory, a radical, far left concept that promotes racism.
In Florida, Critical Race Theory has now been banned in public schools.
Will other states follow their lead? They certainly should.

Florida Bans ‘Critical Race Theory’ From Its Classrooms
Florida’s state Board of Education banned “critical race theory” from public school classrooms on Thursday, adopting new rules it said would shield schoolchildren from curricula that could “distort historical events.”
Florida’s move was widely expected as a national debate intensifies about how race should be used as a lens in classrooms to examine the country’s tumultuous history.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared by video at the top of the meeting, urging the members, many of whom he appointed, to adopt the new measures that he suggested would serve students with the facts rather than “trying to indoctrinate them with ideology.”
The Black Lives Matter movement has helped bring contentious discussions about race to the forefront of American discourse, and classrooms have become a battleground. Supporters contend that federal law has preserved the unequal treatment of people on the basis of race and that the country was founded on the theft of land and labor.

Opponents say schoolchildren should not be taught that America is fundamentally racist.
Governors and legislatures in Republican-led states around the country are considering or have signed into law bills that would limit how teachers can frame American history.
Ron DeSantis is an outstanding governor.
Florida’s education system exists to create opportunity for our children. Critical Race Theory teaches kids to hate our country and to hate each other. It is state-sanctioned racism and has no place in Florida schools. pic.twitter.com/ludv7ARgNP

Kids should not be taught that they are racist.
Nor should they be taught that the United States is an evil country.
