Gov. Ron DeSantis said he intends to flip more local seats from liberal to conservative-leaning education officials, taking aim at boards in areas that have pushed back against Republican policies. | Crystal Vander Weit/TCPalm.com via AP PhotoTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to continue wielding his political influence in school board races across the state after his campaign helped two dozen conservative candidates win during this year’s midterm elections.
The event, dubbed the “Freedom Blueprint,” was led by DeSantis as a training day for school board members he endorsed this year and other potential candidates. The governor has reshaped education in Florida in the past few years, pushing legislation like the Parental Rights in Education measure, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by opponents, that bars educators from leading classroom instructions on gender identity or sexual orientation for students through third grade. Such legislation has put Florida at the forefront of the culture wars throughout the nation ahead of DeSantis’ possible 2024 presidential bid.
