DeSantis and the fight for parental rights | Washington Examiner

Gov. Ron DeSantis: Well, if you look at how Moms for Liberty has been treated by the media, they ve been treated very hostile. So, one of the points I made was: That tells you you re making an impact because they would not be doing that if you weren t making an impact. Because I think they recognize that the majority of moms agree with what this group, and our policies in Florida, that you know what? Parents do have a right to direct the education and upbringing of their kids.

Yes, schools are [an] important part of the community. They don t supersede the rights of parents. Parents have a right to know what curriculum is being used in their kids schools. They don t have to sit there and have an agenda imposed on kids, particularly these very young kids.

Schools can t be doing things behind parents back like changing the gender of a student without informing the parents. And so, I think a lot of parents have seen, we need a seat at the table again, and they ve seen the Left and the Left s actually honest about this. They will say: Parents should really just butt out of this. They don t really know enough about education. We are going to handle it, and the parents should just be thankful about it.

We still support Gov. DeSantis. I acknowledge he looks like a long shot now, but what else is new. Trump could be struck by lightning, or drown in a hot tub accident. Although he’s reportedly not a drinker, so that’s unlikely I suppose.
