Six months after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the “Let Kids Be Kids” legislative package into law earlier this year, school boards are still defying the governor and allowing rogue educators to indoctrinate children with a “woke ideology.”
The Lee County School District appears to have a problem at Riverdale High School.
According to Lee County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Michael Thompson, one of the teachers at the school is trying to indoctrinate kids by hanging a banner promoting Black Lives Matter, Transgender, and the LGBTQ community inside her classroom.
“It’s so disheartening to see, especially after the past several years of battling school boards locally and nationally to continue to see this type of trash, being influenced and pushed upon our children but specifically my daughter,” said Thompson in a statement to The Floridian.
Thompson spoke to the school districts chairman Armor Person, who was endored by DeSantis and is husband of State Rep. Jenna Person-Mulicka (R), telling him that he didn’t believe there was much the district to do if the teacher was not instructing children.
“Regardless of whether they are teaching it as curriculum, or it is allowed to simply hang on the wall, it is undoubtably influencing my child, and every other child that walks in the halls,” added Thompson. “I thought Governor DeSantis didn’t allow this in Florida schools any longer. I’m still trying to understand if or why the School District of Lee County, led by a Republican majority school board, allows this garbage to be in our schools.”
One of the legislative measures DeSantis signed into law—HB 1069—“expands the parental rights in education” law that prohibits any classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity to children attending Pre-K through 8th grade.
