A summary of Ron DeSantis’s anti-education efforts in Florida.
It is challenging to keep up with the evolving efforts by Ron DeSantis to destroy the educational system in Florida. In his most recent gambit, he is threatening to ban all Advanced Placement courses in Florida (as part of his feud with the College Board over the African American Studies course). Vox has published a comprehensive summary (current through Tuesday, February 14) of DeSantis’s efforts. See Vox, What DeSantis is doing to Florida schools, explained.

"It was morality that burned the books of the ancient sages, and morality that halted the free inquiry of the Golden Age and substituted for it the credulous imbecility of the Age of Faith. It was a fixed moral code and a fixed theology which robbed the human race of a thousand years by wasting them upon alchemy, heretic-burning, witchcraft and sacerdotalism.“
