Appearing on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ turf, California's Gov. Newsom decries what he calls a backward-looking push to change education in the U.S.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is heading to Sarasota, Fla., to meet with students at an embattled college campus that has become a symbol of the national culture wars.DeSantis appointed a conservative majority to its board of trustees
This is part of a broader effort led by DeSantis and a compliant GOP-majority Legislature to reshape education at various levels, including getting rid of university DEI programs, encouraging private school attendance by offering taxpayer-funded vouchers regardless of income, restricting and banning books, and limiting discussion of LGBTQ+ topics in class.
“There’s a word: freedom. Not coercion. Academic freedom,” Newsom said. “I’m just trying to wake people up.”The governors of California and Florida — two of the nation’s biggest ideological rival states — are leading in opposite directions. Both may run for president. “It just feels like we are a pawn,” Escalante said. “I just don’t think education is something we should be weaponizing. It’s just like a personal attack.”
