Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a likely 2024 presidential candidate, is pursuing the most far-reaching overhaul of a state education system by a governor in decades, targeting how topics like race and gender are taught
Cassie Gibson was teaching a unit on slavery last spring to her sixth-grade U.S. history class in Polk County, Fla., when she noticed a paragraph in a textbook that gave her pause. It said some white Southerners fought abolitionism and defended slavery.
The passage struck her as potentially violating a 2022 law signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis—which he dubbed “Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act”—that prohibits, among other things, teaching that people should feel guilt over past actions by members of their racial group. She said she worried what her students might say about the passage at home and how their parents might react.
