Florida’s belligerent right-wing governor Ron DeSantis may finally have generated the kind of anger from voters that will force him to back down on a culture war issue.
Earlier this month, I wrote about DeSantis’s racist and anti-LGBTQ attacks on education in his state, highlighting his unilateral ban on a new Advanced Placement (AP) course in African American studies, which will be offered to school districts nationwide this autumn – though of course Florida schools are barred from participating
The row has so escalated that DeSantis is threatening to pull Florida public schools out of the AP programme altogether.
