Diana Ravich - Since Governor Ron DeSantis was re-elected, he has been using the
powers of his office to punish anyone who dares to criticize him. He
fired an elected state prosecutor. He has harassed Disney, the state’s
largest employer, for daring to oppose his “Don’t Say Gay” law. He has
taken over the state’s only progressive college and handed it over to
far-right zealots. He has banned the teaching of honest history, most
especially Black history. Under his control, the state Department of
Education censors textbooks that include facts he doesn’t like. Under
his direction, the state board of education is whittling away the tenure
and academic freedom of professors. He is replacing competent college
presidents of public colleges and universities with his cronies. During
the height of the pandemic, he banned any mandates for masks or
vaccines. Now he is going after the elected superintendent of Leon County schools.... He personally
gerrymandered the state, eliminating three of four Black members of
Congress.
