Ron DeSantis is preparing to implement additional reforms at Florida public schools that would prohibit drag performances to students and only allow children to go by new names with parental consent.
The Florida governor, along with Florida agencies, want to give parents more power over their childrens' education, as well as restrict any activities deemed age inappropriate.
Proposals from Florida's Department of Education, including a ban on districts using social media app TikTok, comes after DeSantis already received a slew of attacks related to his Parental Bill of Rights – deemed by critics the 'Don't Say Gay' law.
DeSantis' ongoing war with Walt Disney Co. stemmed from this controversial law. The presidential hopeful this week filed a motion asking a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit from Disney accusing him of violating its contract with the state over the former Reedy Creek Improvement District.
The new rollout of the education-related rules on Tuesday comes in response to a series of controversial bills passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law by DeSantis that are set to go into effect soon.
Hearings are scheduled to discuss the proposed rules on July 19 in Orlando, a remaining blue dot in the middle of a now-established red state that was once a swing state.
Firstly, the Education Department said it will now ban public school districts from taking their students on field trips or other 'school-sponsored activities' that include 'adult live performances.' This is in response to a law blocking children from attending drag shows in Florida with the rise in popularity of 'drag story time.'
Part of DeSantis' presidential platform includes a promise to return schools to the mission of 'education not indoctrination.'

Sounds good to me.
DeSantis is a real conservative candidate for POTUS.
The others, no so much.
Go Ron! Great stuff.
All very reasonable in a sane world.
This is a good start.
How about adding:
1. Teachers who promote Grooming behaviors are fired and all accrued pension funds are donated to a crisis pregnancy center.
2. School teachers are not allowed to be practicing homosexuals. If they lie about it and are caught, they are fired and forfeit all pension funds and spend two years in prison.
3. Schools nor teacher are allowed to promote ANY political party.
Can they be allowed to own vintage collectable 45s of the Rolling Stones with sleeves as on this poster from 1966?
I like both Trump and DeSantis and both are best when playing to their strengths. Here is DeSantis playing to a strength. I think Ron is far more socially conservative than he is fiscally.
This all seems very reasonable.
LOL!!!!
Charlie Watts was NOT happy in that pic…
Throwing out some more red meat - gotta get those MAGA voters.
Cell phones generally should probably also be banned from school. I understand they can be useful in some instances - (e.g. getting messages from parents that they won’t be able to pick them up today so take the bus, etc.). But for the most part, they’re a distraction.
He’s the best culture warrior we got - he doesn’t just talk, he walks the talk.
Go desantis!
If it wasn’t hot and sticky I would move there
Tick Tock banned on school grounds? Has Florida moved to China or something?
Guess that proves that DeSantis is deep-seated RINO. At least to the Trump-only crowd.
God knows Florida does not want to be Canada. What a disaster of a country that is. Can’t even put out fires. Have to beg the United States to get you out of your mess.
