Governor Ron DeSantis on Friday directed the Florida Department of Education to suspend four schools from the state’s school-choice scholarship program because of their alleged “direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party.”

The Florida DOE is working with nonprofit scholarship-funding organizations to help affected students enroll in nearby schools that are accepted under the program. DeSantis’s order comes after he signed in May a bill that prohibited any school affiliated with a “foreign country of concern” from participating in Florida’s school-choice scholarship programs.
