At the bill signing, DeSantis lamented the imaginary teaching of Critical Race Theory in Florida’s schools as something being forced on Florida’s kids. I believe this form of child abuse might also be described as “grooming” them to lose their political virginity way before they are old enough to be an adult participant in the narrow-minded political ideology being forced upon them. And the idea that any of those elementary-school children had an understanding of what it is strains the boundaries of credulity.īut what takes real chutzpah – and a measure of smallness, even for DeSantis – is to stage this political event while putting the anti-CRT signs in the hands of unwitting Black children, whose primary role would be to have their Black faces photographed next to DeSantis as a silent endorsement of the whitewashing of their own history.
