Easy answer for me….yes he is!
Every time Florida’s gov opens his mouth or puts plans into action he proves to me that he is a racist.
His action show a serious dislike for brown and black people.
His newest attempt is to ban Afro-American studies from Florida’s high schools….
Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Republican governor, has rejected a new advanced placement course in African American studies from being taught on high school campuses. He argues that the course violates state law and “lacks educational value”.
This move is the latest in a series of actions to keep conversations and lessons about race, sexuality and gender identity off the state’s school campuses.
DeSantis officially banned the course in a letter from the state education department to the College Board, the organization that administers college readiness exams like the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). They also oversee advanced placement (AP) courses, which allow students to earn college credits in subjects like English and chemistry.
In a 12 January letter to the College Board, the Florida education department said the course is “inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value”.
In the summer of 2022, the College Board announced a pilot program to “offer high school students an evidence-based introduction to African American studies” would be launching in 60 high schools across the country during the 2022-23 school year and will be set to expand to other campuses the following year.
“Like all new AP courses, AP African American Studies is undergoing a rigorous, multiyear pilot phase, collecting feedback from teachers, students, scholars and policymakers,” the College Board said in a statement.
“The process of piloting and revising course frameworks is a standard part of any new AP course and frameworks often change significantly as a result,” the statement continued.
DeSantis, a one-time Donald Trump ally, plays an active role in stoking social and political anxieties, primarily among white Americans, that stem from conversations about race and gender that occur on K-12 public school campuses. In April 2022, he signed the Stop Woke Act, which severely limits “race-based” discussions at schools.

I think this action answers the question originally asked.
Please I would like to hear from any Floridian reader on this subject.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
So the little Hitler can’t ban black students from his campuses, so he settles on banning things that talk about them instead. Sounds to me like the man might be suffering a little frustration here.
And the people of Florida just roll over and play dead. chuq
Most of the residents of Florida are old enough to roll over and play dead because Florida is a retirement center and is filled to the brim with people who have been dead for a long time and are just too lazy to lay down.
LOL Not more needs saying….LOL chuq
Even from England, it seems obvious to me that he is. What baffles me is why people vote for him, including the large Cuban community, by all accounts.
Best wishes, Pete.
Racism runs deep in the ‘New South’….chuq
