In 2022, Florida began indoctrinating public school teachers with Christian Nationalism in the hopes that they would spread the misinformation to their students.

In 2023, new evidence shows, they kept doing it.

Thousands of teachers have now gone through the program, and there’s no telling how many of them went back and spread those lies to their students.

All of this is the result of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ multi-million-dollar “Civics Literacy Excellence Initiative.”

In the summer of 2022, several voluntary three-day training seminars took place across the state. Teachers who attended were told they would receive a $700 stipend for coming and would be eligible for a $3,000 bonus if they completed additional tasks. That meant many educators were likely to attend one of those sessions if they could find time to do so.

The goal of the seminars, in theory, was to give these teachers professional development on the state’s K-12 civics goals. The goals themselves weren’t alarming—they included studying primary sources, teaching kids about government participation, and making sure they knew their rights and responsibilities as citizens. But the alarm bells should have gone off when teachers saw who was putting together the sessions.

Utter garbage they’re pushing. Between Hillsdale and Prager U. propaganda, Florida kids are leaning anything but real facts.
