“We’re not gonna let you impose an agenda on our kids. We’re gonna stand up for our kids. We’re gonna make sure to do it right,” DeSantis said.
“Those people like that in Florida are the people we beat every single day on policy, we do not let them win. We win all these battles. We’re not letting them indoctrinate our kids, not on our watch,” he continued.
DeSantis has passed several laws outlawing the instruction of gender ideology and sexual orientation in classrooms. In 2022, he signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, which outlawed the teaching of those topics in grades kindergarten through third grade. It was then expanded in a 2023 bill signed by DeSantis.

Former President Donald Trump currently leads the Republican presidential field, with DeSantis in a close second place, according to polling data.
