Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday his proposal for a civics education curriculum in the state, but it will not include Critical Race Theory. The plan will direct the Florida Department of Education to create the Florida Civic Seal of Excellence, a new professional endorsement for civics education. DeSantis, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, said Critical Race Theory is “trying to make people view each other based on race.” According to Purdue University, Critical Race Theory is a “theoretical and interpretive mode that examines the appearance of race and racism across dominant cultural modes of expression.” Scholars in the field strive to understand how victims of systematic racism are impacted by cultural perceptions of race and its effect on lived experiences.
