Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suffered a string of defeats in school board races in several counties on Tuesday.
The Republican governor, who has sought to reshape his state’s education system by regulating how schools deal with subjects such as race, sexual orientation and gender, threw his support behind 23 school board candidates last month.
A majority of those candidates lost their races on Tuesday.

“People want sanity. People want common sense. And people believe we should educate everyone,” Long told The Associated Press. “The people have spoken.”

It’s called “vocal minority”. If you pander to the vocal minority, the silent majority is going to eventually get pissed about it.
Republicans finding that out all across the board. Not to detract from the school board but how many sleepy democrats woke the fuck up when Roe was repealed? They finally pandered enough to the extremists the majority is pissed.
I can’t imagine a governor, let alone a governor of a state as populous as Florida, inserting himself into fucking school board elections. Ron, don’t you have anything better to be doing, like, at all? Really? This is the best way to serve the public in your post as governor? What a nincompoop.
For him and many other Republicans, undoing the public school system is a high priority.
Well he already lost against Disney, so he needs a new hobby.
Pudding fingers can’t help himself to all that kids pudding treats
Your first mistake was assuming that bigot with shoe inserts will do something logical
Upvoted just for nincompoop. I haven’t heard that in decades.
Thankfully, both of the DeSantis and Mom’s for Book Burning endorsed candidates in our school board elections lost significantly. I think that leaves 2 voices that are more concerned with their conservative indoctrination than actual educational instruction. Hopefully they get kicked next go round. One of the websites flaunted the candidates politics, GOP-endorsements, and overall “look how anti-woke I am, boy howdy!” and never once mentioned anything about the kids. Such losers.
Good.
It’s be terrible if he broke a heel on his boots and fell down stairs
