Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, angling to overtake former President Donald Trump as defacto leader of the GOP, has made a name for himself as a culture warrior by spearheading highly provocative legislation and dubbing his state the place “woke goes to die.”
In the runup to a likely run for president, he picked a fight with one of the nation’s most powerful educational institutions, The College Board, over course material in an AP African American Studies class. The dispute became a national lightning rod for discussions on race, censorship and what is – or is not – essential American history.
