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."

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.
