Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has overruled Democrat President Joe Biden and his administration’s attempts to force “woke ideology” into Floridian schools.
Gov. DeSantis vowed that Florida will fight back against Biden’s destructive radical policies.
“In Florida, we are fighting against Biden’s intentionally destructive policies like denying school lunches for states that refuse to implement woke gender ideology in the schools,” DeSantis warned on Twitter.
DeSantis also shared a video with a bold message for Biden and his “woke” allies in Washington D.C.
“We’re prepared for what Biden throws our way,” the governor assured his constituents during a press conference.
“And, you know, yes, part of it’s the inflation and the gas — part of it are intentionally destructive policies like trying to deny school lunch programs for states that don’t do transgender ideology in the schools.
“I mean, give me a break.
“Totally off his rocker to be doing that.
“We’re fighting on that, don’t worry.
“So we’re just prepared to be able to defend the taxpayers and the hard-working people in the state of Florida, and I couldn’t be prouder for doing that.”

From Fox News:
The Biden administration is using lunch money to hold ‘school districts hostage,’ the head of a conservative advocacy group said in response to the Department of Agriculture’s announcement that it would require certain schools to allow trans students to use the bathroom of their preferred gender.
Schools awarded money from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), an agency within USDA, must specify in their policies that discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation is prohibited, the department announced in May.
It also said allegations of such discrimination must be investigated.
“What you’re seeing here is really the Biden administration saying ‘you’re going to do what I want or I’m going to take your lunch money,’” Fight for Schools Executive Director Ian Prior told Fox News.
“For the federal government to come in and really tie school nutrition and school lunch programs to this radical ideology is terrifying, and it’s appalling.”
