evidence: Florida civics teachers are still being indoctrinated with Christian Nationalism "Christian nationalism… was just baked into everything," said one teacher about the state’s civics initiative [...] The goal of the seminars, in theory, was to give these teachers professional development on the state’s K-12 civics goals. The goals themselves weren’t alarming—they included studying primary sources, teaching kids about government participation, and making sure they knew their rights and responsibilities as citizens. But the alarm bells should have gone off when teachers saw who was putting together the sessions. [...] According to a press release from the governor’s office, from July of 2023, the state has "awarded 11,000 teachers more than $33 million" for completing those training sessions. DeSantis’ proposed budget for 2024-2025, released in December, included $45 million for the continuation of this indoctrination program. (The bill that passed included at least $10 million for the program.)
