Would to God this man could be cloned 10,000 times... He IS a future President of the Somewhat United States. Gov. Ron DeSantis charts new political path for GOP as he takes the unusual step of endorsing school board candidates that vow to back his education plans.

DORAL, Florida — Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is working to line up a slew of loyalists on school boards across Florida as he seeks a second term in the nation's third-largest state.
"We need help at the local level," DeSantis said at a firefighters building before 430 enthusiastic supporters during a campaign event on Sunday. "You guys with your power going out and voting is going to make a huge difference."
The governor has endorsed 29 conservative candidates ahead of Tuesday's election for school board races, which typically don't receive much attention and are technically nonpartisan.
School board members make decisions about spending, schedules, supplies, curriculum, and other matters. But in more than a dozen counties where DeSantis endorsed candidates, school boards defied the governor last fall by obligating students to wear masks.
The elections have come into greater focus for voters who were frustrated after schools across the US stayed closed during the coronavirus pandemic. DeSantis and other Republicans have taken note of the energy behind these races, and have also moved to restrict school curriculum or practices on race, gender, and sexual orientation.
"We are not going to surrender to woke," said DeSantis, whose political committee donated to the school board candidates. "We are going to prevail and Florida is the state where woke goes to die."
Lieutenant Gov. Jeanette Nuñez, who also appeared at the event, told the crowd that the DeSantis administration was focused on education because it "is key to opportunity, it's the key to our future."
"I'm calling on each and every one of you to join us in this battle to take back our school boards," she said.
Criticising the Democratic Party as a "woke dumpster fire," DeSantis during his speech indicated he would double down on many of the education issues he tackled over the last four years, which are spelled out in his 10-point education agenda on his website.
