María Celeste took to social media to criticize the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis, who is running to be the Republican presidential candidate in 2024, has angered the journalist.

María Celeste was not pleased Florida’s new education guidelines.

She states that the governor aims to teach students «that slavery benefited the slaves.»

The Puerto Rican journalist shared her disapproval of Florida’s new education guidelines in a social media post.

Her followers shared her feelings about the controversial new rules.

«What is this governor using?» «What happened to that man?» «What ignorance!» they commented.

While some agreed with her stance, others did not share her opinion.

According to The Washington Post, the new rules for Florida schools were approved on July 19.

New standards were established for how Black history will be taught in public schools.

These standards will direct how the students will learn about this part of U.S. history.

Teachers are required to teach that slaves «developed skills» that «could be applied for their personal benefit.»

The Post also reported that the state legislature approved a series of new laws backed by Ron DeSantis.

He claims that these measures eliminate «woke indoctrination» and empower parents.

Teaching critical race theory, an intellectual movement that examines systemic racism, is prohibited.

Teachers are also prohibited from making students «feel guilt» about other’s past actions in their lessons.
