Breitbart reports Ron DeSantis is putting forward a program to help veterans of the armed forces become public school teachers in Florida.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday announced a program to help U.S. veterans to become teachers in the Sunshine State, explaining that it is fitting to have those “who took an oath and put his or her life on the line to preserve, protect, and defend our flag and the freedom it represents” to teach the next generation.
This may be a way to recruit the non-woke into teaching. I wonder if DeSantis has read Robert Heinlein's science fiction novel Starship Troopers. Heinlein explored similar ideas nearly 70 years ago. The 1997 Hollywood film made from the book omits Heinlein's conservative ideas - no surprise.
Afterthought: DeSantis isn't just reactive; in the culture wars he appears to be on offense.
