Ron Desantis' own book. > Driskell and other state Democrats pinpointed 17 sections in Desantis’ “The Courage to Be Free” that could potentially violate his own legislation. The governor uses the terms “woke” and “gender ideology” 46 times and 10 times, respectively, which the Daily Beast notes could be considered “divisive concepts” that DeSantis has argued should not be included in K-12 studies. ---
