What did the Tony Awards say about Ron DeSantis?

Benton was presenting an award for "outstanding his school theatre teacher." The Florida native lashed out, "I am certain the current Grand Wizard -- I'm sorry...governor of my home state of Florida will rename the town Plantation, Florida."

You would think someone who is starring in Hamilton would know a thing or two about white supremacy. Yet, here we are.

What makes Denee Banton think Ron DeSantis is KKK?

If I were to guess? Stupidity and laziness. Leftists have a habit of thinking any opposing viewpoint is raaaaaacist and DeSantis has had two major legislative wins that progressives won't calm down about.

The first is Florida's Parental Right in Education Act, which leftists lied about being the "Don't Say Gay Bill" knowing the media and entertainment industry would swear by it. At some point, the left has to take the "L" over this. They tried lying about the bill. It didn't work. The vast majority of Americans support the bill once they see what it ACTUALLY says, including a majority of DEMOCRATS. As it turns out, a law preventing teachers' union thugs from promoting sex and gender to kids in 3rd grade and under is popular. Parents don't think it is appropriate for adults to push sex on five-year-olds.

You would assume a bill critics call "anti-"gay wouldn't mean people being put on a plantation. But, you know. Intersectionality.

The other issue, and the one that caused the NAACP to declare Florida no longer safe for black people, is that DeSantis' BOE rejected a single AP African American History curriculum. Because while the state believes students should learn about:

Instructional personnel may facilitate discussions and use curricula to address, in an age-appropriate manner, how the individual freedoms of persons have been infringed by slavery, racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination, as well as topics relating to the enactment and enforcement of laws resulting in racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination and how recognition of these freedoms has overturned these unjust laws.

And that

Students shall develop an understanding of the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on individual freedoms, and examine what it means to be a responsible and respectful person, for the purpose of encouraging tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic society and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions.

Learning about who is f*cking who (aka, the "queer studies" the left tried sneaking in) was not appropriate.
