Newsweek reports Florida Governor Ron DeSantis alleged that critical race theory (CRT) and equity training have become cottage industries, suggesting that experts who provide professional guidance to schools and businesses on racial inequities are making a lucrative living off of their work.
“This has become a cottage industry—the CRT. There’s people making huge amounts of money,” DeSantis said at a Wednesday press conference. “They basically will get tens of thousands of dollars to go in and do a training, sometimes in schools, sometimes in business, basically saying ‘Okay, pay me $50,000 so I can teach your employees how racist capitalism is.'”
“This issue is that you have these whole cottage industries of these consultants that will come and they’ll go into a school district or they’ll go to a business or they’ll go to colleges and universities and they bring a lot of this into those institutions and they call it ‘equity,'” he added. “Just understand when you hear ‘equity’ used that it’s just an ability for people to smuggle in their ideology.”

DeSantis Announces ‘Stop WOKE Act’ Against CRT in Schools, Workplace
By: Caleb Parke, Dec 15, 2021
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced the “Stop W.O.K.E. Act” Wednesday “taking a stand against critical race theory in our schools and in the workplace.”
Alongside Lt. Gov. Jeanette Núñez and Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran, he introduced the new piece of legislation: “Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act.”
“I view the wokeness as a form of cultural Marxism,” DeSantis said. “They really want to tear at the fabric of our society and our culture.”
The bill would allow parents the right to sue if they think their kids are being taught CRT.
“Our legislation will defend any money for K-12 going to CRT consultants,” DeSantis said. “No taxpayer dollars should be used to teach our kids to hate our country or hate each other.”
The conservative governor referenced the Left’s attempts to erase U.S. history and topple statues of Founding Fathers and other figures.
