DeSantis’ most controversial pick for the school’s board is right-wing activist and Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo.
In a statement, DeSantis said Rufo had “lead the fight” against Critical Race Theory in American schools and other institutions.
“Rufo’s research and activism inspired a presidential order and legislation in fifteen states, where he has worked closely with conservative governors and lawmakers to craft successful public policy,” DeSantis said. Rufo — who declares on his website that he is “driving the national conversation on critical race theory and gender ideology” — lauded the announcement in a tweet.“Left-wing radicals have spent the past fifty years on a ‘long march through the institutions,'” he tweeted — quoting German socialist Rudi Dutschke. “We are going to reverse that process, starting now.”
“Gov. DeSantis has laid out a vision for recapturing the institutions and restoring them to American principles,” Rufo continued, adding, “Let’s do it.” DeSantis’ board appointees also include Matthew Spalding, the dean of the school of government at Hillsdale College; Charles Kesler, editor of the Claremont Review of Books; Mark Bauerlein, a professor at Emory University and self-described “educational conservative;” Jason Speir, founder of Inspiration Academy, a Christian school in Bradenton, Florida; and Debra Jenks, a New College graduate and attorney who,Six conservative board members have been appointed to the New College of Florida.
