On Thursday morning, the Florida State Board of Education will vote on what educators can teach about institutionalized racism.
Governor Ron DeSantis wants to get rid of the teaching concept known as critical race theory, but others say teaching it is necessary to combat racism.
Before the state board of education meets to vote at Florida State College at Jacksonville at 9 a.m., local activists held a news conference to voice their opposition to what DeSantis wants to do.
