„Just understand when you hear ‚equity‘ used that it’s just an ability for people to smuggle in their ideology,“ DeSantis said Wednesday.
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.
