 Ron DeSantis got a law passed that banned his own speech from being taught in Florida schools, but the toll to students' education is so high that there's no way to enjoy the irony. Plus how are we to believe he cares about the deaths of POC under his watch and that the speech was anything but performative? 

At the second link, you can hear DeSantis get booed at the vigil (and also read about the victims, who shouldn't be forgotten in this.)
