Why is Florida governor Ron DeSantis a controversial figure

In March 2022, DeSantis signed into law the Parental Rights in Education Act, called the "Don't Say Gay" law by its opponents. The law prohibits instruction on s*xual orientation or gender identity in public school classrooms from kindergarten to grade three. Earlier in March, during a ceremony at a preparatory school outside Tampa, DeSantis said: "We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination." The law states: "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on s*xual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards." As per reports, DeSantis and other Republicans have reiterated that the measure is reasonable and that parents, not teachers, should approach their children with subjects of s*xual orientation and identity. In September this year, DeSantis reportedly transported 50 migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha's Vineyard without shelter or resources in place, which caused a lot of backlash for him.
