Ron DeSantis (R) and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), both seen as top potential challengers to Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, have made headlines in recent weeks with a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of education-related actions.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis sparked controversy most recently by rejecting an Advance Placement African American studies course earlier this month, while Youngkin launched an investigation into multiple northern Virginia schools for not giving students the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> that they had qualified for National Merit Scholarships in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Their actions come as potential GOP candidates search for winning issues after a disappointing midterm election. They also suggest that Republicans will take a page out of Youngkin\u2019s playbook, after he made school issues a winning platform in Virginia\u2019s gubernatorial race in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can look at the way Glenn Youngkin became governor of Virginia,\u201d said Republican strategist Alex Stroman. \u201cI would say it was largely because of out-of-control school districts and kind of the climate that was born out of what was happening with COVID and some of the responses and parents starting to pay attention to education because they were forced to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Youngkin\u2019s gubernatorial campaign had nine different education models to target nine different types of education voters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very sophisticated, deliberate goal to make education the forefront,\u201d said Kristin Davison, a political adviser to Youngkin. \u201cWe made a decision very early on in 2021 that we were going to go on offense on education because Republicans always played defense, and it wasn\u2019t an easy decision and all of these people said we were crazy, but it ended up working out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Youngkin notably zeroed in on his opponent, former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe, for saying that he did not believe parents should be telling schools what they should teach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Virginia governor\u2019s supporters credit him for writing the GOP playbook on education after the party had struggled for years to go on offense on the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGov. Youngkin put education on the map for Republicans,\u201d said one GOP strategist. \u201cHe was the first Republican candidate to have education be a central part of his campaign platform and win.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAll 2024 potential candidates saw what Glenn did in 2021,\u201d the strategist said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Education has also catapulted DeSantis, who is viewed as a potential replacement for Trump, into the spotlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Like Youngkin, DeSantis used his coronavirus response as a way to mold his own policy on education in the Sunshine State.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at Ron DeSantis\u2019s meteoric rise among Republican base voters, it\u2019d be the same thing,\u201d Stroman said. \u201cIt was COVID policies, but really with a focus on school districts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But DeSantis\u2019s policies related to education have also sparked controversy, drawing condemnation from his critics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Florida governor signed the Parental Rights in Education Act, which prohibiting instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade and limited it to \u201cage appropriate\u201d material for grades above third.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>More recently, DeSantis made headlines for his defense of his administration\u2019s decision to reject the AP African American studies course, arguing it has \u201ca political agenda and leaves large, ambiguous gaps that can be filled with additional ideological material.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many strategists say the backlash will only play into DeSantis\u2019s hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is starting to take the form of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> Democratic pile-on that occurred during the alleged \u2018Don\u2019t Say Gay\u2019 bill,\u201d said Ford O\u2019Connell, a Florida-based Republican strategist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWhen KJP stands up there and pretends that he\u2019s George Wallace at a school door, the Democrats are jumping the shark,\u201d he added, referring to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. \u201cWhen the dust settles, whether it\u2019s this or Disney or the parental rights bill, he knows that he\u2019s most likely going to prove victorious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The actions also throw red meat to the Republican base.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s flashy newsmaking that appeals here because he knows that that is going to make news in conservative media, whether that\u2019s Fox or Newsmax,\u201d said another GOP strategist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>While education-related issues will likely play well with the party\u2019s tried-and-true primary voters, it remains to be seen which candidate will be able to successfully message on the issue on the national stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Insiders point out that candidates like DeSantis and Youngkin differ stylistically on the issue, not only because of their different personalities, but because of their states\u2019 unique political landscapes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis has catered toward an increasingly red electorate in the Sunshine State, while Youngkin has had to walk a fine line in Virginia, which is a purple state with an arguably blue lean.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that right now we\u2019re up against such fierce forces that really will destroy, so you kind of got to answer back just as forcefully as they do. But Glenn Youngkin\u2019s strategy has been really working in Virginia,\u201d said Terry Schilling, president of the conservative American Principles Project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI prefer DeSantis,\u201d noted Schilling. \u201cI think that his very direct style is what\u2019s needed right now in politics, but there is something to say about Glenn Youngkin\u2019s style as well. He\u2019s in a blue state and he\u2019s governing pretty successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strategists say that for the governors that decide to jump into the presidential fray, their records on the issue will be put to the test on education in the primary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s going to be a key point to see which people just put out a tweet, put out a press release, and give it lip service and which people show up with action to fight the fight,\u201d Davison said<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
