Florida keeps leading with purpose under Governor Ron DeSantis’ leadership. 🇺🇸✨

On October 27, DeSantis announced that every Florida high school can now establish Turning Point USA’s “Club America”, student-led groups promoting civic awareness, free markets, and constitutional values. The initiative ensures no school can block or discriminate against students who want to organize.

He also unveiled the Charlie Kirk Prize, part of the Florida Civics & Debate Initiative, to honor excellence in debate and keep civic engagement thriving among the youth.

Florida is not just teaching civics, it’s living it. ☀️📚
