The Forgotten Ron DeSantis Book

3/3/2023

This article discusses Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' interpretation of American history and the Constitution through the lens of originalism. Originalism is a constitutional theory that seeks to interpret the Constitution based on its original meaning at the time of its adoption. DeSantis argues that teaching a sanitized or revisionist version of American history in schools does a disservice to students and that a return to a more originalist interpretation of the Constitution is necessary. The article examines the implications of DeSantis' beliefs for education and the broader societal impact of embracing a strict originalist approach to American history and the Constitution.
