The Collier County Republican Executive Committee (Collier GOP) passed a resolution at our June 7 meeting calling on the Collier County Public School Board NOT to purchase educational materials for “English Language Arts, K-5” because they are “infused with Critical Race Theory and related ideologies.” The resolution also put elected officials on notice that they will be “held to account by parents and voters at the ballot box.”
Governor DeSantis and the Collier County Republican Executive Committee have zero tolerance for state-sanctioned racism, and we adhere to the same principle expressed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in that we believe “that every child should learn to judge people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
