'No taxpayer dollars should be used to teach our kids to hate our country or to hate each other,' DeSantis said.

The concept itself has been around for more than 40 years, but critical race theory has been an explosive topic around the country in the past year or so. The crux of CRT is this: Racism is more than just individual bias; it's embedded throughout legal systems and policy.

While each delivered their own remarks applauding DeSantis' "Stop WOKE Act," their message was similar: CRT has no place in schools and that parents should have say in what their kids are taught. It would also give parents "a private right of action to be able to enforce the prohibition on CRT," DeSantis said.

According to information from the governor's office, the proposal would also "protect employees against a hostile work environment due to critical race theory training" and extend that "private right of action" to employees.
