President PJTN Extends Gratitude To Florida Governor Ron DeSantis For Keeping His Promise To Remove Curriculum Which Is Antisemitic From Florida Higher Education Campuses

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL CHRISTIAN ZIONIST ORGANIZATION PROCLAIMING JUSTICE TO THE NATIONS, EXTENDS GRATITUDE TO FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS FOR KEEPING HIS PROMISE TO REMOVE CURRICULUM WHICH IS ANTISEMITIC FROM FLORIDA HIGHER EDUCATION CAMPUSES AND IMPLORES THE GOVERNOR TO EXPAND THAT EFFORT IN K-12 EDUCATION, TOO.

August 8, 2024 – Orlando, FL. Laurie Cardoza Moore, President and Producer of the global Christian Zionist organization, Proclaiming Justice to The Nations extends her gratitude to Governor Ron DeSantis for keeping his promise to remove antisemitic textbooks and instructional materials from Florida classrooms.

Governor DeSantis’ Chancellor of the State University System, Ray Rodrigues, sent an email to Florida’s university presidents last week outlining a process for reviewing courses and curriculum which includes topics like antisemitism and anti-Israel content to ensure that Florida higher-ed professors are not fueling the Jew-hatred which is becoming more pervasive across the U.S. by teaching antisemitic propaganda to their students.

“Back in 2016, I met with then Cong. Ron DeSantis in Washington, D.C. to show him the examples of the antisemitic, anti-Israel and anti-American content in textbooks published by Pearson publishers in Florida. He made a promise to me then that if he were elected Governor, he would remove the textbooks which were promoting the antisemitic content from Florida classrooms. This recent initiative by Chancellor Rodrigues is another example of Gov. DeSantis’ unrelenting commitment to combat Jew-hatred in the State of Florida,” stated Cardoza Moore

She further stated, “My only additional request would be for Governor DeSantis to please expand this initiative to include K-12 textbooks, instructional materials and library books. We are indoctrinating our children to hate Jews long before they get to the university campuses through textbook publishers like Cengage, Macmillan, Pearson and their subsidiaries.”

Since finding a Pearson Publishers textbook which legitimized terrorists blowing themselves up in a Jerusalem restaurant in 2012, Proclaiming Justice to The Nations has been at the forefront of exposing textbook publishers who are promoting antisemitism in their curriculum. PJTN’s Senior Academic Adviser, Dr. Sandra Alfonsi, has published three White Papers about this growing threat to Jewish students on campuses across the U.S. They have been distributed to governors, state legislators, members of Congress and school board members. The White Papers can be accessed at: https://pjtn.org/tbac-whitepaper/
