Republicans aim to take Florida's education model nationwide

In its political platform adopted earlier this month, the Republican Party pledged to implement universal school choice, boost parental rights and promote "patriotic" standards for civics education.

In other words, under former President Donald Trump, education across the country would look a lot like it does in Florida.

Why it matters: Florida in recent years has been thrust into the national spotlight for its hyper-conservative approach to education, serving as a test kitchen for policies that public education advocates say undermine students' and teachers' rights.

Some have criticized the state's Department of Education for its push to include Judeo-Christian ideas in public schools, including through its ties to conservative Christian establishments such as Hillsdale College and PragerU.
