Florida recognized as #1 in Education Freedom for second year in a row by Heritage Foundation
Press release from the Office of Governor Ron DeSantis
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — This week, Florida was recognized by the Heritage Foundation as #1 in Education Freedom for the second year in a row. The Education Freedom Report Card, released annually by the Heritage Foundation, measures states across four categories – Education Choice, Teacher Freedom, Transparency, and Return on Investment – and Florida was in the top five across all categories.
“By providing universal school choice, parental rights in education, and curriculum transparency, we have ensured that parents are able to fully direct the upbringing of their children,” said Governor DeSantis. “Thank you to the Heritage Foundation for recognizing the importance of education freedom.”
“We are proud to once again receive the number one ranking for education freedom from the Heritage Foundation,” said Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz, Jr. “Under Governor Ron DeSantis’ leadership, Florida continues to prioritize school choice and transparency within our education system, benefiting both our students and parents.”

You are free to go back to that left wing trash rag that is scared of comments! No one would miss you!
I love our Gov.! He is the real deal.
Ah, we see you’re parroting the Swamp’s mantra.
FYI, the Swamp knows that DeSantis is the real threat, not Trump, and Trump is going along with the Swamp, once again. Debt, Southern Border, COVID shots, Wokeism and the Swamp itself all were disasters under Trump, hence his fear of the debate stage.
Ask teachers on the front lines what they think of academic freedom these days.
Freedom to teach without the need to indoctrinate or sexualize kids means better education and better behavior – win-win!
What a joke, and I mean both the Heritage Foundation and this award. The Governor and state legislature has passed one law after another enforcing their opinion on our schools, colleges, and universities. That is the opposite of freedom.
News Flash Jazzman, the Legislature is a representative body, not a board or council. They hold the opinions of their voters who put them there, and it keeps tyrannical, wasteful and sometimes (in the case of sexualizing kids) illegal or immoral actions in check. Checks and balances, it’s a wonderful thing.
NewsFlash Truth. The state legislature is gerrymandered to strengthen the power of GOP politics while weakening Democratic representation. My house is 9 miles from downtown Gainesville and my Representative is in McClenny (sp?) and state senator in Orange Park, both Republicans.
But by your reasoning, we don’t need local elected leaders or maybe even local government. Just let Tallahassee run it all.
