Larry Hogan Claims School Curriculum Fight Reeks Of ‘Big Government’

Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, who is considering a run for president, said Sunday that elected officials dictating school curricula reeks of big government.

During an appearance on NBC News’s “Meet The Press,” Hogan illustrated a stark contrast between himself and another Republican who may enter the 2024 ring, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, on governing what is taught in schools. DeSantis, notably, took stances on keeping woke topics out of schools and not teaching young children about sexual orientation.

“I think that some of this rhetoric is … demanding that things be done a certain way — that you can’t say this, you can’t say that. We’ve got to be really careful,” Hogan said.

“I’m a small-government, common-sense conservative and, to me, it sounds like big government and authoritarian,” he added later.
