(ORLANDO, FL) – Investing two years of research and commitment, Laurie Cardoza-Moore, founder and president of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, is grateful as both Civics and Holocaust Standards submitted by PJTN were approved late last week for adoption and use in Florida classrooms. She noted on the vote, "Our work in preserving America's Judeo-Christian heritage and values in our children's Civics education amid the national push towards Critical Race Theory will benefit the more than 1.8 million students in Florida classrooms - as will the Holocaust Education materials that will be a national gold standard for Florida."

She went on to praise Governor DeSantis for his commitment in developing curriculum standards for the State of Florida that provide Holocaust Education that honors historical accuracy as well as honoring the memory of the more than 6 million victims of the Nazi's War on the Jews.

In an official press statement released today she stated, "I want to congratulate Governor Ron DeSantis, Commissioner Richard Corcoran and the entire Florida Department of Education team for their outstanding work in developing the most comprehensive Civics and Holocaust Standards in the United States. I also want to recognize the Florida Citizens Alliance and State Representative Randy Fine for their invaluable support. These standards are not only groundbreaking but historical as well. Governor DeSantis has once again proven his commitment to ensuring 1.8 million students in Florida will not be indoctrinated with propaganda. The newly revised Civics Standards will ensure that children in Florida know the Judeo-Christian foundations of the birth of this incredible nation. He has sent a resounding message loud and clear that he will not tolerate revisionist history, antisemitic content or Holocaust revisionism in Florida classrooms. This effort has been almost two years in the making and on behalf of the whole team at PJTN, we are humbled and grateful to have been invited to collaborate on this important endeavor for the future of the State of Florida and the United States! Well done Gov. DeSantis!"

Noted Donna Render, Florida Chapter Director for PJTN: "We are very affirmed and encouraged by Gov. DeSantis commitment to make Florida the national gold standard for curriculum standards in America. The young people sitting in Florida classrooms are the real benefactors of our work."

Under Cardoza-Moore's direction, in 2018 PJTN launched a major national campaign, "Taking Back America's Children," aimed at educating, motivating and activating concerned Americans on the indoctrination happening in American education. The victory with Florida curriculum is the latest success in a national push in the PJTN state-by-state ground game in the education crisis facing American classrooms. "Not to speak up and push back means we face the possibility of losing our next generation of leadership for our nation - our children," stated Cardoza-Moore. "It was gratifying to see the appreciation of teachers, parents and students throughout the state of Florida who stepped up to support PJTN's efforts."
