He just wants a school that will turn kids into uneducated selfish assholes like him!

Believe it or not, that take is actually more flattering to him than the actual truth is. Here's a relevant sentence from his wikipedia page:

DeSantis graduated from Yale in 2001 with a B.A., magna cum laude.

He's not uneducated. He understands what he's doing. He is consciously and intentionally trying to deny other people the same opportunities he received. He's doing this because he believes it will benefit him politically.

To quote Full Metal Jacket, Ron DeSantis is "the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the god damned courtesy of giving him a reacharound."

AKA, make him the King of Florida for the rest of his life.

No, he wants obedient worker slaves. Just smart enough to know how to follow orders and what will happen if they choose to disobey.
