�Groomer�-obsessed Gov. Ron DeSantis partied with students as a 23-year-
old teacher

God knows what kind of under aged sex occurred?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has made �protecting� the state�s school-
age children from the �woke left� a major policy priority for his
administration. His press secretary Christina Pushaw has gone so far as
to suggest that anyone who doesn�t support the state�s Don�t Say Gay law
is �probably a groomer.�

But a recent New York Times investigation suggests that DeSantis himself
behaved questionably when he taught at a private Georgia boarding school
during the 2001�2002 school year.

According to the Times, several former students recall the then 23-year-
old DeSantis frequently attending parties with seniors while teaching
history at Darlington School.

�As an 18-year-old, I remember thinking, �What are you doing here,
dude?�� a former student said.

Former students remember DeSantis attending at least two post-graduation
parties where alcohol was served.

�It was his first job out of Yale, he was cute,� one former student said.
�We didn�t really think too much about it.�

Last year, the blog Hill Reporter unearthed a 2002 photo of DeSantis with
three female Darlington students. One of the young women in the photo
appears to be holding a beer bottle, and the photo was reportedly taken
prior to graduation.

Another former student remembers seeing a memo reminding teachers that
fraternizing with students was inappropriate. ��That�s got to be about
Mr. DeSantis!� That�s what I remember everyone saying,� recalled 2003
Darlington grad Gates Minis.

DeSantis also made waves as a history teacher. His counter-factual views
on the Civil War were so notorious that students made a clip for the
school�s video yearbook mocking them. In the clip, a student imitating
DeSantis says, �The Civil War was not about slavery! It was about two
competing economic systems.�

�In history class, he was trying to play devil�s advocate that the South
had good reason to fight that war, to kill other people, over owning
people � Black people,� Danielle Pompey, a 2003 graduate, said. Pompey
also alleges that during her time at Darlington, DeSantis was �hostile�
toward her because she is Black.

Passed earlier this year, Florida�s Don�t Say Gay bill bans teachers and
schools from discussing gender identity and sexual orientation with
students in third grade and under and restricts such discussions in older
grades. Opponents of the law cite high suicide rates among LGBTQ youth as
a reason LGBTQ identities shouldn�t be treated as shameful, and they also
said that students being raised in LGBTQ households shouldn�t be forced
to hide what their family is like.

In defending the law, DeSantis has said that schools should not �have
pornographic materials.�

�Let�s focus on educating these kids. Let�s cut out the indoctrination,�
he said in August. �Let�s not worry about all this stuff that�s
inappropriate.�

While DeSantis has made education issues � including �critical race
theory,� a term that has become a catch-all on the right for any
discussion of the history of racism in the U.S. � central to his tenure
as governor, his campaign website does not mention his time as a teacher.

A 17-year-old accused of rape at Prior Lake High School last year will be treated as an adult, a 1st Judicial District judge decided earlier this month.

Investigators accused Ramero Carmelino Robbins-Tyler of Prior Lake of felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct after they said he cornered a 15-year-old student in a music room in October and raped her for several minutes before another student entered the room, according to Robbins-Tyler’s detention order.

If he’s found guilty, the charge brings a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.

District Judge Christian Wilton certified Robbins-Tyler as an adult on June 14, according to the order. The boy was being held at a juvenile detention center at the time and was in Scott County Jail custody by Monday, June 17, with bail set at $250,000, according to jail and court records.

The detention order’s statement of probable cause said Savage Police received the sexual assault report the same afternoon of the alleged assault. The victim spoke to police after telling her bus driver and mother, according to the report.

The victim told a detective she met her assailant in the cafeteria before walking to a room in the music wing. The assault began with forcible kissing and continued for what “felt like ten minutes of hell” despite her struggling and repeatedly saying no, the victim said.

Another male student walked in during the assault, and the victim said she ran out of the room after Robbins-Tyler jumped off of her.

Security footage at the high school showed the victim meeting a male whom the school resource officer identified as Robbins-Tyler, the report states. Police arrested him later that evening; his clothing was seized, and he was ordered to complete a sexual assault examination.

Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools in a written statement said the district began its own investigation after the assault but didn’t alert parents because of student privacy laws and the open police inquiry. Robbins-Tyler is no longer enrolled in the district.

“Moving forward, PLSAS will continue to work with Police, as needed. Student safety is, and continues to be, our top priority,” the district said.
