Governor Ron DeSantis has advanced his vision for a more conservative education system in Florida: His recommendation for Anastasios "Stasi" Kamoutsas to be Commissioner of Education was unanimously approved Wednesday by the state Board of Education.

Kamoutsas, who would be leaving his role as the governor's deputy chief of staff, is DeSantis' third consecutive pick for commissioner. He's set to succeed Manny Diaz, Jr. following his appointment to be Interim President of the University of West Florida.

"You have my full commitment that our students will receive an education, not indoctrination, that our parents will have a voice in their children's classrooms and our teachers will be supported," Kamoutsas told the board at Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus on Wednesday.
