Don’t be taught about Black History. Don’t read about Native American or Asian history. Just pretend we never had slavery or all people are treated equal under the law. Why? Because Ron DeSantis says so.
He is banning books in libraries and I can tell you straight up...kids are afraid of him in High School. First of all..he is making me so angry and I am so glad that our kids were taught truth but not every child in Florida is that fortunate.
I am warning all of the people, this will not stop in Florida. How can he do this? How can he rewrite history? Does the Federal Government not have any power over this stupid ignorant power hungry nut?
I AM SCREAMING…..WE NEED A MOVEMENT PEOPLE !!!!!!
Does the federal government not have any say over an educational test that must be taught regarding history? Why are these teachers hands being tied? First it was grade school, then it was High School and now colleges. Moving right along to the libraries? What can be done about this Mussilini type governing?

In his time as governor, DeSantis has repeatedly focused on schools as a place to push hot button reactionary issues, playing on conservative parents’ fears that their children will learn things that contradict the world view they want to instill in them. The tactic is smart in its own way, galvanizing an active base that will most likely vote for him in the upcoming midterm elections as a result. However, it ignores the entire point of education, which is to learn about the world beyond your own limited perspective.
The administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is blocking a new Advanced Placement course for high school students on African American studies.
In a January 12 letter to the College Board, the nonprofit organization that oversees AP coursework, the Florida Department of Education’s Office of Articulation said the course is “inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”
Florida ranks second among states with the most book bans, a new report finds

Sander of Arkansas has already adopted DeSantis Educational hoopla.
I told you every right winged white racist will jump on this band wagon all across the nation and it won’t stop in Arkansas.
REWRITE HISTORY. That is the objective.
There is equal justice for everyone…
There were never any civil rights problems
The civil war was not at all about slavery
Black Lives Matters does not matter.
The Indians never had to walk a trail of Tears
People of color and whites are all treated the same and there was never a George Wallace Problem.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kids will be brought up thinking everyone is equal and that is just flat out lying.
If topics in history make whites uncomfortable...well don’t teach it because well, it makes the white race uncomfortable.
Has this idiot never heard of Google? Has he never heard of learning things outside of school?
Something has got to be done about this dictator. I am wondering just how long it will be, before we have minorities on the auction block with people bidding for slaves. This is a worry because i would put nothing past him in the name of freedom which is really oppression.
If we are not taught history, we are bound to repeat it, which IMO is just what these autocrats want.

He and the racists are running this state. It has to stop.
This never happened and I guess Emmett Till never happened either.
RACISM AND THE STRUGGLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS IN FLORIDA
Florida During American Racial Segregation
On the night of April 4, 1968, Leon County Sheriff William P. Joyce and Florida Governor Claude Kirk stood in the streets of the state capital. Hours before, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been shot and killed on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.
When the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) campus heard the news of the assassination of Dr. King, student protests broke out in the quads. Day turned into night as protests escalated into bottle throwing at passing cars and small car fires in the streets of Tallahassee. For the 10 days following the civil rights leader's death, riots broke out in over 100 American cities from San Francisco to New York, Chicago to New Orleans. Race relations in the United States had taken front and center in the public square.
This exhibit of images from the Florida Memory Photographic Collection illustrates a brief history of racism and the struggle for civil rights in Florida.
