He actually said AA courses "contradict Florida law". This was not a mandatory class, it was an advanced placement class advanced kids could choose to take, or not.

It begins with banning books, censoring speech the state doesn't like, firing teachers for putting their wedding pic on their desk. Then telling teachers what the state wants them to teach. DeSantis passed a law last summer that requires teaching against communism. He is mandating that kids be taught about the horrible suffering people endured under Communist regime, but not about the suffering of slaves here.

"Textbooks are a good example of how propaganda and censorship worked together in the Nazi regime. The Nazis used both propaganda and censorship to control what students read in school. Nazi censors removed some textbooks from classrooms. New textbooks taught students to obey the Nazi Party, love Hitler, and hate Jews."

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/conte...and-censorship

"Nazi leaders worked to influence young people in youth groups, in their families, and on the streets. Schools also had a key role to play. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, they quickly passed new laws to make public education reflect and teach their nationalist and racial ideologies."

Each and every statement in your post is wrong.

First, "no K-12 school was ever teaching CRT." That's a lie. Assuming your claim is true, then why are you wailing and sobbing about a ban on teaching CRT in K-12 schools? Please pick an argument.

Second, Florida is not "banning books," "censoring speech," or "firing teachers for putting their wedding pic on their desk." You have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to Florida law. You are repeating nonsense you've read on Vox, HuffPo, or whatever left wing propaganda site you get your information from.

As for your Nazi references, that is just laughable coming from someone who supports Democrats and voted for Biden. Take a good long look at what your party has been up to if you want to see what Naziism and fascism looks like.

The fact that you would equate this course with masturbation techniques tells me all I need to know about you.

Will this revelation lead to a black/brown rumble on CD? Stay tuned!

Probably not since Latino people are "white-adjacent" according to many activists.

BTW: Any word on when the 1619 Project will be introduced nationwide to grade-schoolers?

And the fact that you call your political opponents "Nazis" tells us all we need to know about you.

What does "waling and sobbing" look like on a message board??? Exclamation points = yelling, what in my post, specifically, please cut and paste the lines, that bespeak "waling and sobbing". I don't think I'd be able to tell that unless the person used emoji, so I am genuinely curious here.

You can read your own posts just like I can. Go try again and see if you can do it without laughing at them.

Nah, only because Trump could get so many complaints and as much attention as DeSantis on it.

I think they are well thought out and well-spoken. If I do say so myself.

Have you read the curriculum?

According to this educator, the curriculum was about the histories and heritage of Black diaspora. And he mentions "race" can't be in the classroom.

I wonder what that means.
