One day after quoting MLK on MLK Day, Florida MAGA Gov Ron DeSantis cancels AP African American Studies Program, saying it ‘Lacks Educational Value’

This is literally white supremacist talking points & a reminder how much these people still hate MLK today.

Indeed, DeSantis banning AP African American Studies is a reminder of that old quote -- White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective.

@QasimRashid De Santis is a dangerous politician. Full of racism, hate, bigotry, double standards, arrogance and intolerance. 🤬

From a German perspective it is shocking to see how little recent US history gets taught in schools etc. Seems White Privilege likes to erase or alter the facts to strengthen their power. 🤷😡

Not that we don't have idiots like that over here. But at least all the info is available and part of most kids' education.

@ruedi @QasimRashid you are exactly right! It wasn’t that long ago that the United Daughters of the Confederacy rewrote history textbooks for the confederate states. As you can imagine it whitewashed slavery & what the civil war was about. That’s where we get our biggest divide in the United States. People are being taught 2 different types of history.
