The Florida Department of Education says it banned AP African American History because it teaches students about activism, intersectionality and encourages “ending the war on Black trans, queer, gender non-conforming, and intersex people.”
😱Right?🤦♀️
The move comes in the same week the far-right Republican—who a judge just ruled violated free speech laws by firing a prosecutor for being “woke”—requested info on trans students from universities state-wide.
What's the opposite of "woke?"

No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them.
I feel wrong even saying this but sadly believe it to be true. I suspect his motive is to remove all black,a stain, from pure White Supreme history , to kill the roots of the tree, cultural genocide. But, those roots run too deep, have been tested too often & will prevail
Education, a well read man, was the sign of a Gentleman, Royalty, The Gentry, Your Lordship, while
Ignorance was the sign of the peasant, the slave, the indentured servant, the cannon fodder
Yup, partly as the need to be right trumps being right & an empty vessel, a frail Ego , is easily filled to the exclusion of all else.
