"Erasure of history is not a secret. There are 2.8 million students sitting in Florida public schools right now knowing that their governor does not want them to learn about Black history"

Backlash grows against DeSantis decision to block AP African American studies class

The DeSantis administration said a pilot AP course on Black history would not be approved because it violated state law and “lacks educational value.”

@drewharwell hoping this will have the unintended effect of making Black Studies and Queer Theory into edgy rebellious pastimes for cool kids

Black history is American history. It is world history. White man's inferiority complex must no longer be tolerated. And that is a subject for another AP course, along with Black history.

DeSantis is a closet-Woke who fake his race-hatred schtick just in time for Black History month.

I know this was 40yrs ago, but when I lived in Jacksonville FL they were still teach the civil war as the war of northern aggression. Southern history has always differed from northern history about the civil war. I learned American history in 3 different states, IL, FL, and VA. IL & VA Am. history was similar, but FL Am. history was very different.

@drewharwell The only thing he wants them to learn is the way of the "white extremists ." Let's teach them about how wonderful the Nazis and the KKK are, and then we can make good little soldiers !

@drewharwell @RonDeSantis is taking his dispicable racism straight out of the Goebbles playbook on governing as a fascist and controlling the masses. He needs the courts to intervene to stop him. And must never, never, never be on any ballots ever again.

That would also mean not learning a true history of white people. Lies are truth.
