  Today's Republicans are so fragile that they are the first generation of parents that don't want their children to have better lives than themselves because it would imply they're not perfect.
context: Desantis wants to do this to the entire country. >
  
  He’s so dangerous. >
  
  He is a racist piece of crap. >
  
  Don’t hold yourself back there stranger, let’s be honest, Ron Desantis is a fascist, racist, pile of human shit. And he deserves nothing less than being called a fucking pile of excrement. >
  
  He’s also a misogynist, don’t forget that part >
  
  Sane people: "We should tear down these Confederate statues."
  GOP: "No! Otherwise we might forget our history and then we'll be doomed to repeat it!"
  Sane people: "Oh, no problem, see, we're just gonna teach people about slavery and the Civil War in school."
  GOP: "No! That doesn't have any educational value...."
  Sane people: "....." >
  
  Become? >
  
  We are trying to hold on. I recently got my medical marijuana license and then realized that doesn’t mean shit lol. All employers are still free to fire you over weed. >
  
  Maybe talk to the 99% of people with that license who are completely full of it. >
  
  Maybe talk to doctors buddy. I didn’t make the parameters of what counts as able to be prescribed. I will tell you this though I am a 90% disabled veteran who was able to quit Cymbalta which made me a zombie thanks to marijuana. So can kiss my ass if you try are trying to hate on marijuana I think it should be recreational world wide. >
  
  Enjoy getting high if that’s what you want to do with your life. >
  
  Do you say the same thing when someone cracks open a beer? Get out of here with this weird Reaganite take. >
  
  People who drink beer don’t insult everyone’s intelligence by pretending it is a medical treatment. >
  
  As veteran, a lover of people, and someone who’s watched my buddies struggle returning from “over there” - you can fuck right off. >
  
  So Florida as a state can do this, but don't they lose federal funding for education since it isn't being used? >
  
  They don’t care because Florida republicans want to privatize education into charter schools. >
  
  The AP program is run and administered by a private, non-profit educational organization. >
  
  My comment wasn’t about the AP program. >
  
  So isn't their point of blocking history because of the children bla bla bla.. How many children take college ap courses most of them are probably at the age to serve in the military.  But yeah they can't make up their own minds.
  Who would have thought that a place as warm as Florida was so habitable for snowflakes. >
  
  
  college ap courses 
  
  ap is high school >
  
  AP classes are college level courses with transferable college credits that can be taken by upper level high school students. Most students taking them are 17 or 18 years old. >
  
  And AP students are generally the brightest and most academically inclined students in the high school, and the idea that such students need to have history hidden from them is an insult. >
  
  That’s the point >
  
  Most students who take ap classes are usually the type to learn things beyond their school curriculum anyways.
  (Although taking away this class is still bad) >
  
  Again, the point is to make knowledge an evil unto itself. >
  
  Maybe they can make a new class: AP Fascism In America, Contemporary Themes >
  
  So tell me if you ban only 1 AP class and it is African American studies tell me how this isn't racism? >
  
  The course is CRT based racism that they are trying to dispel from k-12 schools. >
  
  Please provide proof that CRT is taught in K-12. Thx. >
  
  There’s like 1 unit in the curriculum that uses a CRT book. It’s an overreaction but unfortunately it doesn’t comply with Desantis ban, which is also dumb. >
  
  You seem to have some information on this. Can I ask which book actually? >
  
  Thanks for providing an actual source and not some article. >
  
  Oh, it gets worse. Desantis outright says there's nothing to be gained from studying black history and that indigenous Americans have no culture
  Edit: Gotta love the schmucks who refuse to recognize dog whistles and defend of a racist POS >
  
  that's insane. happen to have any links for me? I can't find any quotes resembling that. >
  
  I'm not denying he might've said it, but I did not see in your article where Desantis claims "indigenous people have no culture". Do you have a link to where he said that? Or can you point to where I missed where he said it in your article, please? >
  
  Wow, thats blatant misinformation. This is what conservatives see to use against us >
  
  It's not misinformation. It's called piecing together a character and recognizing dog whistles. It's literally part of the basis for creating a motive for criminals >
  
  Dont say he outright said it. Because that is not true. Its already really bad by itself and we dont need to exaggerate anything to make them look worse >
  
  This makes sense, now knowing the history of Florida. Everyone should read “Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland boys, and the Dawn of a New America.” The State of Florida and it’s authorities are/were straight vile. >
  
  They should pull AP testing from the state.  You can’t let one place dictate what is a valid course or not simply because of zeitgeist politics of fear. >
  
  That would just punish the students. DeSantis wouldn't care . There's been a 40 year push to make public schools less appealing anyway >
  
  They don't like their kids learning the real history of America because it makes them uncomfortable. Yea that's the whole point, it's uncomfortable because America has done some fucked up shit in its past, and it echoes into the present.
