It's Florida so what did you expect?
Irony is dead. >

No, we are suffering from irony poisoning. When's the last time someone did anything that wasn't drenched in irony? >

Congratulations on teaching the students that school boards are not worthy of respect >

Eh, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that a high school shouldn't be performing plays that involve prostitution. 
High school plays are meant to be for general audiences, so family members (including younger siblings) can attend. >

I don't know man. I mean if high school kids want to find out about prostitution, they just can. You can't hide that kind of stuff anymore.
And you know what? I don't know that that's a bad thing. I think maybe one of the things the internet is going to show us is that all of this stuff we've been keeping from people doesn't have the effects we think it's going to have. I think we're going to find out that lying to people in general, for lots of different reasons, isn't as good an idea as we think it is. Maybe it'll enable us to solve a lot of the problems we've been trying to solve forever and been unable to do anything about.
But hey, who knows? Maybe it'll have a terrible effect instead. >

Hey, beep boop, pal >

How FL woke. >

That sounds very Florida. Hopefully the students can find a way to protest and/or put the play on elsewhere. >

As long as they don't say gay while they're doing it. We don't want them getting in trouble with their new undereducated soldier / teachers. >

I suspect it is the politicians at the board level, republican affiliated fundamentalists. Most teachers are open to equal rights and civil liberties >

I was commenting about how the politicians have ruined our school systems here in Florida. You can now teach in schools here if you are a former servicemember who DOESN'T have a degree. (Yes, the degree disqualifies them from the program). 
Teachers are usually an educated lot who does quite a bit for most communities they're in.  Teaching used to be for the students, in Florida they've turned the job into a political shitstorm.  I wouldn't want to be a student or teacher in a school in this state. 
HAVE A NICE DAY! >

"Are you a total moron? If so, become a Florida teacher! We don't need any of those elites telling us what's what. We don't like minorities - like Black people and homosexuals - and we certainly don't like smart people, so come on down to Florida and teach our kids how to be hateful morons just like you! (Guns not included, but encouraged)" - DeSantis's team pretty much >

It’s not cancel culture if it’s conservatives doing it! /s >

I had dinner with an old friend while back home over Christmas who had gone all in with the alt right since I last saw him, and he had a rehearsed rebuttal for this:
Him: [general whining about "cancel culture" ]
Me: Conservatives do a lot of "cancelling," too. For example, by far most challenges to library books are from conservatives.
Him: Oh, so you want pornography in school libraries? >

He must have been referring to the Bible >

I thought Florida was like the American capital of free speech and fuck your feelings?! >

Free Speech (for the “right people” only)
Fuck your feelings (my feelings are all that matter) >

I love plays within plays! This sounds super cool. I'm not surprised it got cancelled though. I'm surprised the school was planning to put it on in the first place. My school certainly wouldn't have >

If irony were made of strawberries, we would be drinking a lot of smoothies right now. >

Those three things are part of a balanced breakfast. >

They'll replace it with a play about how great the Catholic church is probably
Edit: Catholics are easily triggered apparently >

Why do so many people on reddit think the Catholic church is all that relevant in the US? America was founded by protestants,  the biggest church is the Southern Baptists and, the only 2 Catholic US Presidents were JFK and Biden (both democrats). >

I'm pretty sure there are no other individual denominations which are as nationally politically powerful - while evangelicals outnumber them, and likely have more political power than them, they aren't unified into a single organization the way that catholics are.  Add in the way that Catholicism has an outsized influence in multiple major cities (Boston, NYC, Chicago) due to particular immigrant populations and you have some part of the explanation. >

Makes sense, especially if most redditors are from big non-Southern cities >

Conservativism is fundamentally based on 2 beliefs:
1) If I experience any consequences whatsoever for saying hateful or bigoted things, I am a victim of cancel culture.
2) Any type of free expression that offends my beliefs must be cancelled immediately. >

The conservative view of the law is that it has people it protects (fellow conservatives/natives/straight people/etc.) and people it binds or restricts (liberals, people who "deviate" from the norm, immigrants, etc.).  It's why they can commit crimes and not consider themselves "criminals" - for them a "criminal" is a moral judgment of a type of person, not a neutral term for a person who breaks a law. >

In other words, conservativism is fundamentally about believing that there is a "master race" who is above the law and "sub humans" who are beneath it. >

Race is an important component of the "master race", but not determinative (e.g., Herschel Walker, Ben Carson, Ye, etc.). The most important component for membership is agreement that a group of "masters" controls the lives of "others". >

Boy, they really are building a "patriot" utopia down there, aren't they? >

According to the bill they tried to pass, in Florida "Woke' means: "Telling people that systemic oppression exists/existed".
So I can see why this made their tiny minds rage. >

You’d have thought all the snow flakes would have melted in Florida but here they are. >

How… ironic
