And then you read the alleged sylabus and it looks like every other ap course.  He's just a bigot. >

I loved the AP courses I did, I wish they offered busy adult versions, i'd totally be up for that. >

Check out "The Great Courses" on Audible.  They have lecture series on a ton of stuff.  I've listened to quite a few of them.  Also, when they have really steep sales, many are usually included.  I probably haven't paid more than 5 bucks for most of them in my library. >

I think some libraries have free access to those as well. >

Florida is pretty much blatlaly embracing racism at this point:
Florida is pretty much blatantly embracing racism at this point:dvanced Placement African American Studies course because “we want education, not indoctrination.” It was revealed last week that the Florida Department of Education recently told the College Board it would bar the course unless changes are made.
The state then issued a chart late Friday that says the course promotes the idea that modern American society oppresses Black people, other minorities and women, includes a chapter on “Black Queer Studies” that the administration finds inappropriate, and uses articles by critics of capitalism.
The governor said the course violates legislation dubbed the Stop WOKE Act he signed last year. It bars instruction that defines people as necessarily oppressed or privileged based on their race. At least some writers the course cites believe modern U.S. society endorses white supremacy while oppressing racial minorities, gay people and women.
“This course on Black history, what’s one of the lessons about? Queer theory. Now who would say that an important part of Black history is queer theory? That is somebody pushing an agenda,” said DeSantis, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2024. >

Florida has all the worst parts of the South and none of the good parts. >

“This course pushed a political agenda. Only I can push political agendas in our schools.” - DeSantis >

DeSantis hates black people >

No... he loves Black People.  He just doesn't want that part of history to be taught, understood or thought about in any way.   Best we just pretend nothing ever happened and move on, the same way white people did after nothing happened 150 or so odd years ago. >

He loves black people? If he loves white people the same way that he loves black people, he would do their history the same way. He needs to start wearing his robe. >

What does that even mean? “Their history”? I’ve never even heard of a white studies course. >

he is right... banning an AP course is pushing a political agenda.  
All projection. >

That's precisely what I'd expect a racist piece of shit to do: Stand behind their racism. >

What message does it send to Black Floridians that their governor and his Board are blocking courses that teach their history? >

doesn’t understand the term “political agenda” >

..... says the politician banning education classes...... >

“Man pushing political agenda claims to be against political agendas” >

”Imagine how boring and closed minded we’d all be if we only met ideas that we agreed with,”
Yep >

Being anything other than white is a political agenda - Ron DeSantis >


It’s almost like we are running back in time as fast as possible to 1920.

Mmm…1830 is looking more and more like a reasonable target date. >

Florida Governor and pincer crab being called to testify, Ron DeSantis. >

Your skin color is political? Wow, Rhonda, not sure about that one. >

Everything related to pedagogy pushes a political agenda. It's in the nature of deciding what is important to teach and how to teach it. The problem for DeSantis is that, to him, it pushes the "wrong" political agenda >

The political agenda that our history wasn’t noble simply because it’s our history. >

The irony is astounding >

DeSantis is pushing racism as a political agenda >

Looney DeSantis thinks Mickey Mouse is a political agenda, too. >

Starting to think all his culture war bullshit is just cover for fact he has no clue how to govern. >

DeSantis governs with scientific ignorance, and religious bigotry,  misogyny, and homophobia. >

But his political agenda is ok? Got it!
