    Default First student to enroll in Florida’s new civics course should be autocratic Gov. DeSa

    The state of Florida’s education system can’t find the exit out of caricature mode.

    As if last year’s legislative session weren’t enough of a spectacle, now legislators want to forbid the use of “they” as a singular pronoun in schools — or any other, for that matter, that isn’t the one assigned to a student at birth.
    Fluid gender identity is beyond the reach of Republicans’ IQ level.

    So is classic art — and an educator has lost her job because of it.

    The principal of the Tallahassee Classical School was forced out after parents complained that sixth-graders were shown Michelangelo’s famous “David” sculpture. One called the iconic 16th century masterpiece “pornography” prohibited under Florida law, the Tallahassee Democrat reports.

    The foolishness is only going to hit a higher pitch.

    To go along with retrograde censorship and repression, there will soon be an elaborate patriotic indoctrination program, unveiled Thursday in Clay County by Gov. Ron DeSantis and his education commissioner, Manny Díaz Jr.
    One has to love the irony: Censored educators teaching civics!

    This dog-and-pony show may backfire, however, at least in higher grades. In an attempt to turn the next generation of Florida’s children into nationalist right-wingers by overhauling the state’s education system, DeSantis seems blind to his own reality.

    If students really get into truthful nation-building and constitutional lessons allegedly embedded in their new civics “excellence” course, they’re more likely to come to the conclusion that the governor and his GOP-dominant Legislature are undemocratic to the extreme.

    For starters, students would find little separation of powers left in this red state, given its voter suppression laws and initiatives.

    Republicans are now openly anti-education.
    Daniel Patrick Moynihan said it best, "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."
    Paul Begala, "Politics is show business for ugly people."
    Stephen Colbert, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."
    trump is a child rapist. We all know it.

    They don't even try to hide it any more, do they? I wonder how much this kind of nonsense has contributed, along with low salaries, to Florida's teacher shortage? It is the worst in the nation.

    Why would *anyone* vote for a bill that is pointless, since parents have already had all these rights? It's just a "look, base, we're saving the children!" stupid Reichwing pandering ploy. As usual, you fell for it, just as you fell for #TRE45ON's bullshit.

    If you Reichtards really want to pass legislation encouraging parental involvement, make it mandatory for them to show up at PTA and school board meetings, parent-teacher conferences, and work as partners rather than as adversaries against the teachers and school staff. But you won't, because you'd rather pretend everything is "woke" and that's why Johnny can't read.
