"Florida nixes African American studies course"

Africa and North America were similar in that they were both technologically backward when more technologically advanced foreigners arrived to exploit them.
North America, in the temperate zone, had even less of an excuse. Both continents had plenty of resources that went unexploited by indigenousness peoples.
History gives Asians and Europeans an excuse to feel superior, but the real reason for their having been advanced may not be genetic.
It simply remains unexplained at this point in our knowledge.

Ambidextrous fallacy—you take the Liberals' lie that racism is evil and shame them with it. They have been winning because their original sin of JFK's race treason is accepted by the fake Right. The Republicans even brag about majority voting for the Civil Rights for the Uncivilized Bill in 1964.

Even "separate but equal" is ambidextrous. The segregated race was inferior, not equal, and didn't deserve equal facilities.

Mockery. Random phrases. No apparent coherency. No argument presented.
 
"Florida nixes African American studies course"

DeSantis doesn't care about history.

I bet, if you asked him who wrote and first sang, "Hound Dog", he would say Elvis! Of course it was Ellie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton in 1952. But, she was not from florida.

Having seen teenagers in Tampa, Florida doing the dance, Hank Ballard wrote "The Twist", which became the B-side of Hank Ballard and The Midnighters' 1959 single "Teardrops on Your Letter". Dick Clark, having noticed the dance becoming popular among teenagers, recommended to Cameo Records that the more wholesome Chubby Checker rerecord the song, which was released in 1959 and became a number one hit in 1960. The dance became passé among teenagers as it became acceptable among adults and the song was re-released, becoming a number one hit again in 1962. A world record was set in DeLand, Florida, on October 11, 2012, when Chubby Checker sang the song live and the crowd danced. An estimated 4,000 people twisted along with Checker, surpassing the previous Guinness World Record for most people twisting in the streets at once.

I bet he doesn't even know who Cab Calloway and Ella Fitzgerald are and has no idea they were from Florida.

Ray Charles and Sam & Dave had roots in Florida as well. Many others.

Is he going to ban their music for heaven's sake?

So he is not going to stop people from learning that Florida has a huge Black History, just because he is a racist and wants to be the new leader for the Trumptard HATE GROUP!

What would The Saga of Main Street do if the hopelessly inferior were not afforded basic rights?
In his/her/its case, however, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.
His/her/its very existence couldn't possibly be less necessary.

This forum appears to be a scumbag magnet,
partially because of its ill-advised tolerance of posters like the Saga of Main Street.

Yet you argue for the cessation of rights.

Which is it, dude?

The paradoxes are coming out quite numerous today!

Racism. TDS. Inversion fallacy.
 
The American education system has been systematically destroyed....which is one of the ways that you can be sure that America is going down HARD.

"Florida is barring high school students from taking a new advanced placement course on African American studies over concerns the lessons run contrary to state law."

“In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, FDOE will always be willing to reopen the discussion,” state education officials wrote in a Jan. 12 letter to the organization"

"Florida’s education agency, in its decision, doesn’t spell out exactly which law the course is violating"

"That legislation, FL HB 7 (22R), or the Individual Freedom Act, was passed by Florida’s Republican-led Legislature to expand state anti-discrimination laws and prohibit schools and companies from leveling guilt or blame to students and employees based on race or sex. It created new protections for students and workers, including that a person should not be instructed to “feel guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” due to their race, color, sex or national origin."

Wonder if Ronnie knows that AP courses are voluntary, and who does he think is going go sign up for an AP course in African American studies?

The part about leveling guilt or “feeling guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” is too much

Lot of dog whistles going off here

Poor anchovies,
 
Students, officials plan to sue Florida over rejection of AP African American Studies course


Florida House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell said that DeSantis is suppressing First Amendment rights by pushing to reject an AP African American Studies course.

"By rejecting the program, DeSantis has made it clear he wants to dictate whose story does and doesn't belong." Driskell said. "Accurately teaching our history is not political until others make it so."

Driskell said the governor is so "obsessed with woke" that he is "asleep at the wheel." She said he cares more about headlines than Floridians and his only goal is to become the nominee for president.

Rep. Michele Rayner joined in the criticism of DeSantis, saying that he continues to target the vulnerable with "relentless political witch-hunts." She said Critical Race Theory is the new "dog whistle."

"You cannot say on a Monday that your support Dr. King and then on Wednesday refuse to tell his story," Rayner said.
