So now DeSantis wants to ban all AP classes in Florida schools

I expect that many New Yorker's are leaving due to the out of control crime.

Also, the folks in nursing homes don't want to be murdered by their government.

If you turned off Fox you’d find that NY is one of the safest States in the country, NYC one of the safest cities
 
Ah, no, Florida has a higher crime rate than NY (https://247wallst.com/special-report/2020/01/09/most-dangerous-states-in-america-5/), and ranks well above New York in gun violence (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm)

If one considers heat and brutal humidity, not to mention a seasonal hurricane or tropical storm, as “fine weather,” they belong in the Gunshine State. And beaches are everywhere, and unless you are a sun and sand idiot, they are entertaining for an hour or two max

Your data is from 2018, Anchovies.

Please try try to do better.
 
Did he not mention an alternative to the AP classes now available?

Yeah, good luck with that one, colleges want a national recognized entity to certify the curriculum, and the “alternatives” don’t provide such

Guarantee he benefitted fully from AP classes to get into Yale
 
Well leftists never seem to have a problem dictating the type of education citizens can obtain. They also have no problem arresting parents who have the audacity to talk back to them.

Show us where any Blue State banned the type of classes any kid could take, better yet, college prep classes

I don't fully understand what DeSantis is doing here so I'm not defending him. The phrase glass houses and all is very appropriate however based on some of the people complaining about the dumbing down of standards. Don't sit here and support the removal of testing (LSAT, MCAT etc.) and talk about how standards, testing and even grades are steeped in racism and need to be changed or removed in the name of equity (lowering standards) and then complain about the lowering of standards.

I believe that DeSantis is trying...and succeeding, in protecting our children from the perversion and revision of history being pushed on them by the far left loons in the Democratic party.
 
And putting them on FBI terrorist lists.

Yeah, FBI isn’t suppose to investigate parents who issue death threats to school board members, and little Jimmy Jordan echoing the same antidotal narratives doesn’t change the facts

That's not what I said. This is exactly the kind of reactionary thinking by leftists that I have made reference to in a number of threads recently. You didnt reply to what I said, you reacted to what you think I said. This is what makes talking to leftists nearly impossible.
 
I can't believe that w/ all of the crisis situations facing America & the world in 2023, DeSantis has deemed "woke" to be the biggest threat to civilization.

He really should be disqualified from running based on that alone. We need a President who understands how to prioritize.

Not complicated, he’s throwing red meat to the base, plus, he is borrowing Trump’s schtick, say or do something outrageous for attention, then play the martyr when criticized, another self serving tactic the base eats up. Unfortunately, the opportunity cost is the quality of education the States kids receive

Ah, source there “earl,” otherwise, you got nothing

Besides the fact that desantis doesn't give a shit want you think you also don't get to decide who can run for president. Who was it that said, "Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out"?

It isn't the biggest threat to civilization and he did not say that.

It is a threat in Florida where the far left perverts are trying to push their perversion and revision of history on six year old children.

Good for DeSantis.

Sure it is, “leftists never seem to have a problem dictating the type of education citizens can obtain,” and I asked for you to show us where any Blue State banned curriculum as DeSantis is doing here

They teach AP classes to six year old children now?

Where did I use the word "banned"? That's not what I said. Try again. Third time's the charm right?

The tread is on Ronnie banning, dictating type of education, and you tell us “leftist” dictate the types of education people can receive, so, to prove your point, show us where “leftist” banned anything
