Just when you thought DeSantis couldn't get any worse

DeSantis escalates his authoritarian purge: GOP bounty hunters are the next frontier.

The Supreme Court just offered their blessing to the Texas abortion ban, which rewards bounty hunters for snitching on those who "aid and abet" abortions. Now less than one week later, Republicans are looking to use similar mechanisms to ban not just abortions, but the teaching of history.

In Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has offered up the use of this novel enforcement mechanism to fight the culture wars in classrooms and corporations, which should send a chill down any freedom-loving person's spine. Called the "Stop WOKE Act," the bill would allow any parent to sue a school district for teaching "critical race theory."

While "critical race theory" is a scare term the right uses to make it sound like there's some novel and esoteric indoctrination going on in schools, a little digging shows what Republicans actually mean by the term is any lessons or materials that acknowledge racism had any impact on American history. Conservatives groups are demanding schools ban books about the 1963 March on Washington or Brown v. the Board of Education.

In Texas, a Republican state representative circulated a list of books he wants banned, which includes books by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Margaret Atwood, and John Irving. Virginia's winning GOP gubernatorial candidate, Glenn Youngkin, ran ads exalting an effort to censor "Beloved" by Toni Morrison. And schools officials in a Texas suburb argued that the restrictions required them to teach "both sides" of the Holocaust.

In light of this, it's not at all subtle what DeSantis is trying to do here: Intimidate schools into erasing much of American history. The Florida law bans teaching "that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems." Two of the most prominent historical examples of legal systems embedding racism are slavery and Jim Crow. If every Trump-loving parent can sue the school for teaching kids about the Civil War or the civil rights movement, some schools may decide it's not worth the hassle to teach American history in any meaningful way at all. Teachers and other school officials may leave the state or the profession, rather than spend every waking moment worrying about being sued by racist parents for doing the job of educating students.
 
Teaching white kids they are evil for being white and that their parents are born nazi scum if they don't espouse the evils of whiteness too ..... isn't history.

Why do you leftist keep trying to make the claim that it is??:confused:


Wokeness, CRT and all the other anti-white racist shit from the left should be banned in public schools.

Red states should in fact take measures otherwise and teach kids there is NO SHAME in nor should they carry any for their skin color, even if Democrats say otherwise.

So it's a bad thing to give parents some authority over what is taught in what passes for public schools (more like leftist indoctrination centers) these days?
 
Going after Commies has always been a great American pastime. Americans have probably put more of them into the closet, the ground, and in the hospital than any other nation on earth.:cool:
 
Try as he might, he'll never be white

If I were an american I'd be embarrassed by the past as well. Plus, americans dont like the truth or reality, most want to believe the fairytale that their country was always great.
 
God forbid we know the past

Let it remain as White MAN’S History forever

In fact! Can we erase some history that leaked out?
That “Trail of Tears” story has been in books long enough
It was an aberration!!

Communism is not at issue here either. We're talking about people who want to ban Margaret Atwood, FFS!
 
The D's are accustomed to losing the idiot vote.

So people who don't hate white people for being white as much as leftist are idiots now??

LMFAO!!! This is why your side is going to lose damn near everything in the next 3 years. :)

No, people who think CRT -- or anything else in the materials proposed for banning -- has anything to do with that are the idiots.

Rob justifies his hatred of white people for being white.....but it's still racism.



Knowing the past is fine, no need to demonize white people and shame their kids over it because they're white.

Can you quote any crt teachings that demonize kids for being white or did FOX tell you to think that?
 
That's because you're blinded by ideology, hate, and by your indoor relationship with the reality outside.

We all have that indoor relationship -- we're sitting at computers posting on a messageboard, as if that were real political activity.

:rolleyes: Oh, don't ask him! He'll only drag up yet again that out-of-context pic of a black woman telling people to "be less white"!
