@fritzie4art @Balldon64307120 is this real?

@jsiden88 @Balldon64307120 NYT:Florida officials have blocked the introduction of a new advanced-level high school course that teaches African American history. Governor Ron DeSantis' administration said the proposed course "lacks educational value and is contrary to Florida law". (Woke Act)

@fritzie4art @46mingo Otis Reading, Justice Marshall and on and on.

@kwconch815duval @46mingo DeSantis needs to take that course. He'd learn something.

@SusanFL727 Apologies to Norman Rockwell

@fritzie4art Ifn I didn’t know better I’d say that George Wallace was governor of Florida.

@ldhuddle And we know what happened to him.

@fritzie4art @ommassageyoga I recommend a bilateral partial countermeasure to the Ron DeSantis blight on Florida education & critical thinking. All FL bookstores: 1)establish display section containing all schools& libraries banned books. 2) Play recorded & Iive readings of banned book segments in stores.

@3beesbuzz @ommassageyoga If DeSantis follows in step with ND Congressman David Clemens, he will regulate and ban books from public libraries.

@fritzie4art Fritzie, sounds like you're a Floridian like me. I cannot stand our governor, and find myself wanting to apologize for his racist, sexist, misogynist behavior. How could anyone consider voting for him.

@WindDance79 Don't feel bad about DeSantis in Florida. Unfortunately, McCarthy is a spawn of California where I live.

@fritzie4art Esther Rolle and Sidney Poitier were born in the Bahamas. Ali was born in Louisville. I agree it’s terrible what DeSantis has done.

@AlfredoFberg I found Sidney Poitier: Miami Poitier was born unexpectedly in Miami while his parents were there on business;  Esther Rolle: Early life. Esther Rolle was born in Pompano Beach, Florida to Bahamian immigrants

@fritzie4art I wonder how many Floridians recognize that these infringements by DeSantis into education, where he has no background, are acts of revenge against what he considers woke, rather than reasoned acts of discernement from a man who cares about learning.

@jmw512 "The Florida governor appears to believe that government exists to advance his ideas — and to suppress dissent." Not much outcry from Floridians about losing First Ammendment Rights.. but Disney World???!

@fritzie4art Bo Diddley? Come on

@JasonFickel You're right! Bo Diddley was from Mississippi! I saw him in 2008 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach a few months before he died. He sat during his performance and looked very tired. He signed a tee shirt for me. I should have known he was from Mississippi!

@DenbrotS If DeSantis proposed plan is enacted, Florida students will never learn of them in a school classroom.
