Fascism and banning free thought in Florida

No that's what happens when vote for a government to rein in the excesses of teachers unions in miseducating children. Fascism is what you have when a small group of so-called educators try to dictate to parents what their grade schoolers will learn against the wishes of parents to say nothing of common sense. If you can't teach the reading writing and mathematics you should damn well leave more complicated things like human sexuality the hell alone.

 

If you do not want your thoughts monitored, you should wear a tin foil hat. They can't ban them, if they can't read them.

 

And you're sure those 11 others AREN'T teachers.
P.S. That's probably not how it's going to be done.

 

It doesn’t really matter if they’re teachers, does it. Minority rule is not democracy, and far more than 11 people are protesting RW extremism. And this is just the beginning.

 

Prove it.

 

Then homeschool.

 

You win brownie points for one of my favorite German songs ever.

 

Prove what?

 

Is there a point here?

 

Sarcasm is lost on you, eh?

 

Yes. It is a reply to your question. Figure it out.

 

It's nonsensical rambling.

 

Yep.

 

I’m not at all surprised that democracy is “nonsensical rambling” to you.

 

Your list is mostly fake.

 

People are and in droves. Worse for public schools home schoolers do better on almost all testing especially STEM.

 

Nonsense. And he left out a lot.

 

Except you arent promoting Democracy you're promoting rule by a small handful of largely unelected bureaucrats. Desantis on the other hand is doing precisely what he was elected to do.

In public schools in some places. I agree that's not really a ban neither is removing Porn from grade schools.

 

According to documents released by the Florida Freedom to Read Project and first reported by The Miami Herald, the book was restricted at Bob Graham Education Center in Miami Lakes after one parent complained in March that it “is not educational and have indirectly [sic] hate messages.” The same parent complained about four other books: The ABCs of Black History, Cuban Kids, Countries in the News: Cuba, and Love to Langston, citing “indoctrination” and “CRT.” The complaint also misidentified Oprah Winfrey as the author of The Hill We Climb.

MiniTrump and the FL legislature have created an environment where a presumably illiterate redneck can get an aspirational book banned by claiming it foments the very things it decries.

 

Good song - horrible human tragedy
