    Yet this is the only one we are talking about likely because it's the only one that exists.

    This is the school saying only this culture is with studying and all others are inferior.

    I notice you didn't ride to white studies. Never understood racism against whites it's all equally stupid.
    the superiority comes in saying no other race has experiences with studying.

    Are schools trying to make klansmen?

    They aren't being harmed. It's not harmful for this to be studied outside of school.
    This isn't a privilege or immunity offered by the state is the curriculum that is dictated by the state.

    Parents are given the choice to send their children to alternate schools. As opposed to parents having no choice but to accept government indoctrination.

    No, Im saying I dont have a problem with parents directing the indoctrination of their kids. I have a big problem with governments doing so.

    IMO, not nearly good enough. The entire education budget, at every level of government, should be immediately transferred to vested parent/guardian controlled targeted use accounts -- there should be no tax consequences -- ever. Of course this would deliver an immense windfall of income to teachers whenever they chose to start their own independent schools. I suppose the political factions could decide how to tax that bonanza of transferred wealth. The severity of the tax would depend on the perceived value of the teacher vote to each faction.

    Its basic neo marxist propaganda portrayed as education

    Marxist cultural analysis is a form of cultural analysis and anti-capitalist cultural critique, which assumes the theory of cultural hegemony and from this specifically targets those aspects of culture which are profit driven and mass-produced under capitalism.[1][2][3]

    That would not surprise me. There is a reason for the RP being known as The Stupid Party.

    A savvy RP would want this sort of thing to be included in American History curriculum:

    “Gary's doctrine of voting "early and often" changed the Republican majority of 2,300 in Edgefield to a Democratic majority of 3,900, thus giving Hampton a claim to the office of governor. It was Edgefield's majority alone which gave to Hampton a chance to claim to have been elected—the opportunity which he utilized so well.

    "It will be recalled that the tissue ballots were used in the heavy Negro counties for the purpose of having the white men to vote several tickets at once by folding them all together in a way to have them drop apart in the boxes. The law provided on closing the polls that if there were more ballots found in the box than there were names

    on the poll lists the ballots should be returned to the box and one of the managers should draw out the excess to be destroyed. It is needless to say that the Democratic white manager did the drawing and the Negroes used to be very much surprised that he always drew a thick Republican ticket to be burned.
    BLACK RECONSTRUCTION IN AMERICA 1860- 1880, W.E.B. Dubois, introduction by David Levering Lewis, the Free Press new York 1998.

    Of course, that would be far from the whole truth, which would have to include the eventual Republican collusion with racist Democrats to disarm black American Republicans and strip away their right to vote. I'm sure most current Republican politicians would prefer to evade that part of their party's history -- if that is possible.

    And where are the Mens studies? Cisgender studies? Heterosexual studies? Cultural studies are only for the "oppressed" and never the "oppressors".

    I didnt see anything that would be in violation of Florida's new legislation. Are you implying it would be excluded?

    That is why I asked for a quote and source showing that DeSantis has required for such an exclusion.

    Yeah, they make ridiculous claims about the Florida legislation, you provide the text of the legislation, and they got nothing. Just ridiculous claims. Facts arent important to them. Only the perception of the facts they work so feverishly to create.

    At least not until you disagree with it, then you want child services of the government to get involved

    Here is the latest.
    https://www.ecs.org/50-state-comparison-private-school-choice/

    That said, I ask again, what is the difference, they are all getting tax payer money, FTR, I insist your indoctrination claims are unfound, yet I consider private schools, especially the religious ones, entirely against them getting money, because they are private and should not get taxpayer money.

    Public schools operate under a mandate to teach all students within their school-district regardless of ability. “Charter schools” get to pick and chose from the student population and will teach their charges more effectively since they won’t have the “dead-weight” children cluttering up test scores.

    Yeah unless the parent has plenty of money to spread around. This nonsense about charter school superlatives is bent due to your own statement where they can oust the less gifted students. That said, no tax money for private schools.

    Usually selection of students for charter schools taking vouchers is by lottery if the demand for limited seats exceeds the supply.
