Florida could shield whites from ‘discomfort’ of racist past

Try this idiotic nonsense in the legislation:

"All instructional materials, as defined in s. 1006.29(2), used to teach reproductive health or any disease, including HIV/AIDS, its symptoms, development, and treatment, as part of the courses referenced in subsection (4) (3), must be annually approved by a district school board in an open, noticed public meeting."​

"Members of the instructional staff of the public schools, subject to the rules of the State Board of Education and the district school board, shall teach efficiently and faithfully, using the books and materials required that meet the highest standards for professionalism and historical accuracy, following the prescribed courses of study, and employing approved methods of instruction, the following:

(a) The history and content of the Declaration of Independence, including national sovereignty, natural law, self-evident truth, equality of all persons, limited government, popular sovereignty, and inalienable rights of life, liberty, and property, and how they form the philosophical foundation of our government.
(b) The history, meaning, significance, and effect of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States and amendments thereto, with emphasis on each of the 10 amendments that make up the Bill of Rights and how the constitution provides the structure of our government.
(c) The arguments in support of adopting our republican form of government, as they are embodied in the most important of the Federalist Papers.
(d) Flag education, including proper flag display and flag salute.
(e) The elements of civil government, including the primary functions of and interrelationships between the Federal Government, the state, and its counties, municipalities, school districts, and special districts.
(f) The history of the United States, including the period of discovery, early colonies, the War for Independence, the Civil War, the expansion of the United States to its present boundaries, the world wars, and the civil rights movement to the present. American history shall be viewed as factual, not as constructed, shall be viewed as knowable, teachable, and testable, and shall be defined as the creation of a new nation based largely on the universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence."​

Teachers won't be able to tell students about recent developments about COVID because the information hasn't been improved by the local school board. We couldn't tell students this video exists...

 

When has that actually happened? Sounds like a fake concern, at best, and a "don't teach these historical facts because some people are taking it hard" at worst.

 

Safe spaces by work terms does not allow for white participation. To call this a safe space bill is pure propaganda

 

Then what else is it? I don't see how anyone could define this as anything other than safe space legislation for white people, unless you have more info to share about the context.

 

Propaganda Alert!

From the legislation:

"An individual should not be made to feel discomfort guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race."​

OK

 

The proposed legislation is an unworkable disgrace.

Students should be taught the truth. If some get upset, so be it.

 

What is wrong with that?

 

Safe spaces segregate kids. Maybe you can point to where this segregates kids

 

No, racism is real, white and black. (Toss in Asian, too.)

 

That's not what a safe space is.

 

Creating laws to shield children from politically inconvenient teachings is censorship, and such censoring does create a "safe space" for them. Its a psychological safe space against feelings of discomfort.

Yes.

 

Non sequitur.

Now, to your question... racist kids of all races may feel discomfort by having to address their racism.

 

I guess poc's and progressive **** stains need to learn how to not be racist towards white people. Oh the horror.

 

I think you are just upset a state is refuse to cow tow to your progressive and racist bullshit and is just demanding equal treatment to everyone.

I know I know...that's scary.

 

That is only in your mind.
I do not see real racism in the United States and I am the one who has independent opinion.

You want racism because it helps Democrat party to win the election. I understand that, but come on.
Black people have more privileges' and opportunities then white people, that is not a racism.
There are no racially bias policies against African-Americans.

 

Well in all fairness you just negated your argument when you correctly stated that black people have more privilege's and opportunities then white people...

...that's bias or racism. depending on the motivation.

 

So you are one of those that automatically assume some kid is racist? This bill was designed to protect kids from people like you and I am glad it’s there

 

Politically inconvenient? That’s how you define teachers who might point to someone’s skin color as an example of historic faults that they are now responsible for?

and by agreeing with Mr. Langley you are also saying that not making a kid feel as a lesser to society based on skin color is not appropriate and you encourage the opposite.

 

There is no need for you to invent arguments and then pretend I made them.

Politically inconvenient can mean many things, and now the government is in charge of deciding which topics they consider as such (like racial justice) and censor it.

 

While it may be real, it's isn't going away. Never. Here's why, people still get some kind of mileage out of using it. Blacks can pretend that everything wrong with their lives isn't likely related to culture, but point the finger at white people while asking for money. White people can be on either side or no side, if they feel like virtue signaling they can get some watered down satisfaction of helping while doing nothing at all. Asians are not going to suddenly forget hundreds of years that separate them from each other, not happening. When people decide they aren't responsible for their actions or their problems it's going to annoy everyone else. Or you can just stop blathering about it and asking for a handout and pull a Morgan Freeman.

 

Let’s say this is a safe space (it not), but for the sake of debate I’ll say it is. If college safe space that center on a singular culture of said safe spaces is so good then why is one that focuses multicultural teachings bad? This bill legislates to teach African American contributions to society. It also says they can not make an individual feel guilt for their race.

what I’m getting at is what is so bad about that? And if it’s bad why are singular cultural safe spaces okay?

 

The only people that would feel discomfort are those who shouldn't. A true racist is completely comfortable being a racist.

 

No, a racist is typically very uncomfortable when their bigotry is exposed publicly, but this law is really not about that. This is about government mandated censorship aka Orwellian Law.
