    The left doesn’t actually understand what’s being studied which is why they can’t see the racism. But regardless, society does and until the day comes the left can be trusted to actually do what these classes are claimed by the left to be…they gone. This is a good thing for everyone.

    And fascism is a left wing thing.

    I think you are confusing a ‘University’ with the mass production line in a factory…

    Whom is being discriminated against in this “racism” you’re talking about?

    Society isn’t a single politician from FL — or the legislature

    If you want to go by “society” that is the person the people have elected to represent all of the United States — which is Biden, and prior to that was Clinton, Obama x2, Bush, Gore, Clinton x2…

    Noticing anything?

    “Fascism is a set of right-wing political beliefs that includes strong control of society and the economy by the state, a powerful rolefor the armed forces, and the stopping of political opposition.”

    https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/fascism

    “any
    ideology or movement inspired by Italian Fascism, such as German National Socialism; any right-wing nationalist ideology or movement with an authoritarian and hierarchical structure that is fundamentally opposed to democracy and liberalism

    Not that any of that will make a whit of difference to a closed, uneducated mind…

    How did the college board blink, exactly? Do they have the power to override the governor?

    This is a big L for truth. The content that DeSantis says he takes issue with isn't even in the course.

    Here's what really happened. DeSantis said "I need to do something that makes republicans very happy. I know. I'll do something anti-black." Then he directed his minions to make up things they don't like about the AP course so he could justify killing it.

    It's always disingenuous with this stuff. Nobody is saying you can't have a book they are saying the tax payer won't buy it for you.

    If you want to study something that's stupid and wrong you can.

    I think the anger comes from the idea that if it isn't taught in school it isn't legitimate. In which case it belongs in school as much as flat Earth or creationism does. That's why the school blinked. It's not worth fighting for because it's bunk.

    It’s a left wing thing, the propaganda you linked doesn’t prove what you think it does.

    thread can end with the above comment. Nothing more to say as Democrat voters again comment on headlines they read, not facts

    What did I leave out?

    How are you determining what society wants outside of what the governor is doing? Wouldn’t a more accurate representation be all of American society?

    California? Well, that is not fair. California's scores suck every year.

    I care very little for what you believe. I asked a question to which you have refused to answer so your opinion is summarily dismissed.

    After we have been repeatedly assured that there is no CRT being taught at the K-12 level. Weird!

    I understand why they blinked. Their course, as first proposed, was pure wokeness.

    The very definition of the "down low" was created because of the black history that attacked and abused LGBT folks in the black community. Somehow, adding a module that either celebrates this, or condemns this either way is indoctrinate, and the college board was right to remove it regardless.
