Zone1 Florida approves Black history standards decried as 'step backward'

[okfine]

I truly do not think FL public school teachers will 'whitesplain black history'.

Won't happen.

Teachers are leaving Florida. The Gov and it's politicians are the cause.

Fortunately the internet is a thing now. Knowledge is just a phone away.

That may be true, but this should not be taught in schools. Because kids will ask questions and the teachers can speak the truth in Florida or they can be fired.

Florida codifies racism and lies in its public schools.

In this case the racist lie that enslaved Americans were ‘happy’ and ‘content’ in bondage.

OH NOOOOOES!!! HOW WILL WE TEACH THE NEXT GENERATION OF BLACK KIDS TO HATE WHITE PEOPLE LIKE WE DO!!!!!

Did it ever occur to any of you why so much damage control is required?

Counting down until Corporations consider Florida Degrees to be judged on a different scale. It won’t be long before companies consider a degree from Florida to be a step down. A Doctorate will be considered the equivalent of a Masters elsewhere. A Masters would be the same as a Bachelor’s degree from another state and so on.

Even if it isn’t an official policy, it will be viewed that way soon enough.

I think this law affects public primary and secondary schools. I'm not aware of any state that controls the curriculum of colleges and universities. Let's not get our panties in a wad unnecessarily.

And as usual the racist right attempts to defend the indefensible.

Pretty much the gist of the OP's ''concern...''

I have faith in public school social science and history instructors.

They will go through that law like a buzz saw in a sugar cane field.

Nothing occurs to those who don't think.

True.

And the same can be said of Florida students applying to universities outside of Florida – colleges and universities that will consider Florida high school graduates ignorant, unprepared, and unworthy of admission.

Like Chicago Public School "graduates".

No.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

No.

Because the Chicago "graduates" can't even read.

Chicago, Kentucky?

Chicago, Illinois.
Run by democrats who are failing to teach black students to read.

Chicago isn't the topic of this thread. I suggest you go read the opening post before replying in this thread.

For shame on the FL DOE for not standing up to DeSantis and saying, "No, not here, not now, not ever."
