If you don’t want your children to learn about actual history, it says a lot about you. I wish it were hard to believe that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants a law that prohibits making people “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin.”
Call it the Snowflake law. It literally bans things that make white people uncomfortable.
Of course, Nikole Hannah-Jones points out that lessons that “glorify enslavers and colonizers and downplay the contributions of POC would do just that. So, ok, sure!” Expect a LOT of lawsuits if that nonsensical, unconstitutional, and unenforceable law passes…
Indeed, white kids feeling uncomfortable about how classroom history has been whitewashed (yeah, I went there) because they learned real history elsewhere could also sue.
