So they lie about Floridas standards and then want the justice department to illegally enforce whatever a tiny minority in the house wants taught their way?
F off.
Ron Desantis, like so many other Republicans, believes that the tactics the MSM-Democrats have used against Trump was a one-off, a special case, an isolated event.
They will soon find out how wrong they are.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
You sure can tell who the tyrants in politics are these days.
Why do whites put up with this crap? The Black Caucus is racist to its core. How could it not be? Either whites need their own caucus or the Black Caucus needs to be disbanded. It is in essence a government sponsored anti-white group.
In keeping with the Democrats’ view that the Justice Department is a political tool.
This kertuffle is one to remember because it is a classic example of the left’s habit of manufacturing a fake “issue” out of absolutely nothing. Less than nothing. A lie.
Slaves did all manner of work in slave societies throughout history, including the antebellum South. The very people who are straining their miniscule brains trying to inflate one sentence plucked out of Florida’s standards document into an attack line will turn around at a moment’s notice and insist on recognition of the fact, for example, that slave labor helped build the U.S. Capitol, with slaves performing a lot of highly skilled work. And the U.S. Capitol is just one highly visible example. Slaves were a third of the southern population. They provided a major share of the labor, including skilled labor, in every field that did not involve high levels of formal education.
Were the majority of slaves consigned to plantation labor? Yes. But large plantations were sophisticated complexes dependent on myriad skilled trades, mostly performed by slaves.
Which brings me to a perhaps useful suggestion. Perhaps someone with the necessary skills can go to the websites for the prominent historical sites that are open as an historical attraction: Colonial Willliamsburg, Mount Vernon, Monticello ... and on and on and on, ad nauseum. Virtually all of them emphasize the role of slave labor, not only for drudge labor in the fields but for myriad sophisticated tasks. The era in which the tour guides and docents largely backgrounded the slave labor and referred quaintly to “servants” once you stepped inside the big house is long gone. In fact, the larger, more developed, and more visited the site — the top tier tourist destinations — the likelier it is that the contributions of slave labor will be a major point of emphasis. The activist tribe has been doing tap dances for decades now insisting that this very point be increasingly highlighted.
So: how about rounding up these living history talks, supplemented by a few site visits and recorded chats with the interpreters, supplemented by lecture clips from lefty historians when they touch on the subject, and putting these into a five minute piece on the critical role of slave labor in the skilled trades?
Are the lefties now insisting that the interpretation at all antebellum historical sites now be systematically falsified to conceal the contributions of slave labor?
No, of course not. The lefties want to manufacture a hate filled attack line out of a lie, and to surround it with enough venom that people are warned to suspend all higher thought processes for the duration of the latest two minute hate. The initial goal was to torpedo the DeSantis campaign, which at the time appeared to have some potential of becoming a threat. The broader goal is to reassert hard left control over the development of Florida’s educational standards — and to that end, the lefties want to ignore the fact that, on this point, the evil DeSantis standards say exactly the same thing as the lefty-approved AP standards. But that doesn’t matter when the left is running a two minute hate. The mob is being indoctrinated to howl lies on command.
The Congressional Black Caucus: the most useless institution in Washington, DC.
