It's amusing to me, Barry, that you believe every action that Republicans take is somehow nefarious, and everything Democrats do is good for us all, done with the best of intentions, for our own good, and pure as the driven snow.

It's amusing that you believe this.

Of course, that's to be expected of a guy who believes Democrats can do absolutely no wrong.

I guess you're not the skeptic and cynic I am.

You did everything but address the obvious issue in the post.

This is complete and total BS.  This is not what the law states.  Just like the so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill.  It's crap and you know it.  There's not a single thing in the bill to stop the input of factual information about history regardless of how it looks on anyone.  It's being used as a scapegoat.

Or like the article said, since the Act is so broad, they're scared to put anything about race in the textbooks due to being punished.

He is disingenuous at best. Deplorable people are basically lunatics.

False. Follow the law and there's nothing to worry about. They are using it as an excuse. They falsely claim the law is what's causing them to do that in order to defame the law to people who don't read it. It's a ploy.

Using it as an excuse for what?

The agenda of the left is to continue to destroy race relations by telling one group that they cannot be successful because another group won't let them. And idiots continue to believe it. 

So the right has zero to do with destroying race relations. Any racial issues I've had in life had zero to do with the left being in my ear. You're just regurgitating what the right tells you.

All races agreed race relations were better before the left introduced all the woke nonsense. What has the right done to make your life worse? What policy has the Republican Party put in place that has made your life harder?

So you think POC just started feeling like thus whe. The "woke nonsense" started? Are you really that dense?

Not what I said. There's always been issues. But most agree it's worse now than it's ever been. We have people stoking anger purposely. And apparently you're dense enough to believe that whitey is out to get you.

I'll grant you that you did not say that. You just insinuated it. Back to my original question, what law or policy have conservatives put in place that unjustly affects POC?

Weasels are going to weasel, and that is what is going on in Florida and Texas and any other red state, as these kinds of bills are carefully crafted to do what they do. Playing along is your job. Keep up the good work! 

Yes you always weasel

Florida rejected 42 math textbooks last year because they supposedly “incorporate[d] prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies.

“It’s happening now—Florida is reviewing potential social studies textbooks”

the rejected math books but are reviewing social studies books. The ones they rejected (math) were talking about non math related indoctrination material. This is a good thing. 
I’ve read this article twice and it’s just blabbering fear porn. It even quotes someone in the admin saying that isn’t what the law is doing and removing race from the civil rights lesson isn’t right. Yet you are still touting this as some big bad republican conspiracy. CRT and SEL shouldn’t be in Math books. Or in any books. Nothing wrong with getting rid of your Marxist propaganda from the school system. 

Well, Barry is full of poop, so there’s that…
