"Ron #DeSantis is campaigning for president promising to 'stop woke history' – stop teaching about #slavery and its legacy of #InstitutionalRacism. #AdamHochschild found the history curriculum DeSantis wants—the Hillsdale College '#1776Curriculum.' He reports on what’s in it—and what’s not."

«Pouvez-vous imaginer un cours d’histoire des États-Unis où on ne dirait pas un mot sur l’#esclavage ni sur le mouvement des #DroitsCiviques?

Impossible, n’est-ce pas? C’est pourtant l’exercice auquel doivent se prêter les professeurs d’histoire dans les #écoles secondaires de #Floride depuis l’adoption du #StopWOKEAct par le gouverneur républicain Ron #DeSantis.»

It's still legal to discuss race and #racism in college classrooms in #Florida! For now.

My latest for The Mary Sue on the status of the #Desantis administration's #StopWokeAct:

https://www.themarysue.com/judges-block-stop-woke-act-florida-desantis/

Eleventh Circuit Affirms Decision to Preliminarily Block Unlawful “Stop W.O.K.E.” Censorship Law

"In an important victory for professors, other educators, and students across Florida, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals left in place a preliminary injunction blocking Florida’s HB 7 — also known as the Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act (Stop W.O.K.E. Act) — from being enforced in institutions of higher education, pending appeal. The procedural ruling maintains the preliminary injunction until the Eleventh Circuit issues a decision on the merits.

…

The plaintiffs are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, the #ACLU of #Florida, the Legal Defense Fund (LDF), and pro bono counsel Ballard Spahr. Florida is one of more than a dozen states across the country that have passed at least 15 different laws aimed at censoring discussions around race and gender in the classroom.

If Ron DeSantis has his way, what his board did at New College will happen at every public university in Florida.

A new DeSantis-backed bill would ban gender studies, “intersectionality,” and “critical race theory” from the state’s public colleges and universities.

After the group that administers the test criticized him, the Florida governor questioned the “need” for SAT tests in his state.

@gratefuldread They also didn't block individual AP culture classes for #AsianAmerican studies or for cultural studies classes for a wide variety of #European countries.

Screw #AfricanAmerican students. After all, Ron Deathsentence told us in so many words that #woke in #Florida means #Black and mixed people, and he said Florida is where the woke go to die. I take that statement LITERALLY. I must.

2/ “‘Almost all of #Florida’s painful racial past has been whitewashed, marginalized or buried intentionally,’ Dunn wrote in his book, A History of Florida: Through Black Eyes. ‘But I was born here. I know Florida’s flowers and her warts.’

Dunn is one of eight plaintiffs in a lawsuit over DeSantis’s law, formally the Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act, which also applies to public university professors.” #MarvinDunn #RonDeSantis #StopWokeAct #StopWrongsToOurKids #BlackHistory #Racism

“Dunn was born in an orange grove barn in central #Florida… He & his family harvested crops at a time when the Sunshine State had some of the nation’s strictest Jim Crow segregation laws. Dunn lived that history up close; he remembers being forced to use the ‘colored’ beach & drinking fountain growing up.”

Now the professor emeritus is defying #DeSantis —whose #StopWokeAct censors #BlackHistory in schools— by taking high school students on statewide #TeachTheTruth tours. https://wapo.st/3XOY5j0
