And of course, none of this information they are so afraid of can possibly be obtained from the Internet. Or a library. Not that the students are likely to learn it, whether it’s taught to them or they seek it out themselves.
I wish I could say this was unique in American life or a clear sign of the end times or part of the death throes of democracy, but I remember this kind of shit when I was a captive of the public school system. It seldom erupted at a school board meeting but only because we all knew Marxism was Satanism was anti-God, Mom, and Apple pie, so we only had to worry about it being taught in godless states, like where the Yankees lived.
It’s actually a sign of progress that this is going on in Florida.
Maybe we should just designate which of the laboratories of democracy are the ones allowed to show what happens when the lunatics take over. Save the rest of them the trouble of repeating the experiments.
