Yes! I'm so glad these students are standing up for their rights!!!
YES!
The younger generations are going to change much, we should support them! ✊
We don’t want lgtbq being injected into African American history
@Sara Mill like you aren't evil.
I agree! May God bless their journey to a better country and world. 🙏
"we're watching a dumb man double down on a stupid decision" brilliant!
Stupid? More like malicious and fascist
and very much intentional and sign of what's to come. He must be stopped.
@@pickledragonrebel and psychotic
It's definitely Stupid and Alot of other words.
This is what I came into to comment on - best quote of the year, imo
I loved that part too.😂
Go Elijah, Juliette and Victoria!!! Proud of you for standing up to DeSantis!!! You got this!!!
If learning history doesn't make you uncomfortable at some point, you're being lied to.
👏👏👏
Children already go through so much; they are not adults. No one is questioning Black History; Black communities need to stop acting as if the world is attacking them. Americans are asking for simple education that focuses on Reading, Math, Science, Writing, Physical Fitness, Health up to 8th grade. After 8th grade these children are a bit older to start electing Race theory, Ideology, Women's study, Sexual Orientation with permission of their parents. The books in mid school and high school still need to be revised.
@@rosegarden7517 shut it karen
@@rosegarden7517 Wow, You do not sound like you understand the harm you are advocating for. You would deny the realty and truth of whole groups of people including the children themselves. At the same time you have the gull to try to speak for all Americans when the words you spew are filth unworthy of utterance in a public forum.
🤔 D. L. Hughley said it best, It was illegal for slaves to learn, now it's illegal to learn about slaves.
It's slightly worse than that. The current government of Florida seems to be trying to lower the population closer to that level. The person of Florida should only learn as much as the government thinks they should.
MLK Day and Juneteenth are Federal Holidays and teachers in Florida are not allowed to tell their students why they are Federal Holidays.
@@mikemccoy3430DeSantis and crew are terrified of a multi-cultural, diverse USA. That sounds like a “them” problem.
Please rest a sure he buried his lustful desire to become the president. He's literally coming after anyone who speaks out against him. He's the king of cancel culture...
@@mikemccoy3430 You know what federal holidays mean don't you, unless you work for the government or state you don't get it.
Keeping people ignorant is what dictators do.
Which is crazy considering the state and a certain demographic of people in Florida who were always up in arms about a leader just 90 minutes from Florida.
Thus why the uneducated are the target for Republicans. As long as they are uneducated, they can tell them things that they will eventually accept as truth. Even when someone tells them facts and the truth, the uneducated will be indoctrinated to the point where every fact told to them is a lie, and that the lies they have been put into their mind are the truth. And let us not forget the various heinous acts the Republicans will get the uneducated to do.
💯
that... and blame those that are not ill informed and point out the real truth the problem
Oh come off it they are dictators because they won't cater to African Americans. This is left wing brainwashing.
I’m a college professor: I’d love to have these three kids in my class any time. It would be an absolute privilege. It’s your loss, Florida.
It is that. I’m a university professor, in Florida. It is definitely our loss. Educators down here are fighting the best we can but we could sure use help from educators, parents, students, and everyone across the country. We are just the testing ground. There’s a good chance DeSatan will be president.
@@ellengrace4609Stay strong and keep up the fight. ✊
@Steve Webster Have since America opened schools, it's called "History". That's the point... American history books are written about white history only, with a quick blurb about American Indians and African Americans. American history is ALL of that.
@stevewebster8183 What is and has been taught since schools in this country have existed is ALL WHITE HISTORY. Don"t you know that? If you do not then you have lived your entire life thus far very clueless. (thst's putting it mildly) What is wrong with you?
@@opinenommmm.we do have white people studies....its called European history as well as United States history. Who do you think wrote it and whose version does it cover?
I'm in my 40's when I was in high school we didn't have any AP classes (in my school). I had to bike ride to a local community College to take classes my school didn't offer. Shout out to kids wanting to learn.

When she was asked if she really KNEW what CRT is and was fully willing to admit that she wasn't fully sure because of the lack of real answers that she's been given I wanted to cheer. The pursuit of knowledge is an admirable thing, and so is the ability to admit when you don't know something.
Well when you admit you don't know something........ then don't speak out like you have knowledge of it.
@@savannah505 They are speaking out about the fact that they want to learn more not the fact that they know about it SMH.
@@savannah505 So you racists think that by not admitting ignorance that makes you authoritative? That tracks.
@@captainjefferies9047 Soooo, was that English?? But I think I got your message clear enough, no, that means I have an opinion based on years of experience. You know, .........real life stuff. What's yours based on?
Even if they know about it, admitting it on TV is gonna result in: 1. Teachers at their school getting fired 2. DeSantis using them as proof that crt is taught at school 3. More fear mongering from Right 4. More backward legislation in FL.
FL is one of the very rare places in all 1st world countries that actually want to dumb down their students or hinder knowledge in any way. MAGA, you say?? When was America ever about this??
Controlling education is more Communist or Fascist than anything. Democracy NEEDS fidelity of information to survive, which is why we have FOIA. Democracy is the ONLY form of government that REQUIRES its citizens to be well educated to survive. Get educated, ppl, and understand why DeSantis is not about democracy. Or, I guess for you Floridans, it's too late.
The parents of these three should be so proud. They each did an excellent job articulating their concerns about this issue.
Loved this!!! Great job everyone and I would love to to watch more of these📣Let the youth speak📣
These kids will face a lot of backlash, especially the young lady in the middle. Unfortunately. History proves this out. I hope she is supported and stands strong.
Backlash from whom??

Backlash from whom?
@@goombapizza6335 Racists.
Dems get majority of the vote and her and the future democrats will only continue to grow. History will look bad for Republicans and they know it
As a former educator, to hear what governor Ron Desantis is doing to our educational system is scary and appalling. Where does it stop? I applaud these students for taking a stand for equality and their basic right to be educated on all historical facts.
It stops when people vote these tyrants out of office. Of course Ron has gerrymandered Florida to the point where it is almost impossible for him to lose. When These young kids are old enough they need to get out and vote…vote like your lives depend on it because it does
You would be surprised how many educators in Florida support DeSantis! I have some in my subdivision & they teach in our local school district.
"Where does it stop?"
Concentration camps.
@@sonyabolden9652 I think he is more dangerous than Trump.

Preventing racially charged courses, not scary.
The idea that a teacher feels this way is both
Congratulations to you all for being brave. You are our future!
Yep, they have more courage than most adults
If DeSantis was a teacher, Lord bless the students!!!😩👎😵😵💫👹😡💩
Yu're Our Future And More To Come in Life For Young People.
“Watching a dumb man double-down on a stupid decision.” Best quote of the interview!
Totally. That was so succinctly expressed.
DeSantis has 2 university degrees, one from Yale, yet he wants to dumb down these students' educations all for his political agenda, which is extremely condescending and dictatorial.
@@robynliteracy7057 that's what they do in North Korea...the select few are paid well, get the best education and have more choices than the regular people.
What can we do about this reputation that we have really dumb people here in Florida?
DeSantis: hold my beer!
@@robynliteracy7057 Yale isn't a good school. It's a rubber stamp for spoiled brats.
We live in a country that is now choosing ignorance over intelligence. We are literally rolling the clock back and it's devastating. What's crazy is it's like they are realizing these new generations are more aware of the world and they are scared they will lose their power. I hate it for them but these new generations are gonna fix a lot of mistakes the olds ones made and I super excited about it.
The kids of the 1960's said the same thing. Every young generation thinks they are so much smarter than the last. Only the Democrat's want ignorance, and they have been pushing hate along with ignorance forever!!! And yes the 1% do want to keep all the pawns fighting each other so we dont fight them screwing us and rebel!
Exactly!
We're all stupid, please come join us...should be their moto! 🤣😅
Not if people keep voting republican. We'll go nowhere
Rolling back the clock is the entire point of the Make America Great Again. They admit America has problems, but their solutions are all from before women or people of color could vote. To them, that's when America was great.
This is one of the reasons why the world sees Americans as stupid ,particularly by Europeans who (not all ) dislike Americans
As a Floridian, most of us raise our children like these 3 brilliant ones ! Most kids are bright and understanding. To remove their ability to deeper understand history is essentially controlling their capabilities regarding education!

@@User-mb1tz and that's funny to you? Gee, tell me you're disgusting and evil without telling me you're disgusting and evil...
So glad we're hearing from the students affected on this important issue.
So sad these 10th graders are way smarter than our governor.
I think the girls are juniors or seniors. They're already in AP classes. But the point still stands.
@@goombapizza6335 Is there a rule that only Jr’s and Sr’s get to be in AP classes? Because I was in AP classes as early as 9th or 10th grade. And this can’t be a time difference thing given that I only just graduated so I’m not that much older than these kids.
These teens are awesome!! I'm so proud of them for standing up!
Democrats sure do keep racist alive in America
The middle young lady hit it right, when she said Desantis & co. are afraid of change! Desantis wants to keep the current power & political structure!! Intelligent young students like these three, are our nations saviors!💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🌊🌊
You mean the token white girl?💁🏿♂️🤣
100% nothing but truth right here!
No other way to say it!
is may not be about CHANGE, rather injecting baseless fear to heighten white supremacy. We are seeing DeSantis taking the Nazi Fascist Playbook and applying it to all of Floridians' lives.
And it’s sad because historically human beings as a species have survived by adapting to change instead of resisting it. And when you really think about it it’s stupid to fear change because change is inevitable, if it wasn’t nobody would ever grow old.
I’m glad to see this message being brought to our students. The same students that will be voting very soon.
They won't be voting in Florida, though. Chances are, they'll take any opportunity they can find to move out of state, and I certainly wouldn't blame them. And given that they're AP students, they shouldn't have too much of a problem getting offers from several universities across the country which they can choose from, if they cast their net wide enough.
That's why small town rural America remains staunch in its "outdated" views and ways, because anyone with half a brain or any discriminated characteristic (such as being rainbow, or even Black), gets out as soon as they have an opportunity. It's not because those communities don't change, it's because they ostracise anything different that emerges within them. What's happening in Florida is merely the same dynamic playing out on a state level and, as a result, there won't be any new young voters around to change the voting demographics, because the majority of them will leave in search of somewhere more accomodating.
The few reasonable people that do remain in a backwards area always get balanced out by the arrival of bigoted regressives who left more inclusive communities because they felt personally attacked by the existence of diverse people and the equal rights that were afforded to them. And in Florida, there's no shortage of regressive influxes because all the bigoted old people think it's an attractive place to retire, so honestly Florida is going to get worse and worse unless young people commit themselves to suffering its regression until they have enough voting power to change things. However, that's not really a fair ask of anyone, so I certainly don't blame any young Floridian who makes the prudent and self-preserving decision to leave.

I am 62 and I was deeply disappointed and deceived that all of the horrifying Black History was kept from us in school 😮 just the extent of what I learned was a lot to digest. To this day I can’t believe the treatment and to still be an issue is mind boggling. Theirs is a great story of triumph over the white people. Nothing stopped them from becoming better people and better Americans. Adversity was and is the Black peoples power.
Better presidents, singers, dancers, doctors, nurse’s, athletes better looking, stronger, more generous I could go on and on. Replacement Theory 😂😂😂 that’s already done ✅ thank God ! Open your racist 90 yo blue eyes with gray hair zombies and die already. 😮

Absolutely ! ✌

It is so reassuring that the next generation of people are stepping up. Great kids. Parents must be so proud!
These students are brilliant! I'm so proud of them and what they're doing! Our future lies with this generation and these three represent some of the best defense against those who are determined to silence history. Thank you!
He can't stop people from learning. He can only control the curriculum. The internet, the community, the nation, the world offers all kinds of education. It would make me want to read everything I could on the subject just to see what this man is so afraid of.

Teachers, students, parents…STRIKE! Florida is not DeSantis. Florida has been a thriving state long before DeSantis. He’s just cashing in on what was already there because he can. Because he was voted into power & is using it with malevolence. Vote him out of Florida & heavens vote him out of the Presidential primary.
He will never be president!
Amen!
There is no striking in FloriDUH. Striking is immediate grounds for dismissal and the “unions” must follow all the rules of engagement ,while the Dept of Ed can easily call an impasse whenever the union proves a point. I’ve taught there for almost 2 decades and left because teachers can’t earn a living wage. Most educators must supplement their income with addt’l jobs. Having an MA makes little difference. I know principals who have left because this is a pressure cooker. DUHSantis wants to turn FL into another MI or AL. So much for the “Sunshine/Right to Work State”. 😢 Yet I hope that these young voices can continue to advocate for themselves and have the best legal rep necessary to allow history to be taught with transparency.
Thank you for telling it like it is!!!
@@sunsetkizz1 thanks for the insight. I’ve wondered why the teachers don’t strike. I’m a teacher too but not in FL anymore. I don’t fully understand what you said about the unions but I’ll look it up. Can students & parents strike? Do you know?
These kids represent all that DeSantis and crew fear, intelligent ppl who actively engage in critical thinking, embrace learning the truth (both positive/painful) & don’t fear a diverse, multi-cultural world. I couldn’t be more proud of them!
So true!
These kids are woke meaning wide awake and see the racism and bigotry emanating from the Republican party as the source of this nations sickest most miserable policy. Don't let Republicans continue to steal words and repeat them over and over till we stop using the word. Republicans can burn books and ban books and there is not much the left can do about it but letting them steal words out of the air then assign the word a racist or anti science or any medical meaning can easily be stopped. The other day I took a jab at these neo fascist attempt to destroy the word woke which suggests right wingers are asleep and while I groomed my eyebrows I noticed the transition taking place as right wing Christian Nationalist kept say quid pro quo over and over while waiting for a racist politician to explain how liberals want the govern to put its hand out and lift the poor up onto their feet and with affirmative action arm the poor with knowledge and empower the poor with with some free stuff like an Obama phone or a free lunch so the poor can finally stand their freaking ground against the folk who would commit genocide now that Reagan's compassionate conservatism has been crucified by the radical right and reassigned with mutilating surgery to change the natural green landscape into a toxic hellscape like some thing new and rotten some new deal Republican aethiest have proven to support while the children get left behind and happiness and love give way to right wing bigotry and progressively evil evolution of their Godless authoritarian cancel culture that uses the bible to crap on the food and stamps on all that is faithful and everyone who should be saved but are now victims of white nationalist sht hole country being seized by the lowest information con artists ever to fraud their way into the right wing hoax that is the Republican failure to recognize our Democracy and respect our flag and show their alliegence to the spirit of our constitution and inflating the poor people life raft so it doesn't leave the most needy drown in the national debt without America first doing reparations and proving big government knows what is by far right.

These three young people go against the Christian Taliban's doctrine and attempt to destroy democracy!
Exactly!
I went to school in LA county. During HS I saw the TV show Roots and it opened my mind about the horrors of slavery. In history they glossed over it. When I pressed the teacher about it in class and wanted to know more and why it’s not discussed in American history the teacher was upset and wouldn’t go into it. I thought it was strange then and now it’s happening again. Fortunately in college we were able to discuss it. Our text was “A People’s History of the United States”, by Howard Zinn. Will that be band too?
Wow! What an example you are giving all of us. Us is adults that I’m writing about that aren’t doing anything. So very proud of y’all!
Haymarket Books in Chicago is offering free Ebooks to Florida students covering the historical topics that are being banned.
That's great. I'm sometimes afraid that for most people, whining on social media is as far as they go, instead of rolling up their sleeves and engaging in positive action.
That is fantastic!
Great
Wow, these young men and women are so inspiring it makes me tear up. I love your generation, you will do great things!
As the guardian of one AP student and another interested in fashion design, talking about where they will attend college next year and beyond...I know they've already crossed off Florida and Texas as places to live, work and attend school. For heaven's sake! Why would he do this?
Because he’s a sociopathic POS
I am so proud of these young people. Thank you for speaking out, DeSantis is scandalous.
The entire Republican Party is scandalous.
DeSatan is pure evil 😈 and a racist monster!
Ron DeSantis is awesome. More of a man than entire Dem party could ever be. He honors FL voters wishes. Not some trendy movement.
scandalous is putting it mildly. He set up mostly black men to be arrested for voter fraud after the state gave then voter registration cards just for political gain. That's sick, sinful and criminal
@@ST-gh8zd more of a man? What do you even mean?
I love that tshirt saying black history is American history ‼️🤠🍕💜💖💯
Ask my kids and they will tell you the same....
I’m so proud of these students!
I remember watching Alex Haley's 'Roots' as a child growing up in England in 1977. I'd never even seen a real life black person at that point in my life but I was greatly affected by the experience and it stimulated a lifelong interest the subject of slavery as well as the wider black experience in America (I ended up getting my degree in American Studies and have lived over half my life in the States). This is such an important topic for all Americans to be taught. DeSantis is simply pursuiing these sorts of topics as a way to appeal to a racist base of people and divide the rest of us.
I really think Desantis and the far right are really afraid of young people empathizing and identifying with the stories of slaves AND abolitionists, both black and white. Just like you, young kids can learn from historical books and entertainment and with white kids really cheer for and identify with white abolitionists, they DON’T want those values to be carried on.
It's very strange to me to find a white person who's never seen or grown up with any POC. I grew up very poor in the Midwest, was a minority white girl. I didn't feel like a minority, nor of a majority. The black kids accepted me just like I did them... we were all KIDS of similar economical background. I had more friends there than when I'd moved to a different neighborhood, different high school. (It was actually known as the bottomost HS in the city.)
I still miss those kids!
FINALLY! Someone has the forthrightedness to ask the kids! 😊

These PA courses are vital to children from families that are not RICH, Students can literally tens of thousands of dollars by taking these classes while in high school... but Ron doesn't care. His goal is to insure that every student in FLORIDA is as RACIST and IGNORANT has he is.
No he just Dosent want the left wing to take over and tell the rest of us what to do.i was walking once in my building I used to live in and the doorman who I hardly knew came up to me and out of the blue called me a racist. I am white . That's just as racist in it's own wah
We get exactly what "we" vote for. A ton of older adults, were not taught with social, emotional, learning models. They fear things and do not process their own fear. Fearing racial ignorance enough to now want to learn more. I empathy but have my own standards: I do not allow fear to determine my life, I process my fear, and move on. A lot of older adults do not.

A society that doesn't learn from its history will suffer the consequences of repeating its mistakes.
Mikko, then bring the books back!
@@spaceballs44 Ignore him that's a DESANTIS bot...
Are you afraid he'll reinstate slavery?
@@mikko3 yes it is. They used the banning of CRT as a code to ban the teaching of black history. Them CRT bills have a list of words teachers can not use, that is vital in teaching black history. That got the teachers so scare to even come close in teaching the subject and that's what they wanted. It was the plan. The "teachings" of black history will be so water down and white washed it will not be black history. And also the banning of certain books helps with that too.
@@advancedsettings9699 wouldn't you like that huh?
Proud of these kids. Stand up young people. You are wise , where many adults are lacking.
I don't know. I'd like a job working the beaches of Florida for The Department of Sexual Identity.
@@johnwattdotca what do you try to accomplish by saying that?
@@Power_to_the_people567 Oh no, a sane reply. I wasn't expecting that. Maybe I commented too soon, not waiting for the jaded if not hateful and racist comments that are sure to follow. Any chance you got some comedy out of it? I imagine myself having a vehicle I can drive on the beach, tearing around the dunes and towing boarders on the surf, with a nice big tent like a sultan by an oasis, with refreshments, and a big sign with gold letters out front, saying there are shares in sunken gold waiting to be discovered for sale. Okay... okay.... I'm not sure what I'm trying to accomplish now. I wish it was real, just like Cake by the ocean with hot people hoping. Thanks for asking.
@@johnwattdotca Troll
@@marlenestewart7772 I see you like to reveal the limits of your mentality. You must be one of the adults you mention, lacking in wisdom. If you are serious about Governor DeSantis, you're going to be very disappointed. When Georgia had their recent run-off election, voting out two Republican senators and electing two Democrats, said to give the Democrats control of the Senate, did you see that as the start of the Republican Party coming down, with Trump losing the election and mid-terms defying "tradition" with Democrat gains? The same thing continues, only Republican in-fighting is growing.
I’m glad the students are speaking out against DeSantis! More students need to do this.
Children already go through so much; they are not adults. No one is questioning Black History; Black communities need to stop acting as if the world is attacking them. Americans are asking for simple education that focuses on Reading, Math, Science, Writing, Physical Fitness, Health up to 8th grade. After 8th grade these children are a bit older to start electing Race theory, Ideology, Women's study, Sexual Orientation with permission of their parents. The books in mid school and high school still need to be revised.
When kids make more sense than adults
2:29 Joy, this is excellent 🙌🏽
Yes it is ❤️
Joy is a Racist !!!
I am proud of these three kids, and that the white girl has the intellectual guts and has solidarity to _all_ her fellow Americans' ancestoral stories in arriving at this point in time makes me especially pround.
At 68 yrs old, I entered college just at the end of civil-rights & anti-war youth movements, and thought we were going to soon slay injustice. Then came Reagan, from whom we have not only not recovered, but we are sinking ever deeper in bigotry and anti-intellectualism.
This current generation coming of age gives me hope. We must support, encourage and listen to them.
Observing from outside the USA, "a dumb man doubling down on a stupid decision" is an elegent summary of the situation.
Looks so good to see these students stand up for this. future leaders. !!
Yes, but it's sad for the teachers to act cowardly
This is not American and World history. This is a ridiculous theory made up by racists so called history scholars and cannot be validated. This type of propaganda does nothing but further separate the masses.
@@shawndun2119 Why only Teachers? Why lump that only on them? The WHOLE State should down tools. This is their State's future being affected. Teachers already fight enough alone, not least media blaming teachers for everything. If Teachers went on strike and noone else did, the message comes out wrong.
Why are black folks called African American? Only 1 out of 100 have even seen Africa! Never seen Ireland but why am I not referred to as Irish American? And why do we not have classes LABELED AP Irish American? I'm pretty sure Irish folks have contributed enough to America to at least have the same recognition. How about we all just act like what we are AMERICANS? Enough with the divisive liberal labels imo.
Thank you for bringing students into the public conversation. All of these students were brave to come on the show and clearly very very intelligent and leaders of their generation. Thank you to these students for speaking truth to power.
How is it a conversation when you tell them what to say in public schools they can't escape? How are they leaders when they're just repeating you, and you don't even bother pointing out what they said that was intelligent? How are they speaking truth to power when idiots like you are already the power, and by your own nonsense, truth is relative, anyway? This patronizing nonsense won't get you anywhere with intelligent kids.
Yes Amen Sooooo Proud Of Yu'll Don't Give Up.... 😘🙏🏾🙏🏾To All Our Students Education Black And White Others Nationally ..
Keep The Faith God's Bigger Than Anything And DESANTIS
Never underestimate our youth! They will find away to learn whatever they want to learn with or without Ron DeSantis.
Of course they can access this info outside of school. The act of trying to erase or lie about history is the problem. It's straight out in the fascist playbook.
Yes they can, but they shouldn't have to. Also discussion and exchanging of ideas is key to learning and understanding these topics.
@@pickledragonrebel They can't erase it everywhere though. Access to the internet has done away with that ever happening.
@@triarb5790 yeah, but they're trying to blanket all that information as corrupt/evil via the term "woke"
there is plenty of information out there about the horrors of scientology, but scientology has indoctrinated their followers that it's the equivalent of a "sin" to seek out that information. It's how Trump did it to his followers by simply stating "fake news" despite the fact his lies are verifiable.
Santos & crew have now essentially labelled any critical-thinking or diversity of thought as "woke" and therefore negative/bad/untrue. That doesn't exactly inspire children of santos voters to seek out informative information online.
Hopefully they'll learn reading, writing & arithmetic with all the money we're spending! ❤️🙏
Yes, MANY teachers in Florida fear saying the "wrong" things because of the threat to a teacher's job. Wish the public really understood this.
Thank you Joy for this Conversation ❤ please continue with this
It was good to hear from these articulate honor teens in this live venue. Well done Joy.
The woman that helped to put the course together once ran on the comunist ticket for vp.
@@kelperdude There are many people involved in creating AP courses, you ignoramus
@@kelperdude annnd! The ex-president married a communist woman, divorced her and married a younger communist woman, revere a communist dictator, and tried to overthrow the US government and stole top secret security documents and wants to destroy the US constitution. Sooooo? Why you hating her?
@@kelperdude You're like that dumb trumper who doesn't know he's not wanted
OK Groomer. 👌
The youth are the future. They should have a say. Very proud of these young people.
"Florida is going to be frozen in time while the rest of the country moves forward." No truer statement has been said. This encapsulates EVERYTHING about why I hate Florida.
We’ve heard all about Florida schools up north and we don’t want to hire anyone who went to a school with no books
DeSantis is a childish man. Its scary that he has this power.
he's a dumb man who wants to make sure he remains the "smartest" man in the room.
Most Republican politicians are childish and unprofessional. It is either their way or the highway.
DeSantis, Trump, Putin, Kim, ...
@@r.pres.4121 or just grifting
You can thank the people in Florida for that
My daughter is a 10th grader. She just signed up for summer PE class at a community college so she can fit 4 AP classes in her next year curriculum and I'm so glad that we don't have a guy like DeSantis runs our state....We are lucky to have Josh Shapiro. I'm
equally please that none of FL university are even on her radar even if they offer her a full ride....Floridian parents should be outrage....
I completely believe that a product of the public school system wrote this.
@@arcdecibel9986 You probably have a terrible time trying to figure out how to spend the rubles you're paid in as a Putin Bot-Butt.
@@arcdecibel9986 Common sense isn't a thing with you is it?
Make no mistake, DeSantis is not just some guy. He is a fascist dictator turning Florida's education system into an indoctrination system designed to enslave the people of Florida.
@@arcdecibel9986 public school systems are what the states make them. I got an excellent public education in Texas.
I have been observing the situation regarding education in Florida. DeSantis seems to be grossly underestimating the Florida students. They’re probably better equipped to deal with accurate history than the good governor himself. He also seems to think that teaching all encompassing history will somehow threaten his level of control. He wants to teach History. His Story.
This is happening in the US, the supposed "land of the free", and in the year 2023, unbelievable!
INTELLIGENT PEOPLE GET OUT OF FLORIDA WHILE YOU CAN!
Intelligent people need to not VOTE for racists like DeSantis.
Also get out of Texas as well because Governor Greg Abbott is also a fascist.
I concur! Florida is a melting pot of cultures with awful governing similarities to Mississippi. Yikes!
That is exactly what Ron DeFascist wants. He wants Florida to be a pool of stupid, easily manipulatable people that he and his cronies can misuse. But we Floridians REFUSE to give up our State and are fighting to make things better!
Fortunate that kids have an opportunity to accelerate their learning. We didn't have AP classes when I went to high school. But then we didn't have banned books.
We had civic classes, couldn't graduate without it!
I've heard that the course is actually very good up until they get to around the 1970's. Then it turns into straight up marxism teachings. No thanks.
Banned books? Lol. Talk about misrepresentation
@@hdtvcamera1 How so
@@Goparescum I've found the claims of" banned books" to be highly politicized.
In some cases other books were being used. The authors used the term the book was banned in order to market it to other states. Sympathetic like minded school boards want to include what was "banned."
In other cases the materials were inappropriate or brought in other left wing ideology. I've seen examples of even math using CRT.
Nobody writing these articles ever interview the decision makers. I've seen articles that are more balanced that do. It's why it's on MSNBC
Pleasantly articulate interviewees
Imagine NOT learning about Black history because it might make a child feel uncomfortable especially after the mandatory lockdown for the school shooter drill.
These young people are amazing! Keep it up. And thank you Joy Reid as always.
One of the young man’s friends wanted to become a teacher until a *teacher* revealed how underpaid and undervalued the job is. That is heartbreaking! We need more young men aspiring to become teachers and for the profession to be treated with the dignity and respect it deserves. Wow. Bless these young folks. All they want to do is learn. Hopefully their presence in the news will gather more support for this cause. I wish them the best on this endeavor.
The repuklican way: keep the populace dumb so they can't figure out what we're up to.
Good luck with that. Republicans what public education gone just lke Social Secrutiy, medicare, medicaide but spen trillions on the militltary.
@@Riverrockphotos Well said
Idk if you should be, only 48k a year? And I'm assuming you have to pay for your own supplies? Starter salary for Canadian teachers ranges from $51k-$76k.
And unlike the US, where the poorer/less populated states offer lower teaching salaries than the richer/more densely populated states, the higher salaries in Canada are in these poorer/less populated provinces and territories to draw in and keep teachers there, because education is prioritized.
You deserve more than $4k a month. Idk what your cost of living is, but I cannot imagine you have much left over to save, and I am positive that Texas teachers living in Dallas, Austin, and other large cities would not agree that $4k a month is a comfortable wage.
Teaching is a dead end job
To those students I say, don't stop seeking the answers to your questions. The truth is available to those who seek it.
Living in Florida for decades…I appreciate the 3 young people helping us understand what they and their teachers have to do
That young man is so nervous it’s making me nervous. Bless his heart!
Solidarity! ✊✊
Well done...call out injustice when you see it. Our future is bright, watching these young adults stand for free Speech.
Public school teachers dont have freedom of speech while working for the government in a public capacity.
@@TheChopf26 they work for the school system, not the government. You obviously have never worked as a teacher.
Hold on there, Sparky. The government IS messing with the educational system, so it is important for us to stay calm.
@@XiaoGuanYin104 Anyone else notice that the First Amendment is under attack from the right while they ban books, ban words, ban opinions? Yet they guise it as literally protecting America.
THIS IS BLATANT FASCISM FOLKS. Right here, right now. Reject Republican Sharia.!!!
@@XiaoGuanYin104 if you mean the Tallahassee Tyrant, we are in agreement
All five of my children took AP classes and they were the only ones worth taking. There was no option for an African American course but my children would definitely have taken it if there were. My youngest graduated high school as a college sophmore. Telling students they can't take AP classes is telling them they can't work hard and get ahead. I'm pretty sure that's the basis of the American Dream. DeSantis is the antithesis of American.
I never thought I'd see the day when books are banned in the United States of America!
I wish someone would ask the Office of Governor if the 2016 movie, “Hidden Figures”, is a permitted training and educational tool for use in Florida educational institutions.
I love that film. The Republicans with to take us back to exactly those times. Male, white dominance, segregation and the little woman, at home, in the kitchen.
I love the movie seen it many times and it always brings a tear 😢 (from the UK 🇬🇧)
@@lindabateman329 They want to but they won't get it, little late for that now. To many people are learning and becoming aware every day. Every day that passes is one step away from the past.
@@dexteromaa1086 they're fighting kicking and screaming though - white supremacy and red-pill/incel culture are aggressively targeting young white men to be indoctrinated into these views so they don't die out. Then politically, DeSantos got this law passed and GOP got roe v wade overturned.
We must keep fighting, and we must protect our young kids minds with being filled with christian-patriarchal-white supremacist ideology.
Kudos to these students. ❤❤❤❤
Yall keep this anger when DeSantis is running for President! Unfortunately, so many Floridians support him & it's sickening.
