FL. IS where w.o.k.e goes to d.i.e
Learning about history is so woke. Ignorance is the #1 export of Florida.
FLORIDA BECOMES BIG GOVERNMENT
It's also where hillbillies go to die.
You know the best way to protest - is to actually vote !
but these activist don't work, they enjoy walking circle in the street for 8+hrs; yelling, screaming, and complaining 🤣🤣🤣

I know. If more people voted, we wouldn't have this guy as governor again.
Actually the people did vote. Unfortunately, their votes were suppressed by the Republican legislature in the name of "Election Integrity", as they like to call it. In other words, in their perspective, elections are fair ONLY if the Republican nominee wins. It's sad.

It wouldn't save America by then. I don't understand how people think that removing wokeness would magically reverse centuries of societal inequality and political division.
Indian history is also American History. Don’t hide any of our American history. It’s not all pretty but we can learn from our mistakes so we don’t repeat them.
Welp, they're burying black history like they did Indian's history. WAKE UP!

Everyone should take your tax dollars out of Florida! This is APARTHIED in 2023! Take a taxes out of these school boards!
What do we want? Racially divisive politics!
When do we want it? When it benefits our stifling economic and malicious social agendas!
How is learning about black history divisive?
@@whatismypurpose1527 Where are you not learning about black people? If you want a brand new agenda these folks will need to calm down and talk to people.
So, where are you not learning about black people?
@@NotableSavage A class dedicated to black history. There's nothing "agenda" based about it when history classes already exist for different groups of people. Why is it suddenly a problem to want to add, not replace, but add a class on black history?
@@whatismypurpose1527 so your question is, “What could possibly be divisive about separating blacks from whites in history?”
What about Latino history instead. There are more Latinos than blacks in many places. They should have their own history first. Then Jewish history. They’re an important part of US history. That should come next. Since Asians are the target du jour of hate crimes these days we should go ahead and create an Asian specific history course as soon as possible. We can increase the efficacy of the class experience by not allowing whites in any of the minority studies. Also we’ll start young at about 7. You can easily make room in the school day. Just get rid of math and science because they’re racist anyway, amirite? No recess either.
So, what is so divisive about separating blacks from American history? A question that most people would think is rhetorical but that you posed literally for some odd reason.
Those opposing the truth are more dangerous than those bearing arms. As these kinds of policies continue in the United States it will definitely lead to greater harm than good. I don't understand what politicians like these fella derive from being devisive.

DeSantis should be dealing with inflation, insurance, gas, rent in FL
rather than spending millions of FL money on immigrants not in FL.
Interesting how the low level camera shots make the meager crowd seem larger.

@@luvyah2419 did you feel yourself lose IQ points when you became woke
They probably aren’t even from Florida. Probably some “just add water” rent-a-protesters from NYC
Woke means you are aware there are inequities in society and not this rallying cry which conservatives co-opted into meaning anti white.
@@EnergyMaxWh
Obviously you don't know what "woke" means, just going along with the hype
You can't see the audience at 0:34, when DeSantis says "we want education not indoctrination", but you can see on the board "2 + 3 = 5". So I just imagined a bunch of confused kids in front of him.
GITMO DeSANTIS likes torture, he is evil
Its the school board that make all the requirement and set up the curriculum, they should held accountable because they're one making the rule. For our school board we have 1 civil engineer, the other 6 are; art, history, business, liberal, and education major. In our school, we have 48 history professors and 2 physic professor. From this you can tell as a society in general American are at a disadvantage or handicap compare to other leading European and Asia countries 😆
Leftists now teach that 2+ 2 = 5. look it up. Because math = racist
Are they going to ban Hemingway in Florida?
Ron DeSantis is making Fahrenheit 451 a reality.

Black history IS American history!
Then teach it as a part of the American History courses. Can we also add in the World History courses what race groups from Africa sold the slaves to the white slave traders while we were at it? I'm all for learning about that history but do not divide it into two classes that will continue to divide the students.
@@erinramsay9914 Cultural history classes already exist. Why is it suddenly a problem when the topic is black people?
@@erinramsay9914 truth does not divide people. Lies do
@@erinramsay9914 it's being banned from being taught; as part of American history, or otherwise.
@@whatismypurpose1527 My reply is in favor of adding to the existing curriculum instead of creating a whole new class that will continue to divide students, teachers, and parents physically and socially. There are things in black history that are not easy to swallow, just like with history that was contributed by white people. The problem doesn't lie with black history. The problem is this proposed class will further divide students and teachers instead of bringing them together while also having the potential to paint black history as a "better" type of history because some black people have roots in slavery when it is just as bloody as "white" history. In short, I think DeSantis truly just wants students to be taught history without racist undertones targeting both white and black students and teachers. I hope this explanation helps clear up my stance. Thank you for asking your question.
My grandmother and mkyhrt taught me my history. I teach my daughter 🫡. Black history is American history.
I thought I read you say your granddaughter;* I was just gonna say well that’s not surprising, because no matter our ages we can learn something and teach each other.

Why We Do Need So Many People in the World
At the start of the 20th century, the world population was roughly two billion people. Today, it is roughly eight billion. Of those eight billion, most are poor, and over a billion people are hungry to the point of starvation. Providing for so many people at a decent level seems too formidable a task for Earth. Moreover, each day, more bots, robots, and automatic machines are replacing human jobs. Humanity is producing enough to provide for everyone, so the question is why we need so many people. Would Earth, and humanity, not be better off if we were only four billion, for example?
The truth is that we wouldn’t be better off; we would be much worse off. There is a good reason for the exponential growth in humanity’s population over the past century or so.
When we look at people, we see faces and bodies, human beings, and nothing more. But the truth is much more complicated and intricate than that. Try to imagine any animal without relating it to its environment, and you will realize that it is a lost cause. The shape, color, behavior, size, longevity, and every other aspect of its existence derives from the environment where it exists. Animals are not isolated from their environment; they rely on it, follow its laws, and at the same time make up the environment that sustains them and of which they are a part.
Humans, too, make up a system. We think of ourselves as isolated individuals, but we are actually parts of a global human society. We influence it, it influences us, and almost everything that is true for the animal kingdom is true for us.
There are only two differences between animals and people, though they are fundamental differences. The first is that people are inherently mean and selfish, while animals are not. The second is that our desires grow and intensify, while those of animals remain largely the same. While we want more money and power the more we have of them, animals settle for what they have once they have had their fill.
Worse yet, from generation to generation, we are becoming more greedy, domineering, and narcissistic. Conversely, animals’ “aspirations” do not change from generation to generation: Give them enough grass, or enough game, and they are happy campers.
The reason why our desires grow while those of animals remain the same is that an increased desire makes us accelerate our development. Eventually, humans are not intended to perceive only the physical existence, but to penetrate through it and perceive the connectedness and interdependence among all of us not only intellectually, as I am explaining it here, but in the senses, just as we perceive the physical world, if not more so.
Our constant desire to search, explore, discover, and learn stems from our aspiration to know the deepest levels of reality. That knowledge is the sole prerogative of humans since only people develop such profound desires.
As our desires grow, we must learn to direct them toward discovering the purpose and structure of life. New desires first appear on the crassest level, and we must cultivate them, raise them to the level where they enhance our perception of reality.
Because these desires are so intense, we need more people to “share the load.” As just said, although we feel isolated, we are in fact one system. Everything we think is ours is actually part of the system of humanity and all of humanity shares it. Therefore, our desires are also not personal, even though they feel as such.
Every time we elevate one desire from the corporeal level to the higher levels of perception, we influence all of humanity. And every time a person dies, the burden of elevating our common desire grows heavier on all of us.
This is why the life of every person is precious. It determines the pace of advancement of all of humanity. If we realized how deeply we are connected, and what harm we cause by mistreating other people, if we felt it as it really is-that we are torturing ourselves-we would not dare mistreat each other or leave one person uncared for.
The governor of ANY state should not have this much power. DeSantis is clearly out of his mind!

This is what Webster describe WOKE meaning: Aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).”
I’m assuming people don’t understand what is meant by WOKE.
The definition changed, because we see how people who describe themselves as woke, act. The new definition is: Sees racial and social justice issues everywhere, doesn't matter if they exist or not. And want to solve these issues by destroying everything (because everything is racist, sexist, etc.)
Like a hammer that just sees nails everywhere.

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.

You wish 😂 there's no more booo hooo poor me!! Get over it gurllll
the Rev gots it... eventually there wont be any southern states left. i mean look at de santis' face.
I really hope Hollywood steps up and gives us more topics like slavery. In fact I hope they put out nothing but movies and shows on Slavery Civil Rights and the Holocaust. I haven't seen any Herman Hesse based movies since the sixties. Time to bring back the real issues in entertainment, at least until this culture war distraction ends.
Yes, we need more Hollywood elite a**holes virtue signaling to us about how we should act. Great idea, I'm surprised no one in Hollywood has ever tried this before.
Slavery was only a small part of what built America.. go learn history.

How ‘bout we just return to a classical, ideologically neutral, 7 liberal arts based curriculum in all public and state funded schools.
That seems like a reasonable compromise, right? 🤷♂️
I’m pretty sure that the vast majority of conservatives would get on board with that.
And yet . . Something tells me that the vast majority of liberals would not.🤨🙄
"classical" a coded word for wHite
@LadyKate oh bless your heart. Your sheet has slipped out your hem
@LadyKate I have one. You don't seem to have a problem with one being taken- as long as it's of a POC. At least your racism is blatant enough to be obvious to all who witness it
Why don't you tell us what to think and feel in the rest of our life travels, hmm? Intellectualization is a fine smokescreen to hide behind while someone tells you what it's okay to learn, think about, and compromise on, right? How about 5 liberal arts? How about 2? How about not thinking at all because we should only believe what you belive, right? Go fish.
@@cecilelaforce3686 You don’t even know what the 7 liberal arts are, do you. .
The Trivium; The Quadrivium.
Are these really completely novel terms to you? 🙄
Then perhaps you ought to stay in your lane.
Advocating for a classical, ideologically neutral curriculum is not a “smokescreen” for anything.
It is, I would think, a reasonable compromise aimed at reforming a public education system that has become decidedly and increasingly ideologically colonized.
If you can’t get on board with
“perhaps we should teach young people HOW to think, and not WHAT to think,”
Then you are part of the problem.
This country is going Straight to H@#!😈

President Biden pass amnesty and citizenship for all. You campaigned on this now please get it done.
