Education proposal targets efforts to ‘indoctrinate’ (FL)

TALLAHASSEE — A proposed rule that will be weighed by the State Board of Education aims to control the way history is taught in Florida classrooms and not allow teachers to “indoctrinate” students, as part of what state Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran called a “constant, vigilant fight.”

“Instruction on the required topics must be factual and objective and may not suppress or distort significant historical events, such as the Holocaust, and may not define American history as something other than the creation of a new nation based largely on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence,” the state Department of Education’s proposal said.

The Florida Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, opposes the proposed rule.

“Florida isn’t going to equip students as critical thinkers by hiding facts. Students deserve the best possible education we can provide and the truest and most inclusive picture of their world and our shared history,” Andrew Spar, the union’s president, said in a statement Wednesday.

Governor DeSantis criticized critical race theory during a media appearance in March, while rolling out a “civics literacy” proposal.

“It’s basically teaching kids to hate our country and to hate each other based on race. It puts race as the most important thing. I want content of character to be the most important thing,” DeSantis told reporters.

“The first purpose of education in a republic is to instill love of country.”

What are you, some kind of Extremist?

Just kidding, but one has to wonder what other countries need LAWS to prevent their ‘educators’ from teaching their kids to hate their own country...

Two transsexuals sitting in a tree
Both were masked and distancing
First come lies
Then disillusion
Then loss of genitals in all the confusion

A tisket, a tasket
I put Grandma in a casket
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I lost it
I lost it
I lost it

And pulled the plug from its socket

There was a parent who had a son
And he/his were his pronouns
H-e-…-H-i-s!
H-e-…-H-i-s!

Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Who you calling black
You white honkey fool!

And you ain’t my dame
If you don’t want disaster
You’ll treat me the same

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the lawyer and the lawyer said:
Don’t take their offer, demand ten million instead

Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play

Hickory, dickory, dock
The Earth ignored the climate clock.
The clock struck zero
There was no hero

I’ve been working on the electric car
All the live long day.
But the thing won’t go far
That’s what the people say.
Can’t you make a better battery?
One that won’t run down so fast
Can’t you make a better battery?
So that the thing will last

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To change their sex together
Jack and Jill came down the hill
And each one was the other
