Just saw a local Miami media tv report on how DeSantis won this dispute. Seemed totally one-sided, so I timed it. Story ran about 2 minutes....about 90 seconds of it consisted of leftists complaining...the governor got about 20 seconds, maybe 30.

Just like clockwork, DeSantis wins and Crump files a lawsuit.

Florida?

Good. That will bring more press coverage to the issue.

DeSantis is firing on all cylinders when it comes to the destructive nature of CRT.

At this time, CRT is the biggest weapon in the Marxist arsenal. And DeSantis recognizes this.

I wish Trump would get into this fight.

To hold student interest, too many high schools are turning themselves into quasi-colleges with regards to offerings—pandering to fads rather than imparting breadth.

If this is an additional class to be taken after an American History and a World Histroty, fine—but I’m sure it’s not.

People who think they have specialized and pontificate are called sophmores for a reason.

It don’t do to preach on Matthew if you have not yet read Mark, as a line from a long forgotten song states.

Seems simple - the class shows BLM as heroes and police as villians- exactly why the law was created. This ambulance chaser is going to lose again.

Ben Crump is Al Charlatan with a law degree. Nothing but a race hustler.

“Advanced Placement African American Studies”

Just investigate why Crump used a false witness during the Trayvon/Zimmerman trial.

I wonder what the Biden admin, media and lefts reaction would be if a big university assembled some curriculum showcasing white men and how great their culture is; The scientists , engineers, historical leaders used as examples. Also argued our liberal systems have became inherently racist and should be discarded?

Basically create a white racial superiority class then thinly disguised it with a name like “European Studies”? In other words reverse the situation.

I think we know the answer to that—the government would rule the college closed and send in troops. Before that the leftists would protest and if that didn’t work start pillaging and burning.

As much as I despise the left they are willing to act.

Looks like Kristi Noem was the first once again against this BLM crap.

Almost one year ago in fact...

Kristi was also ONLY governor not to close a single business or church during the plandemic.

Several “He-man women haters” on this board fail to give this lady any credit.

So glad she is my governor.

Noem was right about that, but she has other problems. I have not heard her address this:

We need to have an honest discussion about race in this country.
And no, not the discussion where the premise is that whites are evil, and then the conversation immediately turns to reparations.
I am talking about getting to the root causes of race and who’s really stoking the fires. Because it’s not white people doing it.

If every Republican governor did what DeSantis is doing, we would be a much better country. I just wish all those states were connected so they could secede and start a new country.
