Florida, and the Battle for the Soul of Public Education - Passing Period #57
This Week: The Florida State Senate passes a bill that requires teaching that ensures white, and white adjacent folk, cannot be made to feel “discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race,” joining the ranks of states and municipalities outlawing the teaching of truthful history. The battle for the very soul of public education in the service of democracy continues. What does this mean for us? What should we do to resist these oppressive attempts to enshrine a white supremacist curriculum? Manuel and Jeff discuss. Oh, and there’s soldiers teaching school in New Mexico, and cops with guns, and without masks, teaching school in Oklahoma. Good times.
