Florida Middle Schools Must Now Also Teach the ‘Positive Aspects’ of Slavery

I


n keeping with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ wish to eradicate “Woke” from the state’s Public School System, the Florida Board of Education has just voted to approve an addition to the American history curriculum, which will also teach students about the “benefits of slavery.”  This new standard for teaching means Middle School students in Florida will now be taught a new curriculum that will promote the idea that slavery gave black people “skills” which could also be “used for their personal benefit.”

And now a word from our Republican US Supreme Court - “Hi, my name is Clarence Thomas - and I approve this curriculum!”  Next up for the Florida school system, “How Auschwitz developed successful weight loss techniques.”  Hell, instead of reparations, as other states are considering, descendants of slaves living in Florida can soon expect to receive an “invoice” from the state to cover the costs of their descendant’s “apprenticeship training.”

Now, with regard to slaves being taught "useful skills,” I was thinking perhaps someone ought to point out to Gov. DeSantis that it was “illegal” in most of the South to even teach slaves how to read or write.  Of course, and in their defense, given the caliber of folks who seem to dominate red-state politics and the half-wits who keep electing them, it appears the ability to read and write is still not high on any red-state’s list of “useful skills.”

Anyway, thanks to folks like Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Middle School diplomas will soon be available to graduates in rolls of 500 double-soft absorbent sheets.  So, save up all your Confederate money, fellas, because it looks like in Florida, “The South Will Rise Again!”  Of course, those White Nationalists had better hope the South can rise faster than the encroaching sea does.  Otherwise, those fancy new whitewashed textbooks might just get a little soggy.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis:   Scientists meeting this week at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference, say they’re monitoring the 99942 Apophis asteroid which will be coming within 20,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) of the Earth’s surface in just 10 years.  The thing is, by the year 2029, Trump will likely be settling into his 4th term - so if an asteroid suddenly threatens to destroy the Earth, my guess is that after 16 years of Trump, no one will really much care. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com  Oldest Human Footprint Found in the Americas Confirmed in Chile:   Researchers say a 15,600-year old footprint discovered by a student in southern Chile is believed to be the oldest human footprint ever found in the Americas.  Oddly enough, scientists say the footprint appears to be that of someone wearing size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, but because it’s from well over 15K years ago - they’re rather doubtful it has any connection to t...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...
