I so wish judge smith got unvoluntarily pregnant and was made to live with it... unfortunately, odds are she's too old to have kids anymore, and enough money to make sure no accident happens.

Stopping the woke by suppressing history. That'll Make America Great Again, just you wait and see.

'Florida Says AP African American Studies Program "Lacks Educational Value"'
Florida has blocked the College Board from testing a pilot Advanced Placement African American Studies (APAAS) curriculum in the state under Governor Ron DeSantis’ “Stop WOKE” Act. According to a letter obtained by National Review, Florida’s Department of Education’s Office of Articulation said the curriculum “is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”

The pilot course, which has been tested at 60 schools across the United States, aims to expand the advanced coursework offered by the College Board into the study of the African diaspora in the U.S. The course has run afoul of DeSantis’ widespread ban on teaching “critical race theory” (CRT) in K-12 classrooms. CRT is an analytical framework that seeks to dissect the manner in which racism has shaped American legal theory and institutions. The concept has been co-opted in recent years by right-wing reactionaries to fearmonger about any and all discussions of race and discrimination.

The “Stop Woke” act, signed into law by DeSantis in 2022, essentially prohibits instruction on race relations or diversity that imply a person’s “status as either privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by his or her race, color, national origin, or sex.” The bill also bans both schools and workplaces from “subjecting any student or employee to training or instruction that espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates, or compels such individuals to believe specified concepts constitutes discrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin.”

In November, U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker issued a temporary injunction on a portion of the law that attempted to place similar restrictions on higher education. Despite several challenges to the law on grounds of First Amendment rights, Florida has continued to lead the charge against comprehensive education on the racial history of the U.S. Several other states have passed similar legislation, including Texas, Idaho, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Oklahoma.

Apparently, Florida looked at Georgia and Alabama and said, "I gotta get me some o' dat."

That 'inexplicably' is interesting to me. On the face of it they're saying it is impossible to explain why the course curriculum is contrary to Florida law. That seems a damning admission. However I think there's a significant possibility that it's a malapropism and they intended to say 'inextricably' or perhaps 'inherently.' Big words can be tricky!

OK, what's the reason for the change since I don't believe for one moment that it's to avoid embarrassing trans girls?

Maybe at some point DeSantis will be worthy of his own thread. Perhaps 'Darth Santis Battles the Woke Mind Virus.'

'A new poll suggests Ron DeSantis' "anti-woke" crusade will backfire'
As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prepares to run for president in 2024, a new poll suggests that he may be overplaying his hand with his war on “wokeness.”

The poll, conducted by Ipsos and published last week in USA Today, shows that 56% of Americans consider “woke” a positive term, meaning “to be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices.” Even more than a third of Republicans agree. Just 39% agreed with a negative definition: “to be overly politically correct and police others’ words.”

Many Republican leaders have made “anti-wokeness” a cornerstone of their political agenda, but DeSantis has led the pack by upending the lives and liberties of Floridians through authoritarian book bans and speech codes. “Florida is where woke goes to die,” DeSantis crowed when he was sworn in for a second term earlier this year.

But if most Americans believe “woke” is a positive term, why would they want a president to suffocate it, and replace it with autocratic power grabs and far right curricula? DeSantis won his gubernatorial reelection handily, but he might be a little high on his own supply.

Given an assumed left bias the poll could still be interpreted to indicate that around half of the country understands that social injustice is a problem. On the other hand a significant minority might be said to bridle at the general notion of social progress. Might be optimistic but it sounds about right to me.
