An unrelenting assault on truth and freedom is underway here in America. And Florida is leading the charge. Ron DeSantis’s rejection of the AP African American Studies course says it all. Mr. DeSantis! You are passing laws (or trying to) that censor and suppress the viewpoints, histories, and experiences of BLACK PEOPLE, Gay people, Brown, Red, and even White people who don't think like you or have as much money as you.
Oh, then there's the “Stop WOKE” law — Stop WOKE? WTF is Woke?
It's the past tense of wake. as in awaken, to cause to stop sleeping. "My banging around in the kitchen woke my wife"
So, Ron DeSantis wants us colored folks to stay sleep!
The opposite of Woke is HYPNOTIZED! Let's Stay Woke. Raised, Stimulated, Agitated, Informed, Alerted, and my favorite synonym for woke is; Turned Out. Let's Turn Out, and vote this guy out.
Another opposite of Woke, Imperilled, as in endangered.
Mr. DeSantis has broken the State of Florida's state-issued mandate that all students be taught “the history of African Americans, including the history of African peoples before the political conflicts that led to the development of slavery, the passage to America, the enslavement experience, abolition and the contributions of African Americans to society.”
That's the law! I ain't no lawyer but, Section 1003.42(2)(h), of the Florida Statutes, says "WE TEACH BLACK HISTORY IN FLORIDA"

Hey, you know what? Thank you, Mr. Ron DeSantis, you inspire me. You, one man, have turned the study of the Black experiences into a prohibited category.
You violate a person's right to an accurate, truthful education.
You have denied us our First Amendment freedoms of speech and expression; to the extent, they harm certain groups based on race, gender, or another protected status.
This podcast host believes that Governor DeSantis is guilty of the state-sponsored dehumanization of an entire race of people. We The People can not let this guy be President.
Now you see what I mean by Black Lives Don't Matter.
