Academic terms, like defined terms in a legal document, can telescope many words into a few so the writing does not get weighed down by the repetition of long phrases. If you learn what the words mean they no longer impede comprehension. Big words, fine distinctions.
What's with Florida kids' parents? Why are they not raging about the lack of educational opportunity for their kids? Will Floridian children be doomed to spend their entire lives in Florida? What out of state colleges & universities will want them when they have learned only "cut & dry" DeSantis style history? I guess they can go to other Red states where alternative perspectives & information are not allowed. I fear for this generation being raised to relish ignorance.
If only elderly retirees live in Florida because "people of color, children, and LGBTQ folks" have been banished, then who will do the work that these retirees want to have done for them to make their retirement comfortable?
“We wanna do history — that’s what our standards for Black history are. It's just cut and dried history,"
As interpreted through a White lens. One of the teachings included in the AP course is by bell hooks, a Black Queer Feminist. The 1st class I took as a university student was a class taught by an amazing professor, Robyn Wiegman, now at Duke, "The Meaning of Woman" which examined the construct of "woman" from 6 different philosophical perspectives. One of those perspectives was represented by the writings of bell hooks. It was challenging but worthwhile. This was in 1996. I graduated in 2000 and this is one of a handful of classes, and professors, that I actually remember.
“People that have participated to make the country great. People that have stood up when it wasn’t easy.” Seems like he’s talking about a certain orange menace.
I am afraid these blind pigs have discovered yet another pernicious acorn in the form of Queer theory, a kind of critical theory. They may begin to think there are even MORE critical theories out there.
When I try extra hard to be human that can turn to pity for him and those like him, in terms of the stale vapidity of their intellects. But I hear you.
He's currently trying to brand himself as the "Education Governor," and touting all the money that Florida has thrown at teachers the past few years. Problem is, that money mostly went to pay the low salaries of new teachers, not give raises or improve anything else. So Florida keep hemorrhaging teaching talent to other states and the number of vacant positions keeps growing. Great job, high five Ron!

Here's the altar that DeSantis and people just like him, worship at!

Florida goddamn./Florida man here.

By this we mean: this governor is keen to maintain his advantages by slamming the door of opportunity behind him.

Cut and dried
a) Who does the cutting, who does the drying?
b) Who can characterize history more thrillingly than Ron DeSantis?
"Welcome To Florida," or, for brevity's sake: "WTF."

Dang, "Tulsa Race Massacre." I just referred to it in class yesterday as the "Wichita Race Massacre."
"Clean up in classroom C-5."
