Florida's Department of Education has rejected an Advanced Placement course covering African-American Studies, claiming that the class indoctrinates students to "a political agenda”.
“Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. has defended the state’s decision to block the teaching of a high school African American studies course that he described as indoctrination into critical race theory. This comes after Florida’s actions were criticized by the White House.
‘We do not accept woke indoctrination masquerading as education’, he wrote.
According to the commissioner, officials objected to the books proposed for the course, which include topics such as ‘Intersectionality and Activism’, ‘Black Queer Studies’, ‘The Reparations Movement’, and ‘Black Feminist Literary Thought’. The issue of reparations – financial compensation to the descendants of slaves – was one of the examples in which the course offered 'no critical perspective or balancing opinion', officials argued.
The course was developed by the College Board, a non-profit that prepares standardized tests for students seeking college admissions. In a rejection letter the Florida Education Department said the proposed program is illegal under state law and ‘significantly lacks educational value’, as cited by the media.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre blasted Florida’s decision. ‘The state chooses to block a course that is meant for high achieving high school students to learn about their history of arts and culture. And it is incomprehensible’, Jean-Pierre said. She added, however, that the White House ‘does not dictate any curriculum for local schools’.
Last year, Florida banned the teaching of critical race theory in schools, outlawing courses which say that a person by virtue of their race or sex is ‘morally superior’ or ‘inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously’”. -RT
Whites in America are going to have to come to accept the fact that the fruit of the equality doctrine is poisonous to the core.
The bleeding hearts who professed to believe in equality, civil rights, and diversity and who refused to listen to those they called racist and bigoted are why preemptive actions like the one taken by Florida's Department of Education have become all but essential in dealing with this heterogeneous war for dominance and control.
The truth is, prior to the civil rights movement, schools in America faired much better. Even if baseline literacy has risen a little bit, society, as a whole, has become ostensibly more innumerate, as well as noticeably more doltish and lame-brained.
Regardless, it’s likely that only the most fervent segregationists would have foreseen the degradation of the American education system and the pernicious impact that race-integration busing had on the cities and suburbs.
However, one might think that African-Americans who actively sought to live amongst a community outside their own as a haven to escape the ghetto would have a deeper understanding of why integration was merely a period between when the first colored suburbanites moved into the Caucasian neighborhoods and when the last European-Americans took their children out of the public schools and fled the area.
As it turns out, basing social policy and education reform on the false presumption that no substantive differences exist between human subgroups has done nothing but breed widespread cynicism and recrimination among discouraged educators and their disenchanted pupils toward the very people they once tried but failed to emulate, hence the queer studies and feminist literary thought courses.
