#Florida #Schools #Education

We have 2024 and there's racism against Afro-Americans yet…people are so stupid, they're never learning from their past…. In Florida, of course, a southern state…first, white intruders fought the first nation and they were forced to leave their homeland. Second, nevertheless the laws against segregation, people don't care about them and sadly the real truth of the bad and brutal treatment of other races in the US is going on. Even at school that topics seem to be often "uncomfortable".to teach and discuss about. In this case asking for a book…. it's really ridiculous !!!
They hate Black Americans!
The man that is the height of racism, sexism and stupidity governs the state that is America's 🍆.
It just makes it easier for parents to teach their kids to be racists by denying them the chance to learn about other cultures and races. This is disgusting. I HATE FLORIDA.
So horrible that schools are no longer about educating kids.
nooooo wayyyy
Anti woke law? Now I’ve heard it all 😂
Yeah, not racist at all. Those Republicans are so accepting and full of family values and care so much about life and treat everyone equal, well unless your different than them of course.
Im Filipino, We know that USA is one of the country that stop racist and slaves? what month is brown history, what month is white history? im confuse.
It's called racism
Because it’s black history month duh
Hahahahahhahahahaha
The permission notice smacks of racism Oh, it's a southern state. 'Nuff said.
We are slowly heading back to the 50s
The GOP wants americans to be uneducated so they keep getting votes
I just can't believe that I live in a time where a visit by a Black Author and a talk with a Holocaust survivor requires a permission slip!!
Florida is so backwards. It should be considered child abuse to raise kids there.
Better safe than sued
That is totally pathetic actually due to racial tensions and bigotry i’m lucky I’m not in Florida. But I understand and sorry for hear that to Floridians when it comes with that kind of situation of this atrocity
Next permission slip: We are going to have a Woman read a book that she wrote…
>> "a book written by an African American.”
Why such mystery?
What's the book and who's the author?
I really don't care who is reading it or who wrote it or what thier ethnicity is all I would need to know is if the book was appropriate for children! So my question is what was the name of the book?
if it was Uncle Ruckus, I'd sign it immediately
If parents want to shelter & brainwash their kids, they should homeschool them.
I thought consent forms were for school outings. Not for black authors reading to students
I don't care what race an author is, as long as they're teaching the kids something that will prepare them forr all of life's challenges like they did in ancient Athens. The politicization of education is a joke.
Congratulations Florida, you created this.
Hopefully its not Floyd Mayweather! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laws like this are disgusting. History needs to be taught and acting like teaching history is something to be ashamed of is wrong.
Gotta make sure we don't offend the racists.
It’s Florida. What do you expect? 🤦🏻♂️😒
bro what 😭
Florida is just getting whiter by the day…smh…
Florida is not a part of the u.s. along with Texas, these people have completely different laws
“America is not a racist country!”
Why is this even a thing 😂
Absolutely ridiculous. Children deserve education, not exclusion.
O white man, please give us some food
Ok so what really happened
Sick deplorable disgusting. Keep pushing vote 🔵
But it doesn't tell the book so parents can make a real decision, who reads it doesn't matter.
What book is the question
Permission slips in 2014: Students will participate in going on field trip to amusement park 🎢
Students will participate in school Lock in 🏫
Students will participate in chemistry lab as well as handling materials and corrosives🧪
Permission slips in 2024:
Students will participate and listen to a book written by a woman ♀️
Students will participate in assembly facilitated by a disabled person ♿
Students will watch lunar new year dance by a Asian dance group🐉
…. needing a permission slip to read a book even written by a black person … what century is this????
I don't see the issue, it seems to be what the law required.
How utterly asinine. I'm so glad I don't live down there anymore, but I feel so badly for those that do.
So being black is scandalous? That’s what that letter seems like.
