  1. Politician using many of these controversial topic not for the sake of the people but for their own interest and votes.

    Why are we putting trust and confidence in these people who see the uneducated as guinea pigs and offering people a simple and easy solution that “neglects truth and honesty”. This is how dictatorship is established from they ruined and it starts with our education system and we are only teaching one perspective of the story. It’s just like how you can’t rewrite Roman or ancient Greek history so why are we doing it to American history to make it look better since “saving your country‘s face“ is saying we are in denial about our own past and as far as I’m aware you can’t sugarcoat history since there is written records of history and does include the artifacts so just sitting in denial doesn’t work.

  2. What Ron DeSantis going to do about White kids calling Black Kids the N – word ?🤔

  3. Awww no crt 🤣 wokies are butt hurt

  4. Did you know that WWII Black veterans and descendants are STILL not allowed GI bill benefits? Can you imagine teaching WWII and GI Bill and not mentioning that 1 million Black veteran were excluded. There is a bill in the house and senate to change this. Authentic CRT seeks to uncover and remedy these inequities caused by systemic racism.

  5. Can we all say Handmaids Tale

  6. Translation: teachers want to push their left-wing communist loving agenda.

  7. At least there not teaching your boys to pretend there girls😂😂😂😂😂

  8. This is what the GOP always wanted for education…keep the masses stupid so they continue to vote GOP.

  9. Isn't all public education indoctrination at some point?

  10. 🎶Springtime for DeSantis and Florida
    Winter for Students and Truth🎶

  11. Washington was the only Founder who had a plan to free his slaves. So they are going to leave that out?

  12. "I love the poorly educated." –Donald Trump. 10 of the top 11 states with the lowest funding for education are the Republican-led states of Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Utah, South Dakota, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Idaho.

  13. The assertion that an entire race is conspiring to oppress and subjugate the victim class is right out of the nazi playbook.
    The assertion that history is being suppressed is thoroughly debunked by the fact that the history in question is common knowledge, and always has been.
    "More important, as critical race theorists we adopt a stance that PRESUMES that racism has contributed to ALL contemporary manifestations of group advantage and disadvantage along RACIAL lines, including differences in income, imprisonment,health, housing, education, political representation, and military service. Our history calls for this PRESUMPTION."
    "Words That Wound: Critical Race Theory, Assaultive Speech, and the First Amendment"
    by Matsuda, Lawrence III, Delgado, and KIMBERLE' WILLIAMS CRENSHAW
    Those are their words from their intellectual papers: It is the entire foundation of the premise.
    CRT promotes the notion that the fact that a group is measurably superior is proof that everybody in that group is guilty; and, that a group being inferior is proof that everybody in that group is a victim.
    Further: this principle projects through time; asserting that what happened to the long dead projects onto the guilt or victimhood of the living; even if the living never experienced it at all………..
    CRT uses history and statistics to justify using government force to implement racial discrimination.
    CRT obviates the need for any thought, word or act of racism as proof of their presumed verdict. All they need is their preferred race measuring less favorably than another. Regardless of the cause: they declare their favored race to be victims of the other.
    Then they would use real government enforced discrimination in response to their presumed discrimination; altering laws, policies and practices to favor their preferred race.
    All for the stated purpose of forcibly making the measurements between races identical.

    The operative question is whether you support using government force to implement racial discrimination.
    All the rest is academic.

    My answer is no.

  14. So we revolted against a monarchy that had both a state religion and claimed the “divine” right to rule but separation of church and state is a misconception? Liars!

    Yes, owning and depending upon slaves is a ringing endorsement for the abolition of slavery. Clearly. All they’re doing is force-feeding their weak, venal political views on children so that the lies will become embedded permanently and confused with feelings of nostalgia…the same tactics they use in sunday school to teach kids about a loving god that drowned 99% of all life on this planet to satisfy its own need for wrath. Brilliant.

  15. True and accurate history? That claim alone proves that they do not understand how historical events are analyzed. Are they going to share the true and accurate history of the 13th century, for example? How exactly? They said nothing about their sources. Not a word. You can find a multitude of radically different interpretations of periods in history written by people during and after said periods. Which one is right? Which ones are wrong? Why can’t they cite their sources?

  16. Florida is a garbage pit and it will remain so, for a very long time.
    Also, I was born there, i moved out for good reason. My father was born there too.
    Florida is and will always be a cess pool of depraved law makers.

  17. “Complicated” is a great way to describe the issue. Classic Republican false flag that teachers are trying to teach kids to hate the United States. It’s just not true, the truth is difficult to understand, context is extremely important which teachers can still provide throughout this horrifically politicized issue.

  18. Race hustlers are mad 😂

  19. Russia: invading Ukraine, unleashed a large-scale war in Europe, kills people, constantly threatens with the use of nuclear weapons, leads the world to chaos, the end of Humanity. Such homophobic behavior is unacceptable. In the 21st century, the age of Globalization, Humanity is obliged to fight evil. If you do not want to participate directly in the fighting, you participate in economic sanctions against Russia. Economic sanctions, as an alternative to direct participation in the fighting, are necessary and inevitable. Sanctions, of course, are a double-edged thing, you will have to temporarily survive the costs and difficulties. The sooner Russia bears responsibility for its crimes, the sooner sanctions will be lifted. The faster and more weapons Ukraine gets, the sooner this war will end

  20. This is very disturbing. Is Florida letting Ron Desantis how to think, what to read and learn?

  21. See this is what worries me to the point where these kinds of people will eventually take full control of the White House and the government and we are powerless to stop it. I hope I’m wrong of course but I’m expecting the worst while hoping for the best.

  22. It's indoctrination by a governor who said he is against indoctrination. REPULSIVE!!

  23. A bunch of idiots who were taken to church as kids, do not understand what indoctrination is.

  24. Stupid people are easy to manipulate.
    That's why Republican politicians hate education.
    Republicans are easily manipulated.

  25. Civics. That's where they indoctrinate.

  26. CRITICAL RACE THEORY: 35th generation Deb Haaland must laugh at 2nd generation patriot wannabe Trump.

    A patriot until they are attacked at a bus stop for being Asian American.

    A patriot until they walk down the street and are shot by police for being Black American.

    True history with all races is taught to a Pink American. Their domestic terrorist parents protest at PTA meetings.

  27. ❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine empru.ONLINE Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennh ich 4 wählen würde
