Florida's Don't Feel Bad Law.

[Ray From Cleveland]

Such is the authoritarian right.

This is yet another example of conservatives’ fear of – and contempt for – facts and the truth.

Not at all. It's about putting the brakes on Democrats who are constantly pitting one group of Americans over another to keep in power.

So, now little Jonnie is taught that slavery was a real thing, he goes home and tells mommy and daddy and BOOM school is now sued for teaching about slavery because little Jonnie felt bad that it happened, and will not be allowed to do so any longer.

Little Suzi learns about what we did to native Americans as we expanded westward, she goes home and tells mommy and daddy and BOOM school is now sued for teaching because little Suzi was upset about what we did and will not be allowed to do so any more.

Where in your OP does it say that? I read it twice and no mention of suing people. We went through the same shit when they passed the law about not teaching sex to 5 to 8 year olds.

 

[SavannahMann]

Wow. Republicans are totally right. We are losing so many freedoms while Biden is President.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No, thats your cockeyed opinion of the law

and its totally wrong

Prove I am wrong.

“An individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex. An individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race,” the bill states.

/------/ What a crock of Hillary. Your analogies are completely flawed, and boneheaded. The part of the bill you posted doesn't say those things can't be taught, it says An individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race,” the bill states.
To put it in simple words so you can follow along, no one can be made to feel bad about things they had nothing to do with.

Prove I am wrong.

Is it not in the text of the law? "Made to feel" is not the same as "student felt bad".

If I explicitly tell students "White people did this and it was terrible and you should feel bad"--students were MADE to feel bad.

If I present it as I always have--factually--students feel how they feel. But were not MADE to feel that way.

They can be taught as long as they do not make anyone feel guilty. As soon as someone does so, they can no longer be taught.

Just takes one or two parents to disagree with you and blame you for how their child feels. Then what? You ready to be sued for teaching it the way you always have?

Everyone makes typos, but I have no idea WTF you are trying to say.

If you go on to read the article you linked it says this:

Note the MSNBC chick wants to talk all the race hustle stuff that is CRT. She's mad they can't now. That's why the law is necessary. Parents can sue for anything--and yes it's a pain. Most of these frivolous lawsuits are soon tossed out.

DeSantis said that CRT is “crap” and pledged to pass legislation giving permission for parents and employees to sue if they are subjected to listening to the theory, according to Vanity Fair.

MSNBC’s Ja’han Jones said the bill is about “prioritizing white hypersensitivity over truthful teachings” and notes that “lessons about America’s racist and sexist past are acceptable only if they don’t offend white people.”

“To me, these new demands for fealty to fragile whiteness sound like a re-up of the Black Codes, laws instituted during and after the Civil War to reinforce white supremacy. In some states, the codes permitted capital punishment against Black people for minor crimes like petty theft, allowed whippings for vagrancy and swearing, and banned Black land ownership. Florida’s particularly harsh codes allowed white people to beat Black workers for ‘disrespect,’ as historian Jerrell H. Shofner wrote in his 1976 essay on the state’s racist laws. Historian Joe M. Richardson wrote that white Floridians passed the codes out of fear that their racist world was crumbling around them,” Ja’han said.

“It seems DeSantis and Florida’s GOP-led legislature are operating with a similar fear. They see the facade of white supremacy—weak as it is—crumbling under the weight of high school lesson plans and workplace trainings. And bills like SB 148 are sad attempts to piece that facade back together…. That’s why—if the white parents complaining about Black authors weren’t enough—it’s clear that the Florida bill is designed to coddle white people, even though it doesn’t mention them specifically,” Ja’han added.

Florida follows six other states that have taken measures to ban critical race theory, according to the World Population Review.

/----/ Thanks. As a diamond member, you can edit your posts for a period of time.

 

[Blues Man]

It's stupid that they have to make a bill for what should already be blatantly obvious.

That's all government ever does.

This does more than ban CRT, this makes the opposite of CRT the law of the state now. This bill is just as bad as CRT.

Point that out for me. Because I don't see it.

 

[Mac-7]

Prove I am wrong.

What you wrote is not the wording of the law but merely the angry claim of radical teachers who want to push hate white rhetoric

 

[Anathema]

Can you show the course syllabus where that is occurring in Florida? If so, I completely support your statement

No, I cannot. Nor do I need to. Even if no educator or school is currently teaching this, the law is useful in ensuring that none of them get the ridiculous idea to start doing so. An ounce of prevention…, as they say.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

They can be taught as long as they do not make anyone feel guilty.

Why are they making anyone feel guilty? What's the fucking point of that shit?

These are children. They had NOTHING to do with slavery (a word derived from Slav---white people)

Again, when asshole commies try to put their BULLSHIT out there to erode western society so we will accept communism, THIS is the pushback you get.

Laugh all you want.

YOU FUCKING KNOW I AM RIGHT!!!

They are not "making" them feel bad. But some children might be "man, that is terrible that we did that, I feel bad that happened", which would be in violation of this law
