Florida censors 'racism' references out of college textbook 


Now DeSantis’ appointees have intensified the whitewashing by gutting a collegiate sociology textbook that discusses racism and gender inequality.
As the Orlando Sentinel recently reported, the gubernatorial appointees who oversee the state’s university system recently approved disemboweling an intro-to-sociology textbook, removing more than half of its content, including an entire chapter on “Race and Ethnicity,” which are pretty key concepts in sociology.

When the erasure enthusiasts were done, they had deleted more than 400 pages from a textbook that originally had 667, a slew of examples about how women have experienced gender discrimination and almost all references to racism.

History lessons in the “Free State of Florida” are now often free of facts and uncomfortable truths.


Though the original book examined social movements from recent years, Florida’s historical hackers decided to pretend like many largely never existed, all but erasing references to how America reacted to the killing of Black Americans like Trayvon Martin and George Floyd.

In the original version, trailblazer Shirley Chisholm was mentioned nine times when examining why it took this country nearly two centuries to elect a Black woman to Congress. In the new version, Chisholm is relegated to a single footnote.

5. Will this trigger a brain drain in Florida, or has that already happened?

I can't imagine anyone going to college there who wants an actual education. I wonder if people could do correspondent courses from schools outside the state.

6. There are loads of colleges offering on line degrees these days,

Unfortunately, a lot of those degrees are being offered by overpriced, for profit schools of wildly varying quality, but there are some fully accredited, high quality programs out there as well. I hope many Floridians take advantage of the latter opportunities instead of wasting their money on the watered down curriculum currently available at Florida colleges.

7. Sure racist don't want kids to

Know what racism is. And parents don't like it when their kids figure out their mom and dad are racist. They want their kids to be just like them.

8. So wait....

The vast majority of college students are legally adults, yes? (age 18 is considered legally an adult). So why are these stupid dipshits acting like they are high school students?
Violating the first amendment rights of Florida adults. Smh.
