Ron DeSantis isn't the only one who wants to erase Black history. This is something America has been trying to do since the beginning.
If anything, DeSantis is emblematic of a much larger problem, one that’s not only centered around race but one that concerns the freedoms and civil liberties inherent to any given democracy. Recent history has already shown us what effect the banning of books and denial of human experiences has on a society, and we are steadily headed in that direction.
This is all right out of the ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) playbook. If you don't know about ALEC, who funds them, and what their agenda is, you should. Dismantling public schools and higher education institutions is high on their priorities list. Getting the population who should be allied to split apart is key to maintaining their power.
Without education, there can be no understanding. That’s part of their goal.

This is the part I don't really understand. Anyone who is not a wealthy white male racist asshole should be running from the GOP riught now. And yet you hear stories of how, for example, Latinos in some districts are leaning Republican. They would be among the people these rich a-holes would like to deport or enslave (MAYBE they'll let you stay in the USA if you'll clean their toilets for one-fifth of minimum wage, assuming you don't get shot by some mob of right-wing gun-toting extremists) but yet somehow they have been convinced that voting for Republicans is the better choice. What could possibly make them think that is beyond my comprehension!
