1. Boy I hope the get this passed before Black History Month starts

Otherwise people could find stuff out.

How could I go through Virginia public schools and I never heard John Punch or Massive Resistance? That literally happened where I lived.

7. Go fund me for butt lube?

Rather than tie up the legislature, school boards, enforcement apparati, wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to send all the Rs a tube of butt lube?

[KS Toronado]

2. FKN SNOWFLAKE describes Rs pretty well

They're still shedding tears over 2020 election.

3. Look up "Orwellian" in a dictionary, you'll find a description of this bill and an image of DeSantis

[ZonkerHarris]

17. Orwellian was the word that popped into my mind reading this article to

[YoshidaYui]

4. is this for real?? IS he for real??

This asshole maybe running for President .. provided his SEMI GOD ALLOWS him to. (Yes that asshole.)

[CrispyQ]

5. There was an article yesterday about a growing rift between the two.

Trump doesn't like to be challenged. I hope they both run. It will turn into a poo flinging fest.

[YoshidaYui]

8. Republicans will eat it up like

they were given sugar sweets...before a debate...LET them DRAW blood.... I hate the Republican party.

[CrispyQ]

14. They've gotten so mean & hateful, & their denial of science is killing us & the planet.

It's impacted my opinion of people I know who still identify with the party. I don't know how kind & decent people still support & vote republican.

[YoshidaYui]

20. its really no longer a legitimate party...

Its more like they would pick PUTIN over Biden..its beyond disgusting to me.

6. If it's that easy to legislate feelings, I have a list. Kermit's Rainbow song for starters.

9. Don't want people to know that Florida had the most lynchings per capita of any state

or about the Rosewood massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood_massacre or any of their many other racial violence incidents.

Best to just erase history while preserving confederate statues since "we can't erase history"

[Ford_Prefect]

10. But wait there's more! Texas and Wisconsin are considering similar bills now!

...Or reality?

[IronLionZion]

11. Texas has been teaching alternative facts in their textbooks for years

so why not make it law

[sab390]

12. This is the best one yet

All of your weekend round ups are great and these pictures are amazing. This is great work but I think this one is the best.

[11 Bravo]

13. That is flat-out BRILLIANT!

Major kudos to the genius who coined this particular acronym!

[gab13by13]

15. Waiting for one of these racists

to pass a law that black people are 3/5 person.

[wnylib]

21. They don't need a new law for that.

They're still upholding the old one.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

16. K&R

[Baitball Blogger]

18. Government can't impose these kind of laws.

Major First Amendment infringement.

[wnylib]

22. But which way would the current SC rule on that?

[paleotn]

25. This court tends to take personal liberty a bit too far.

as seen in their ruling on federal vaccination mandates. So, I doubt very seriously they will impinge on a private business's freedom of speech. So far, they stand with freedumb, not fascism. Yet that is.

[paleotn]

24. HUGE infringement.

It's dead from the word go.

[The Jungle 1]

19. There were 5000 DOCUMENTED lynchings in the nation.

Who knows how many there really were. Ahmaud Arbery was lynched! Lynchings were generally a prolonged period of torture followed by murder.
So I guess there is no way we will teach that the American military was still taking scalps during Vietnam and command knew it? Or that the whole war was a false flag operation.
38 Dakota Native American men were hanged at Mankato in 1862. It was not really a hanging because the ropes were to shot. Wonder how that happened? They were strangled to death. Just for the delight of the spectators. 38 all at once. I know I did not learn of it in school.
Thing is if we teach this stuff we won't be able to do it again. Can't have that.
It hurts my feelings that this nation does not want to teach this history.

[paleotn]

23. Private businesses? Umm...no.

That just won't fly constitutionally. I don't think it would fly as far as public schools either if it were vigorously litigated.

[tclambert]

26. Republicans are against teaching basic American History.

All you can teach is American Rah-Rah Propaganda 101.

[raging moderate]

27. I am "white," and Ron's version of history makes me feel "discomfort."

So I think that this law, if they pass it, should be used against them. I, and everybody even a little like me, should make it our business to start suing these nasty racists for making us "feel discomfort." I think we are not nearly aggressive enough in turning the tables on them and using their ignorant agendas against them.

[Jon King]

28. Laugh all we want, it worked in VA suburbs.

Do not discount the Repug messaging on this. Its been that they are not denying the past but they are merely saying today's white people should not be held responsible for the sins of their ancestors. We may think its silly but they are proving to be uite good at messaging to suburban Biden voters who only switched due to the bungling of the Covid response.

[StocktonNative]

29. So DeSantis is a Southern Revisionists.

Who would have guessed!
