Florida student's 'discomfort' causes cancellation of civil rights class - Alex Wagner - MSNBC



Alex Wagner relays reporting of the cancellation of a U.S. government class at Eastern Florida State College after a student felt "discomfort" over a discussion of civil rights, seen as an indication of the successful terrorizing of the Florida academic system by Ron DeSantis even with his "Stop WOKE Act" yet to be implemented. - Aired on 03/24/2023.

Have the "student" take a Different class. Don't ban books for other normal folk. MagaSmash Mar 2023 #2

That happened when I was in college, people switched courses. They cancel an entire class because one kid didn't like it? That's insane...
