In reply to the discussion: "Do not send your high school senior to any college/university in Florida" is the new message being [View all]Ligyron
(8,006 posts)40. This nonsense is widely ignored in many public schools even now.
I live here and know many in our local education system and they know even more statewide where they all meet up at conferences. Most say it'll be "Why no Governor, we ain't got none of them woke, black studies curricula for trans gendered kids taught around here. No Suh!"
DeSatan won't be Governor for life and this whole thing could die in a couple years, long before they can even put together an effective method to enforce this stupidity.
Most people in Florida do not support this idiocy anyway.
I'll admit it looks bad from the outside as our (their) "official policy", but trying to ban ideas never works. I wouldn't write Florida off just yet.

They don't require AP because that would discriminate against poor kids in communities
