Celebrating diversity is not education- it is indoctrination. Black history should be part of the core history curriculum or be an elective. A Jewish boss told I must watch a holocaust documentary. I told him that had nothing to do with my job and I saw no reason to subject myself to despair. DeSantis is wildly popular in Florida, but I am not sure it translates to national appeal.
His policies have decimated the school system here. The teachers who quit are being replaced by members of the military. No teaching experience or degrees necessary.
Ron DeSantis retaliates against Florida venue that hosted drag show in December
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis® has moved to retaliate against an Orlando-based performing arts venue in his state that recently hosted a drag show back in December of last year. According to HuffPost, the Republican governor’s move came after a 27-page complaint was filed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The complaint accused the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation of violating Florida state law by “knowingly” welcoming attendees under the age of 18 to watch a show called “A Drag Queen Christmas.”
He may be popular with the racists, white supremacists and rednecks in Florida, however on the national stage he needs the Black vote,the Jewish vote and the Senior Citizen vote plus the Hispanic vote! He will lose if he runs for President!
He and his fans have such low self-esteem that they are frightened of anyone not a white, heterosexual [possibly], christian [at least in public], wealthy [originalists would say “landowning”] man. What if the “others” actually were to achieve the “American dream”!
“Historically, the conservative has favored liberty for the higher orders and constraint for th [possibly]e lower orders. What the conservative sees and dislikes in equality, in other words, is not a threat to freedom but its extension. For in that extension, he sees a loss of his own freedom. ‘We are all agreed as to our own liberty,’ declared Samuel Johnson. ‘But we are not agreed as to the liberty of others: for in proportion as we take, others must lose.’” – The Reactionary Mind
@JohnHBaggett If by “perversion” you mean “way out of the ordinary”, then you’d have to include Shakespeare, Beethoven, Joan of Arc, Nelson Mandela, Einstein, and Michelangelo, who were about as far from ordinary people as you can imagine, each in a certain direction. But I suspect that you’re actually obsessed with sex, so that’s the only deviancy from the norm that matters to you.

They say those who fail to learn from history’s mistakes are doomed to repeat them…but it’s even harder if you burn them.
