Ron DeSantis Is Erasing Black History From Florida Schools
"This February marks the first Black History Month in Florida since governor Ron DeSantis announced his proposal for the “Stop W.O.K.E” act. Much of that proposal ended up being adopted into a sweeping bill called the “Individual Freedom Act,” which DeSantis signed into law. Given the chilling effect this legislation has had on public education in the Sunshine State, there are real questions about just how celebratory this month will actually be for Black history in classrooms. After all, just as February got underway, DeSantis announced plans to prevent state colleges from funding programs on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Stop W.O.K.E. law, which limits and prohibits how public schools and businesses discuss race and gender, has been challenged by several advocacy groups, such as the ACLU of Florida and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Chief US district judge Mark Walker granted a temporary injunction against parts of the law in November, calling certain defenses put forth by the act’s proponents “positively dystopian.”"
