Why Florida SHOULD Ban the So-Called "African-American History" Course

February 4, 2023 9:56am

As usual, the Fake News has once again lied about Governor DeSantis and the Florida law that caused the state Department of Education to reject a College Board AP course on African-American History. If all you've heard is what the propaganda press spoon-fed you - which is pretty much all the fake news told you (well, that and that Ron DeSantis is a racist) - you probably think the curriculum should not have been rejected. But it absolutely should have been. What Florida has done is ban anti-America propaganda not "courses."

There is a very valid reason the state of Florida will not be participating in the new so-called "history" course. The syllabus for that AP class is heavy on Leftist propaganda and short on actual historical facts. It includes several destructive elements of Critical Race Theory. Somehow, the authors found it important to include Queer Theory in their program (Queer Theory is the indoctrination of pro-LGBTQAI+ and whatever other non-traditional sexual deviancy of the day is being promoted).

Florida is one of several states that have properly banned public schools from teaching Critical Race Theory. Most people have no clue what Critical Race Theory actually is. The Democrats and their allies in the propaganda press want you to believe CRT is nothing more than teaching about the race-based slavery that once existed in America; and that all CRT does is educate people about America's racist past. But what Critical Race Theory ACTUALLY is is the teaching that America was founded by racists who hated black people; that the laws of America are still racist against black people; and that the only solution to the problem of a racist America that discriminates against black people is to mandate that we now discriminate against white people.

Critical Race Theory separates Americans into two groups based solely upon skin color. If you're white, you're an evil oppressor, and if you're any other color, you're oppressed by the evil white people. And that applies to every white person in America - because even if a white person judges people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, the society we live in is so inherently racist, that ALL white people benefit from 400 years of oppressing black people to the extent that all whites are racists themselves - even if they don't want to be, and even if they exhibit no racism themselves. CRT is the teaching that the American society itself is so racist and so based upon white supremacy that no white people can avoid being racists themselves.

It is a system intended to cause people, especially black people, to hate America; and for people, especially black people, to blame any and every problem in their lives on the fact that a black man was brought to America as a slave in 1619; and as a result, every cultural norm, every rule, every regulation, every law, every everything is designed to further oppress the black man. And the black woman.

The NAACP, which supports brainwashing our kids with their destructive Leftist propaganda describes Critical Race Theory as an academic framework to teach that "racism is more than the result of individual bias and prejudice. It is embedded in laws, policies and institutions that uphold and reproduce racial inequalities."

But contrary to what the Leftist activists want you to believe, they don't just want to teach our youth that slavery was once legal in America. That is a fact. And it is a fact that SHOULD be taught. And not just “should” be taught. The history of slavery MUST be taught. But the black & white version (if you'll pardon the pun) that is currently taught gives the false impression that slavery existed only in the American South. It did not. Slavery existed across the planet for millennia.

Slavery in the Caribbean and South America existed almost a century before any English colonies were established in what is now the United States. And the last slaves in the U.S. to be freed were freed in the Union states of New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware. Those are provable historical facts. But 99% of people would say they're untrue solely because they've never learned it.

There is no nice way to teach about slavery because slavery isn't nice. But to teach a false version is to deny truthful knowledge. It is a disservice to both free people today and to the millions of enslaved people who preceded us.

Moreover, Critical Race Theory is NOT just the teaching of America's racist past. It is the false propaganda that everything about America is still racist, and that the only remedy is to abolish capitalism and impose new race-based discriminatory policies that punish people who never owned slaves, so people who never were slaves can be unjustly compensated for past atrocities. It is a political movement whose purpose is to destroy the United States as a free, capitalist Republic. And it's disgraceful.

We should NOT teach that the remedy for past atrocities is to commit present atrocities. But that is exactly what Critical Race Theory indoctrination does. The ultimate goal of CRT is to punish people today for the sins of their ancestors in the distant past; and not just ancestors who lived in America back when slavery was legal. Proponents of CRT want to punish ALL white people no matter when they or their families came to America.

Critical Race Theory began as college level propaganda. But its tenets have permeated the K-12 public schools in a deliberate effort to raise a generation of misinformed Americans who hate their country. Division of society by race is the essential foundation of CRT. And the proposed so-called "remedy" is a socialist Utopia that favors the so-called "oppressed" over the so-called "oppressors." It demands "corrective" racism against white people in modern society. It labels all white people as evil oppressors and all black people as oppressed victims of a currently racist society.

Don't believe me? You think I'm making this up? I assure you I'm not. I have studied this issue extensively. Do you know who Ibram X. Kendi is? Ibram X. Kendi is a professor at Boston University who serves as the director of its Center for Antiracist Research. He is one of the leading proponents of CRT. Despite being a racist himself, he wrote a book titled “How to Be an Antiracist.” In that book he wrote, "the only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." Kendi advocates racial discrimination TODAY - as long as that discrimination is only against white people.

Whatever happened to people should be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character? Well, those wise words of Martin Luther King are no longer the goal of today's so-called "civil rights leaders." Today's so-called "civil rights leaders" base EVERYTHING on skin color and nothing on content of character. And they're pushing that racial hate into the schools. And THAT is why Florida has banned the teaching of Critical Race Theory in Florida classrooms.

The lying Leftists - and that includes a frighteningly large percentage of public school teachers - will tell you the schools are NOT teaching Critical Race Theory. And if you look at the titles of their lesson plans, you won't find the words "Critical Race Theory." They're not so stupid as to make their subterfuge obvious. But the tenets of CRT are absolutely being taught to America's youth. It's just being called something else, so they can deny it's being taught. But a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet. And CRT by any other name would still be just as false and just as destructive.

This is America. Activists have a First Amendment Right to lie. But no public money should ever be used to help promulgate their lies. And that is why the public schools must NOT be allowed to teach students a false history that instructs them to hate America's past and to hate America's present. Florida is right in outlawing it. And shame on those states that allow taxpayer money to teach our youth - youth of all colors - to hate "whitey." Because while "whitey" was certainly responsible for racism back in the day. Whitey isn't responsible for it now. To the extent that racism exists today, there is a group of people who ARE responsible. They're called Democrats. And they're disgusting. And dangerous.
