With the new school year starting up across the country, what are some typical classroom and school discussions we’d see under the leadership of current Florida Governor Ron DeSantis?

Let\u2019s start with 6th GRADE US HISTORY<\/span>

Teacher:<\/strong> When the American Colonies got started, Black people came to America from Africa came to find a better life. They believed they could gain some valuable skills by working as slaves for the Southern Plantation owners. Despite that, some Americans believed that these Black slaves should be freed.
Student:<\/strong> So who is Dr. Martin Luther King and what is the Civil Rights movement all about?
Teacher:<\/strong> That one is quite puzzling. Black people really had it good, especially in the South with the Jim Crow laws of the first half of the 20th century. Black children got to attend their own schools so they could learn better with their own kind. And you know those long lines women often face a events like concerts? Black women and men did not have to wait in those lines; they had their own special bathrooms, and they had their own water fountains, and they had their own special entrance in the back of restaurants where they often ate in the kitchen area and could watch the food being cooked.
Student:<\/strong> Cool!
Teacher:<\/strong> And Black people got the best seats in the movie theater; they got to sit in the second balcony. I guess Dr. King felt that Black people should not be treated special, but should be treated equally as everyone else.
Student:<\/strong> Gosh, if I were a Black person, I wouldn\u2019t want Dr. King to take away all these special rights.
Teacher:<\/strong> You got it. And tomorrow we will talk about the excellent facilities we housed Japanese-Americans in to keep them safe during World War II, and next week we will learn about how settlers came over from Europe to bring the savage natives that were living here a better life.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>Then we move to a DISCUSSION IN A FIRST GRADE CLASSROOM<\/span>

Student:<\/strong> Jimmy just shared with me that he has two mommies instead of a mommy and daddy. How can that happen?
Teacher:<\/strong> We are not allowed to talk about this.
Student:<\/strong> But can two women fall in love and get married like my mommy and daddy?
Teacher:<\/strong> Please be quiet, we are not allowed to discuss this.
Student:<\/strong> But why not?
Teacher:<\/strong> Because our government said so.
Student:<\/strong> But why?
Teacher:<\/strong> I guess it is because people like Jimmy\u2019s mommies are bad, abnormal people and we should not be talking about them.
Student:<\/strong> I am glad I have a good mommy and daddy instead of two bad mommies.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

In many states, parents will be unable to provide their trans children with necessary healthcare.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

And finally to a JUNIOR HIGH LUNCH ROOM DISCUSSION:<\/span>

Teen 1:<\/strong> Guess what? I used to have a sister, but now he\u2019s my brother. Angela shared with my parents that he always felt like he was a boy inside and wants to be treated like a boy, so now his name is Andrew.
Teen 2:<\/strong> That\u2019s cool that he gets to be who he feels he is.
Teen 1:<\/strong> Yea, my parents have been working with a physician and a psychologist, and he is taking hormones which make him feel even more like a boy. But we may need to move to another state since the state government is making this illegal.
Teen 2:<\/strong> What? How? I thought they passed a parent\u2019s bill of rights stating that parents have the right to guide their children\u2019s lives; to know what books they are reading in school and stuff. Why doesn\u2019t this apply here? Shouldn’t parents have the right to help their kids with their gender?
Teen 1:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think it works that way. I think this parents bill of rights crap only applies to parents who agree with these politicians.
Teen 2:<\/strong> Damn! I can\u2019t wait until I am old enough to vote.
