Florida just approved PragerU Kids’ right-wing propaganda videos for use in public school classrooms. There's copaganda, celebrations of colonialism, and more. Follow along for some lessons DeSantis et al are foisting on students.

Rereading some of this and how would putting that much of an emphasis and Christianity be legal?

Oh, and there's also this guy. Woman writes a memoir in which she discusses being raped at age 18. He claims its pornography and should be removed from high school libraries.

The Pensacola News-Journal reports that while CDC researchers have witnessed an uptick in what is now more politely referred to as Hansen’s Disease in several states — 159 cases in 2020 alone — 20 percent of those cases came from Central Florida alone and 34 percent of the new patients in that area were likely infected from exposure to other humans in Florida with the condition, rather than through the usual risk factors, such as traveling to areas of the world where it is more common or by palling around with armadillos. (Note to self, however — avoid armadillos)

The CDC report warns that Hansen’s Disease is close to becoming endemic in Florida and recommends that doctors keep it in mind when treating patients who have traveled there, should they show any symptoms.

Henrietta Lacks: Family of black woman whose cells were taken settle case

Henrietta Lacks' cells were harvested in 1951 without her consent and used for medical research.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, who represented the family in the negotiations with Thermo Fisher, said the procedure done by doctors left her in pain at the end of her life.

He said the mistreatment she received is similar to experiences suffered by other black Americans who have sought help from US doctors.
"The exploitation of Henrietta Lacks represents the unfortunately common struggle experienced by black people throughout history," according to the lawsuit that led to Monday's settlement.
"Too often, the history of medical experimentation in the United States has been the history of medical racism."

Placing here because many republicans claim systemic racism has never existed.

In Orlando at a convention for the African Methodist Episcopal Women's Missionary Society, Harris attacked "extremists" for passing laws that restrict abortion and the right to vote, and said now they "attempt to erase and even rewrite the ugly parts of our history."

Without mentioning DeSantis' name, Harris said Tuesday that the invite for a roundtable on the topic was an "attempt to legitimize these unnecessary debates" about slavery.

"I'm here in Florida. And I will tell you, there is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact. There were no redeeming qualities of slavery," Harris said to a standing ovation from the crowd.

FTR, I don't think I've ever seen any repubs on TF claim systemic racism hasn't existed in the USA. Might've missed it and nowadays it wouldn't surprise me, but I don't recall it.

I feel like our old friend and only Trump appointee to be blocked from the bench Brett made that claim in one of his "The Klan wasn't so bad" arguments but I could be recalling that wrong

there was this from a thread about espn on the football forum during the 2020 season. similar points have been made (although maybe not as explicitly) many times over the years on the ns board

I heard two terms during the broadcast that are very disturbing. Systematic racism and micro-aggressions. The only systemic racism today is affirmative action.
