My wife just came back from the Great American Teach-In at my 4th grader's school with a heartbreaking story thanks to DeSantis and the GOP.
My kids are multiracial and my 9 year old is darker-skinned than my 12 year old. A few weeks ago, my 9 year old saw a book at the school Book Fair about two Black brothers, one who was darker-skinned than the other and faced more racism. He didn't have any money to buy it so he asked me to take him to Barnes and Noble when I picked him up so he could buy it with his own money. He told his teacher about the book and asked her to read an excerpt of it to his class. She wanted to read it but she told him he couldn't because she didn't want to be accused of teaching CRT.
This is the whole purpose in a nutshell. It's all about scaring teachers into teaching white supremacy by default by putting the emotions of angry white parents ahead of actual education. Republicans including people like jhmd, Angus, and sailor want my kid to feel bad about his racial background so white kids don't have to face other people's realities.
