OUR CHOICE

What is Gov. DeSantis afraid of? Is it really that white children will feel guilty about our past? Doesn’t he know that most kids today don’t care about what happened 15 minutes ago?

Is it the fear that more knowledge will lead to more questions about t’sheir government actions?

Isn’t shutting down one path of learning and demanding another just a different form of indoctrination?

If any feel guilt at whatever happened in American history, let them reflect on that, then work to change those things. Don’t sweep it under the rug and ignore it.

If white children have a bit of trauma about the past, how must Black or Latino children feel about living through it?

From elementary schools to colleges to businesses to private citizens, there is a move to make all conform to the will of the government. This has been tried many times before; it’s called fascism. Educated minds are its greatest enemy. While some rail against all of the other “-isms,” one is happening right under our noses.

Do we stop it now or deal with the effects later?

AGENDA POLITICS

Gov. DeSantis is being throttled by the media and others for trying to block Black history.

Perhaps he senses the push is an excuse for agenda politics and not pure Black history, after all?

Why are we focusing today on Black this and that, if agenda politics is not at the bottom of the obvious overemphasis?

Surely, we have ignored Asian and Middle Eastern contributions to America, and others, with not nearly the same day-to-day coverage and treatment. Anyone asking why?
