Gov. DeSantis introduces 'Stop WOKE Act' to combat critical race theory in FL schools

DeSantis wederom met belangrijke wetgeving, deze keer gaat het om het beschermen van burgers (vooral kinderen) tegen het woke gedachtegoed dat mensen graag wilt verdelen op basis van ras.
Dit is het winnende ticket van de GOP, een redelijk alternatief bieden tegen de doorgeslagen gekte die het land in zijn greep heeft.

@:kijkertje, voor het geval het nog niet duidelijk is ik ben een groot voorstander van onderzoeken.
Maar de manier hoe ik de usual suspects weer all in zie gaan laat mij erg denken aan de vorige keren dat het einde voor Trump nabij zou zijn.

quote:

We spreken elkaar over een paar maanden weer wanneer blijkt dat er weer niets overeind is blijven staan en dat ik weer gelijk zal hebben dat dit wederom niets anders is dan politiek theater.
En zo gek vind ik het ook niet, buiten 6 januari hebben de Democraten eigenlijk niet veel meer te melden.
De successen van Biden blijven uit, qua COVID-19 staat de VS er beduidend slechter voor en volgens de media en Biden zelf is hij daar toch echt verantwoordelijk voor.
En dan heb ik het nog niet eens over het covidfascisme van de democratische gouverneurs met als gevolg dat mensen steeds vaker vertrekken uit de blauwe staten.

The announcement of the proposed legislation was denounced by critics and liberals as a political stunt featuring what Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali described as “a racist dog whistle but with a facially neutral cover.” Detractors accuse DeSantis, considered a contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, of inflaming an already contentious culture war over critical race theory, an academic framework for examining the way laws and policies perpetuate systemic racism.

“Stop creating fake problems,” Florida state Rep. Anna V. Eskamani (D) tweeted.

Christina Pushaw, a spokeswoman with DeSantis’s office, told The Washington Post that the proposed legislation is expected to be drafted and brought to the state legislature when the new legislative session begins next month. It would need to be passed into law before the end of March, she said.

“Following the passage of the ban on critical race theory, we realized it was a great first step but that it hadn’t gone far enough,” she said. “We are optimistic about this [proposal] because we do have legislative leaders who are interested in this and support legislative rights.”

By invoking King, DeSantis is following a similar path to former president Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who earlier this year claimed that critical race theory goes “against everything Martin Luther King has ever told us.” That notion from Republican leaders has been rejected by the children of the civil rights leader.

The proposal from DeSantis to allow parents to sue schools over critical race theory comes at the end of a year in which conservatives nationwide have pushed back against racial equity initiatives by schools, including teaching about racism in American history.

With a heightened focus on racial equity in schools in the months after George Floyd’s murder, race became a factor in hundreds of local and statewide elections this year. The issue played a pivotal role in Virginia, where Republican Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin’s victory came, in part, after a campaign in which he emphasized parents’ rights to, for instance, block the teaching in the classroom of a novel that shows the brutality of slavery.

Conservative school board wins may deliver chilling effect on racial equity efforts

In Florida, DeSantis joined other high-profile Republicans in regularly bringing up critical race theory to supporters and donors, accusing public education systems of divisiveness and indoctrination.

The Florida governor’s disdain for the academic framework echoed Trump, whose comments opposing critical race theory were the largest applause line during a North Carolina rally over the summer. After McCarthy, in an interview, accused Democrats of embracing teachings that went against King, his daughter Bernice King said the Republican leader had his history wrong.

“This nation has yet to firmly commit to the intensive, multi-faceted work of eradicating racism against Black people,” she tweeted in response to McCarthy. “You should help with that.”

In June, as tension over the issue began to boil, DeSantis went one step further when the Republican-controlled Board of Education voted to ban public schools from teaching students about critical race theory. Several other states have passed bills banning the teaching of certain race-related issues in schools and elsewhere, with legislation pending in many other states.

On Wednesday, DeSantis called for an expansion of the ban in his proposal. He accused those pushing for racial equity in schools of distorting history:

“Just to understand, when you hear ‘equity’ used, that is just an ability for people to smuggle in their ideology. We don’t need to have these terms.”

Part of the Stop Woke Act would prevent school funding from being put toward consultants connected to critical race theory and would stop staff members from having to go through “anti-racist therapy” or training. DeSantis said that “it violates Florida standards to scapegoat someone based on their race, to say that they are inherently racist, to say that they are an oppressor, or oppressed or any of that, and that’s good and that’s important.”

Some noted how the lawsuit element in DeSantis’s Stop Woke Act appeared to be modeled after a Texas abortion bill signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) that allows citizens to sue anyone they believe may have been involved in helping a pregnant person violate the “heartbeat ban” abortion measure, which prohibits the procedure the moment fetal cardiac activity can be detected.

Pushaw said the structures were different in that the Florida proposal allows a resident to file a lawsuit only if they were personally involved or if they’re a parent of a minor affected by the teachings.

DeSantis was joined onstage by political supporters and advocates, including Christopher Rufo, a documentary filmmaker turned conservative activist whose call to action against critical race theory last year helped spur what has become one of the latest cultural wedge issues in the United States.

“Governor Ron DeSantis is not only protecting all of the employees and students in the state of Florida. He is providing a model for every state in the United States of America,” Rufo said in a news release. “Critical Race Theory is wrong; it offers nothing to improve the lives of anyone of any racial background.”

But Florida Democrats and critics saw Wednesday’s event as political theater.

“In all of my 38 years of living, I have never seen or heard such foolishness,” tweeted state Sen. Shevrin “Shev” Jones (D).

Others worried about the effect the proposed legislation could have in Florida and elsewhere if it were to become law.

“Passing laws like the Stop Woke Act to ban teaching about the existence of racism literally proves a central point of critical race theory — that racism is often built in to our legal system & must be actively purged to achieve true justice,” tweeted Qasim Rashid, a human rights lawyer and SiriusXM personality.

At the end of the event, DeSantis thanked supporters with an unexpected Christmas surprise: signed white hats from the governor.

“And the governor has come bearing some gifts,” he said with a grin before chucking the caps at his supporters. “You guys want a hat? I’m going to fling these into the crowd.”

Gaan we weer hoor, the racist dogwhistle die slechts door progressieven gehoord word.
Een normaal niet racistisch mens ziet dat het tegengaan van CRT op scholen en op de werkvloer juist de relaties tussen rassen bevordert.
Wat ik ook bizar vind is dat CRT niet onderwezen word volgens de progressieven, vervolgens staan ze wel op hun achterste benen als er wetgeving komt om CRT uit de samenleving te verdrijven.
Wat is het nu progressieven word het nu onderwezen of niet? En zo nee waarom dan constant de behoefte om in de pen te klimmen dat tegengaan van CRT racisme is?

Je blijft maar van dit soort stromannen posten. Wie hebben er precies gezegd dat het einde voor Trump nabij zou zijn? Dat mensen vinden dat dat had moeten gebeuren is niet hetzelfde als verwachten dat het daadwerkelijk gebeurt.

En voor alle onderzoeken zijn zegt nog steeds niks over de mate waarin je dit onderzoek belangrijk vindt. Laat ik het anders formuleren want je blijft maar ontwijkende antwoorden geven: Vind je dat er een gegronde reden is (die je zelf belangrijk vindt) dat het onderzocht wordt?

Hier klopt ook weer helemaal niets van (er valt heel veel te melden maar blijkbaar krijg je dat via jouw bronnen niet mee) en leuke afleidingsmanoeuvre maar daar hadden we het helemaal niet over

Trump doet dat ook altijd. Voortdurend afdwalen ipv gewoon antwoord geven op een eenvoudige vraag en een grote behoefte hebben om steeds hetzelfde onzinnige riedeltje af te draaien
