President Biden on Monday said that all Americans must speak up because diversity is being attacked, remarks he made while marking 60 years of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
The event comes just days after a deadly shooting in Jacksonville, Fla., killed three Black Americans, which is suspected to be racially motivated. The president bashed attacks on diversity such as book bans, which are happening in states including Florida and are targeting books about slavery and Black history, among other topics.
“Now is the time for all Americans to speak up when history’s being erased, books are being banned. Did you ever think we’d have this conversation here, at this time?” Biden said in remarks. “Diversity’s being attacked.”
We are, ya assholes!
Meanwhile, how much federal government money is being handed over by Biden’s Education Department to the state of Florida so they have the resources to keep telling students slavery was actually a good thing for black people?
Would you rather they play hostage with the funding instead? The kids already have a lot of shit to deal with, cutting funding completely would hit the bad schools and the good ones.
Exactly. What we need is the dept of education to come down hard on the state, not to further deplete the education funding. That’s exactly what these ghouls want. They want public education to fail so they can shovel even more public funds into their own pockets via private school vouchers
In Florida, they are all compelled by law to be bad schools. Cutting funding will force Florida to make up the difference. Maybe not in whole, but a lot of it.
But that said, I’m not sure if there’s an existing legal mechanism to accomplish this and you’re sure not going to get a new one through Congress right now.
