“All of them,” yet still no specifics.

What major players/actions/events in LGBTQ history and discrimination are being ignored in the classrooms?
We already do, which is why the FL laws and the laughable denial right wing Americans have when it comes to teaching sexuality in Americans schools.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 11:33 pm Or should we start mentioning the orientation of famous figures in history?
My AP American History class in high school taught Chickamauga as well as Gettysburg. Chancellorsville, too!kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2023 1:41 am I’m fine with the schools keeping out of anything to do with sexuality. Including all the things you mentioned you learned.
But that knowledge was likely learned from a friend, in the schoolyard, teacher aside, or the tonight show.
As for your question- why would black history be removed?
It’s a real, important, and relevant part of history.
There are a lot of things that have happened in history. It doesn’t mean public schools need to spend valuable
class time teaching it. It’s why they taught us Gettysburg but not Chickamauga.
How about the equivalent of the Emmett Tills because if we go through history there’s probably a lot of gross injustices and that will educate the future on how not to act or behave in society in a manner that will improve all of us.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 11:33 pmIt was a simple question.a fan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 11:18 amI don't understand what you're missing, Kram. Did you not read the above FLA Statutes? They're fighting to make it so that teachers can't mention LGBTQ at all. So "what history" is being ignored? All of it. 100%.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 10:21 ama fan wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 1:18 pmHere's a conversation I just had with Ohmilax. This is the State of Florida's discriminatory laws surrounding education and LGBTQ....kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 11:49 am May I ask- what is the "Trans Movement?"
What is this demographic looking for and wanting? What rights are being disallowed?
I'm not following this as a marriage or voting rights movement. What is it all about?
States are actively REMOVING their rights, Kram. That's why you're hearing the noise from the left. States all over the country are moving to basically make it so that K-12 pretends like there's no such thing as Gay, let alone Trans, and attempting to punish teachers who dare to mention it. They're not doing a very good job at it, as the wording of the laws are a complete mess....which is increasing teacher vacancies in places like Florida at light speed because they don't really know what they can or can't do without breaking the law.
It's a mess.
Does Ohmilax or anyone else have a comment here? It's clear as day that LGBTQ folks don't have the same rights given to Hispanics, Black Americans, Women, etc. in Florida schools, where DeSantis and Co. are singling them out, and teaching children about discrimination of everyone EXCEPT LGBTQ.a fan wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 2:36 pmNo problem! I think a lot of the concerns are coming from folks who don't have kids, and so they don't have the slightest idea what's mandated instruction in schools in 2023. I have an eight year old, fwiw.ohmilax34 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 1:16 pm
Understood. What rights are we talking about here? My post right before this one asks the same question.
Muslim parents don't want their kids exposed/indoctrinated (use your preferred term) and lgbtq counter protest because the right they're fighting for is___________. I need help with this.
The Mandated Curriculum we discussed before was Florida's.....
Here's part (part...they have more sections that are far more detailed) of the 2022 Mandatory teachings for FLA public schools. Take a look around. You'll find they MANDATE teachings on anti-semitism, racism, sexism, discrimination of all kinds, the power of meritocracy. There's a week for the Holocaust. Big section on African American experience. Section on women's experience. Section on Hispanic experience.
Andd sex ed, community studies...including mandatory discussions on the family unit. Mandatory instruction on the evils of discrimination. And on and on.
....so looking at all this, and all the things that every Florida school MUST teach, do you think it's reasonable to completely exclude any and all mention whatsoever of LGBTQ? Because that's what's being attempted in many, many States.
They're literally saying: not only do we not acknowledge your existence, we're going to complete ignore, and not discuss discrimination of LGBTQ, while we MANDATE discussions of literally every other form of discrimination in America, and every other form of the American family. How do you discuss family without discussing sexuality? Impossible. You can't....but they're trying.
Does this help?
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/ind ... 03.42.html
They don't have the same rights. Full stop. You can teach about this history of discrimination of women or black Americans....but you are FORBIDDEN from teaching about LGBTQ discrimination? Not only is that absurd, it's incredibly ironic.
Libraries around the country are working to strip all books that so much as mention anything LGBTQ

Curious what you think about this.
If it isn’t taught how do you know it doesn’t exist? History written by the “winners” or whatever that axiom is, right? Education, however is about exploration, learning and understanding.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2023 12:15 am “All of them,” yet still no specifics.

well, I’d call it more disgust at those who would ban books than “hate” but it is certainly a strong emotion.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2023 12:00 pmYou have a lot of hate in your heart.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2023 11:58 amHow long before the book would get banned in Florida...?jhu72 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2023 10:19 am... that was pretty much my thought as well.
