1. According to @GovRonDeSantis, textbook publishers are trying to indoctrinate students by incorporating "woke" concepts into social studies textbooks
But DeSantis has provided few details
So we've obtained Florida's reviews of the textbooks
Follow along if interested

Fake fears:
1. "Woke."
2. Trans youth.
3. Cancel culture.
4. Raising debt ceiling.
All manufactured to divert attention from the income and wealth being siphoned off by the top.
Texans own among the most guns per capita of any state. If more guns and fewer gun laws made us safer, Texas would be the safest state. Instead it has high rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to four of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the US.
Allen, Texas
A 6 year old can carry a gun in public in the state of Missouri.
In Texas, an 18 year old can buy two AR-15s and 1,600 bullets in the span of two days.
In the state of Florida, you can carry concealed weapons and firearms without a background check, training or a license.
But a woman seeking a safe medication abortion cannot buy mifepristone.
Republicans want to control what clothes you wear, what books you read, what history you learn, what medication you can take, what words you can say, what gender you are, who you can love or marry, and what you can or cannot do with your own body but when it comes to controlling gun violence… they say there’s “nothing they can do about it”???
Are you fucking kidding me?
Wages grew only 0.2% from Jan to Feb according to today’s jobs report.
Translation: Were not dealing with a “wage-price” spiral — wage gains pushing up prices.
We’re dealing with a “profit-price” spiral — corporate profits driving up prices.
Stop raising interest rates.
It’s been said before, but if you don’t like abortion, don’t have one, if you’re not attracted to someone who is the same sex as you, don’t date them, if you don’t like drag queens, don’t go to a drag show, and if you don’t like that Target has boy clothes with rainbows on them, don’t shop there. No one is forcing you to do ANY of that shit, so stop trying to prevent the rest us from being able to. You ignorant, bigoted f*cks.
Mass shootings in the US:
2014: 273

2018: 336
2019: 417
2020: 610

We do not have to live like this. No other country on the planet does.
Make no mistake: Companies are using inflation as a smokescreen to hike prices and rake in record profits. 2021 was the most profitable year for American corporations since 1950.
