Florida, what are we doing?

The relative silence from other groups re: AP African American Studies mess is quite... loud.
Imagine a state trying to formally wipe Jewish history, Asian American history, or other marginalized groups from AP curricula.
If they come for us, they can come for yall, too.
Remember when DeSantis thought it was unconstitutional to be required to share your vaccine status?
