Can someone tldr all this Florida shit? It seems to me Florida teachers aren’t allowed to teach basic…well education unless they’re including some weird Christian shit.
Well I know an AP English lit teacher in Florida who has been told he is not even allowed to teach Vonnegut, and has been instructed to teach parts of the Bible. Does that help?
AP psych courses have stricter standards than other courses (so that they qualify as AP). AP psych standards, for 30ish years, have required instructions on gender identity.
This guy. I swear that after he’s passed on, and they’re lowering him into the ground, he’ll somehow, some way, still be commiting felonies from inside the casket.
While the title of the story is interesting, this tidbit was buried further down:
Sound of Freedom" surprised critics by smashing box office projections, grossing more than $150 million so far. The film had a $14.5 million budget. Social media users have suggested that the film is using “astroturfing,” a practice of buying up hundreds of tickets to make theaters appear sold out, to inflate its success.
Several TikToks have gone viral showing “Sound of Freedom” theaters that were supposedly sold out completely empty once the movie begins.
They’re also asking people who do see it to “donate” an extra ticket’s worth of money to them to supposedly allow someone else to see it. The grift never ends.
That’s how a ton of politicians “NYT best sellers” books are done. They’ll use campaign funds to buy up a ton of books and then give them out for free at rallies and shit.
They only started doing that within the last 5-10 years iirc though
And the list isn’t purely sales numbers anyway as they admitted in the 80s in a legal case. It isn’t mathematically objective but rather done on a subjective editorial scale. They choose which books to have on a subjective scale that doesn’t even have to take sales into account.
They had a pay it forward program to buy others tickets so that they could see it to spread the message. It’s a great marketing strategy for the studio to have an inflated sense of how important the movie is.
Surprised that only one of them has been rooted out so far. The whole movement is projection and deflection. There’s a serious problem of child abuse in right wing culture that they’re not willing to taking about.
For Republican candidates, no word has hijacked political discourse quite like “woke,” a term few can define but many have used to capture what they see as left-wing views on race, gender and sexuality that have strayed far beyond the norms of American society.
Taryn Fenske, DeSantis’ Communications Director said “woke” was a “slang term for activism…progressive activism” and a general belief in systemic injustices in the country.
I don’t know, I’d say the term ‘racism’ (another word with multiple conflicting definitions) has hijacked political discourse more than ‘woke’.
I’m pretty sure the hijacking that the term racism has been through is the reason woke is used so much. Cause when you’re woke you think everything’s racism
I hope SO MUCH that Trump’s trial has an equivalent to Alex Jones’ “your lawyer sent me a copy of your entire cell phone” moment, where we get to see him shit his pants in real time.
Disagree. This “man” seeks to rule over us he doesn’t get common decency of any kind.
That goes for every single politician, CEO, manager, boss, cop, etc. You want the job then get fucking roasted. Your job as this so called authority figure is to take it on the chin and be better than us to a point we don’t feel the need to roast you over petty shit.
The problem with this world is we don’t bully authority enough.
