    The parents aren’t the kids, and it’s wrong to punish the kids for their parents actions. I am from Florida. I grew up there. I used college to get out. I’m trans and I’d probably be dead if I hadn’t left. Even when I was in school there was “lost cause” Daughters of the Confederacy bullshit snuck in the curriculum. Just because they try to brainwash the kids doesn’t mean they succeed. And I doubt they will, the internet makes that very difficult. And just because it’s in the curriculum doesn’t mean teachers won’t push back - most of them will. The kids who want out of Florida will be a self selected group who probably already got a better history education through Wikipedia than was offered in school and know that what they were taught was either incomplete or bullshit. This is why general education requirements in college exist - they address what the student may have missed in high school for one reason or another.

      Great, you got out, and now there’s one less voter in Florida trying to stop the stupid shit. I guess the gop plan to chase left wingers out of their states is working.

      I can’t slap stupid parents upside the head any more. Apparently it’s illegal or some shit. So the best I can do is loudly laugh when they’re victimized by their own fucked up choices.
