    “X supports Y which has component Z” and “X is part of group A” does not mean “A supports Z” and it doesn’t necessarily mean “X supports Z.”

    I understand attacking Ron DeSantis over the PragerU position, but even then, there’s still a lot of nuance being missed (i.e. does the proposed curriculum in question include that content, or are they selecting other parts of the content from PragerU?).

    I’m all for bashing conservatives, especially DeSantis in particular, but this is so much of a stretch that it seems more like an ad hominem than an actual criticism.

      It is explicitly laid out in the accepted curriculum. This isn’t some niche thing, or some fringe school. This is the curriculum of the entire state of Florida that’s already been agreed on.

      When all (and yes, I mean all) of group A shows that they regularly engage in racist, homophobic, transphobic and sexist rhetoric it’s safe to assume that X supports Z.

        Then I guess I’ll have to familiarize myself with the proposed curriculum. I don’t live there, but I do have family there. If you have a resource for what specific changes they’re making, I’m interested in reading it.

        That said, I live in a very conservative part of the US and that kind of BS would never fly here. So either someone is making mountains out of mole hills, or Florida is going completely nuts. The first seems more likely.
