I am hoping that Florida's so-called new Black History curriculum gets challenged by organizations such as the NAACP and the Southern Poverty Law Center. In no way, shape, or form was slavery a good or acceptable concept.

Agreed. I don't see a path to justify forced labor as something that benefits all, but damn there are trying.

Florida is really doing a lot of trying lately. Trying to undo a century or more worth of human progress.

Place some TNT along the border and just let the ocean take care of the rest of them.
