FLORIDA GOV. DUHSANTIS DEFENDS

FLORIDA'S VERSION OF SLAVERY: IT WAS FUN

Florida Governor Ron DuhSantis, the MAGA candidate for dictator or president, has done it again! In his latest move, he has announced that his Department of Miseducation will be teaching students that slavery actually benefited Black people. Yes, you heard that right. Slavery, the brutal and inhumane practice of owning human beings, was apparently a good thing for Black people. 

I mean, who needs facts and actual history when you have a wacky governor like DuhSantis? Painting a fairy tale version of America for students in public schools is not an act of patriotism, it's an act of child abuse. It's like telling kids that Santa Claus is real and then crushing their dreams when they find out he's not. Except in this case, it's even worse because it's perpetuating a harmful and false narrative that undermines the struggles and achievements of Black people throughout history. 

But don't worry, DuhSantis isn't alone in his delusional thinking. Vice President Kamala Harris had the audacity to criticize these controversial Black history standards, and DuhSantis called her criticism "absolutely ridiculous." Yes, because clearly the person who is actually Black and has experienced racism firsthand is less qualified to comment on Black history than a white governor who thinks slavery was a good thing. 

It's almost comical how out of touch DuhSantis is with reality. It's like he's living in an alternate universe where up is down and wrong is right. Maybe he should take a break from his MAGA rallies and actually read a history book or two. Or better yet, maybe he should just resign and let someone who actually cares about educating our children take over. 

But until that happens, we're stuck with a governor who thinks teaching kids that slavery was a good thing is a great idea. And who knows what other ridiculous ideas he'll come up with next? Maybe he'll suggest that the earth is flat or that vaccines cause autism. The possibilities are endless with DuhSantis at the helm. 

In conclusion, let's all take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of Ron DuhSantis and his Department of Miseducation. It's like a bad joke come to life, except it's not funny because it's actually affecting the education of our children. So let's all do our part to combat this nonsense by educating ourselves and speaking out against it whenever possible. And maybe, just maybe, we can prevent future generations from being miseducated by the likes of Ron DuhSantis.
