A Florida school district canceled a professor’s civil rights history seminar for teachers, citing in part concerns over “critical race theory” — even though his lecture had nothing to do with the topic.

held webinars that warned that teaching what they called critical race theory in schools is un-AmericanAt the local level, school board members like Terry Castillo in Osceola County said she has gotten unprecedented attention from parents over the debate.

But as the discussion intensified in Tallahassee, Castillo said, Pace also became concerned about the particulars of Butler’s lecture about the history of civil rights. Butler said he hadn’t shared his full presentation with the school district. In the presentation, which he provided to NBC News, Butler doesn’t mention the theory, nor structural racism or anti-racism.from the email, which was forwarded to him by one of the teachers who had been signed up to attend. The teacher locked his or her Twitter account out of fear of being exposed for speaking out.

“The district clarified that the event could be held later subject to editing of materials. NCHE will not continue with this event, but does look forward to continuing our long-standing commitment to Osceola County teachers,” Leatherman said. Butler said he believes that the legislation being debated in Tallahassee is too vague and that it “makes it so that any topic that falls under the rubric can be labeled as potentially critical race theory.“

CRT is necessary to end segregation in the minds of people still living systemic. It’s so systemic parents cannot raise their children purposefully misinformed denying the child’s right to a factual true education free from personal or group opinions at home.

Yet the have authorized a Gestapo. Man!! Wake UP People!!

In Florida they spell it f-r-e-e-d-u-m-b

Ah Florida, the hangnail of the US of A!

If by now you haven't noticed, most Floridians don't actually know what critical race theory is. Basically you bring up anything white people did and it's CRT.

At this point white people might as well erase the years 1706-2010 in the history books and put on reruns of Uncle Tom.

Florida wants to keep its state ignorant.

Oh? So all this GOP bullshit about cancel culture was projection. As predicted.

They sue they win period. If desantis says freedom of speech can be used to lie about elections and say lizard ppl control the government, it 100,000,000% can be used to speak about the rights of all ppl regardless of how loght or dark their skin color is.

A government agency canceling a civil rights seminar. That might be something that belongs in a CRT lecture.

Most black people I know are against this CRT non sense as well, children don't need to be taught to hate others or themselves.

It's Florida. They actively fight against people learning anything.

White people everywhere are showing their true colors. In too many cases they’re the colors of hateful censorship, attempts at silencing, sidelining and abusing anyone who’s either not white or who doesn’t think as bigotedly as do they.
