So what’s new in DuhSantistan?

Although the source that I cited may have been in error I still find it very disturbing that the DCPS under state guidance is even considering banning those books.

 

why can't the dem party get their stuff together? watching the dems and the pubs is like watching dumb and dumber

 

You would be shocked over the years of what books have been banned or have been requested to be banned

Incredibly poor leadership coupled with the fact that the GOP in Florida is probably the most disciplined, well funded organization in the country.

 

No we wouldn't.

 

Your link is from September. They have already started making decisions on books, including rejecting books written about civil rights heroes Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Sylvia Mendez.

Stupid, counterproductive, and possibly unconstitutional . . . the DeSantis special.

 

So, mandatory life sentence for the 18-year old high school senior who has sex with his or her 16-year old girlfriend or boyfriend, as the case may be? Also, uniform bond rules that result in people with money to get out of jail on bond while poor people rot in jail for the same exact crime? Not surprising for Florida:

Ron DeSantis’s Long War on Black Political Power
What I am arguing . . . is that DeSantis’s political ambitions have entailed disempowering Black citizens in his state in a calculated fashion. Most of these events took place before he had catapulted himself to the center of the national debate, and they received far less attention than his more recent culture-war thrusts. But they are at least as significant, if not more so.

DeSantis’s answer to the referendum giving those ex-felons their voting rights back was deviously effective. He signed a measure requiring those former convicts wishing to vote to pay back any fines they owed the state. Obviously, as much as a person might take pride in voting, very few people are willing to pay large sums of money for the privilege, especially people coming out of a long prison term who are strapped for cash. (The state’s laxity in enforcing these payments from indigent ex-felons was what made the fine so effective: They generally didn’t have to pay anything unless they wanted to vote.)

Even more ingeniously, the state had no centralized system for recording fines, which meant that even those ex-felons willing to pay money to vote, and able to muster the funds to pay the poll tax, were generally unable to do so. The “fine” requirement simply tossed them into a bureaucratic maze in which there was no exit.

Last year, DeSantis strong-armed his party into enacting an aggressive new congressional map that dramatically reduced the representation of Black voters. Two districts that had elected Black Democrats to Congress were broken up and scattered. One district, populated by descendants of Black sharecroppers and slaves, was broken up into four pieces, each scattered into a mostly white, heavily Republican district in which the Black vote would have little influence.

 

Looks like it was mainly show, although I still think we have the Russian investments

 

Well, we still have some work to do…
