Earlier this year, Florida sparked national controversy when it revised its public educational standards to include content that whitewashed the history of slavery. These changes to the state’s public school curriculum were one of many seemingly anti-Black policy changes in the Sunshine State over the past several years. Now, one Democratic state senator is trying to ban Florida from painting a positive image of slavery.

It’s a concerted effort to pack these boards with Christian nationalist lunatics. And they’ve been quite successful so far, there hasn’t been much push back until recently, but by now they already have a lot of control.
