Im just pointing out how that phrase I had drilled into me in my teens (and Im not even in America) is clearly nonsense. Every time one of these only in America problems comes up like gun violence, unaffordable healthcare, Florida and Texas existing, etc. comes up is just more proof.

And before anyone wants to be a smart ass, by only in America I clearly mean among developed countries. Obviously despite all its problems that nothing can be done about, its still a better place to live than much of Africa.

Oh its not shame, they just cant think of a way to spin it as a positive without getting insta-banned. Wouldnt be the first time something truly disgusting like this has come up and none of the usual suspects would touch it.

I'm glad that schools keep doing this. Educators are putting in work to "follow" the ridiculous law in the most tongue-in-cheek way possible to keep attention on the law and just how horrifically broad it is. They can still get the students the information they need, and frame it with a "this is what Republicans to keep you from learning."

As a bonus, it could help teachers identify students that may need protection. Any parents that would actually deny such permissions is dangerous.

This is why I don't want to see space travel get solved until after humanity finds a way to be civilized on earth.

If it happens the other way around, it's just setting a plague of locusts loose on the galaxy to benefit a few rich assholes.

Hypothetically, if you're a racist and you're worried about black people reading to kids, wouldn't it be easier to just block it from being a thing from behind closed doors in secret meetings? That would at least make sense as some sort of evil plan. Instead, we got this. It's fucking insulting. Cobra Commander is rolling in his grave right now.

Thats the goal of the Florida law. That many schools will opt to not having black speakers because theres too many added hoops to make it happen.

Lol as a current teacher in florida we have to use these sheets for literally ANYTHING extra we do in school. Even if I just need to tutor a kid for 30 minutes in the library one time after school I am required to fill this out and have it signed by their parents. Same with any other field trip or activity we do (on valentines day some classes went outside during the day for activities, they needed this pass too).

Not trying to defend this but idk... it just seems like a hastily written field trip form that the teacher feels like they shouldn't have to do but, but they do it anyways.

My memory may be off but isn't Florida one of the states giving funding to Prager for Prager U Kids material to teach in school?

If so: they're already working on that.

Im a teacher in Indiana and that seems weird to me. Permission slip to leave the property but not a classroom event in the library. To bring in a speaker I need my assistant principal to sign off on it and the speaker has to pass a criminal background check but I dont have to give my students an opt out option.
