(8,365 posts)thought about moving there after I retired. But I wonder if I could tolerate living around the people because of the racism and religiosity. I don't think I would any better off than living here in Texas with maybe the exception of the weather.

Florida will not recognize a newly created Advanced Placement African American studies course, with officials arguing that the lessons are illegal under state law and that the class significantly lacks educational value.
The decision is the latest volley in Gov. Ron DeSantiss long-running war on what he considers to be overly woke curriculum. The Republican governor is widely seen as positioning himself for a possible presidential run in 2024 and has made culture-war issues central to his political identity.
Floridas legislature has enacted laws limiting how teachers can talk about subjects including race. A measure signed last spring, for instance, seeks to ensure that students are not made to feel guilty for racist acts carried out by others. A person should not be instructed that he or she must feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress for actions, in which he or she played no part, the law states.
