Florida is a never. They’re truly trying to completely dismantle public education. In a lot of parts (suburbs & such) people will ask anybody new they notice what church you go to. If your answer is anything other than a church you actually go to, word will spread pretty quickly & they’ll genuinely harshly look down upon you. This is overwhelmingly upper middle aged to elderly, but some of their kids follow suit. It’s a fuckin swamp. Humans were not very made to live in swamps. Without trying to sound more xenophobic than this already does - the Cubans need a generation or two more away from Castro… some of them are quite openly insane about perceived issues that don’t actually exist in our country. Pipeline to prison is very real & social safety nets are non existent. It very much pushes people to either kill themselves or become very… unfortunate people to find yourself having to deal with. That said, most humans don’t go the route of killing themselves (a good thing) so you have a lot more of the latter. Police like to think they’re Wild West cowboys & they get the authority to execute you with no repercussions faster than barbers get licenses to cut hair. Training with their weapons less time than a boy scout took to get a (weapons related) badge. Sorry for the rant. Florida is one of the rudest awakenings for many who move there with happier ideals in mind. Much worse than a lot of Texas.

This is the best unintentional advertisement for Florida. Your state sounds awesome. If I move back to the US, I'm going to become a Florida Man (TM). How are they trying to dismantle public education, by the way?

  You think random strangers coming up to you to question you about your religion is awesome? Not entirely sure what to say to that. Maybe you’d have a nice life living in a theocracy… As for your question, google (or search engine of your choice) is your friend.

  They're banning math textbooks for having CRT or some BS among other things.

    Why is that a bad thing? Math books should teach math not CRT.
    - s5300 5y ago
      It’s a joke. There’s not actually CRT in the math books. None of their voter base is actually going to open up a math book and realize that though. This is actually a pretty simple one… most textbooks are made in Texas, somewhat controlled by republicans. They’re just banning anything they’re not getting a cut of the profits from & bringing in/giving their friends new textbook contracts.

        >It’s a joke. There’s not actually CRT in the math books. None of their voter base is actually going to open up a math book and realize that though. I'm assuming you are arguing in good faith and have read every page of every math book that is banned to confirm yourself. You surely couldn't be accusing others of not confirming themselves while you do the same thing. And since you have read everyone of those books you could provide links to the books so we could also confirm ourselves. >This is actually a pretty simple one… most textbooks are made in Texas, somewhat controlled by republicans. Just because textbooks are made in Texas doesn't mean Republicans control their content. Do you believe every book written in Texas aligns with the views held by Republicans? >They’re just banning anything they’re not getting a cut of the profits from & bringing in/giving their friends new textbook contracts. Do you have any proof of this?

        Make a nice cup of tea & hop on the search engine of your choice for all the proof you’d like. I promise it won’t take much of your time, but I’m not going to be your personal source compiler.

>Humans were not made to live in swamps Why do so many people rave about Singapore and Thailand then? Full disclosure, I despise Singapore and love Florida.

Good, this is how community is formed and seems much better than people defecating on the street.

  Believe it or not, a large amount of older men in India have been quite reluctant to start using toilets because going out and defecating on the streets was one of the ways community was formed & men felt they could spend time talking to each other & about their problems. All is not as it may appear.

  Oh yeah… They’re also trying to genocide trans people. https://mobile.twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1516773653391806464 https://mobile.twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/151677365339...
