I think Sack and I probably know the same guy. The guy I know pulled his kid out of River Oaks Baptist and sent them a long letter trying to shame them. He then passed this letter around to friends, which was of course distributed to a lot more people. He obviously thought that the letter made him look good, but it was mainly shared so that people could laugh at him behind his back. Guy is a UT grad born and raised River Oaks/West U, and has the writing skills of a 9th grade Larry Sellers.

Is this why he made the Frank Drebin sock?

That sounds like the story he told, but be very careful posting the name of that church in association with the poster in question. Blacklab gave me a week off for doing so, even though he'd mentioned it before in the past, with the accusation that I was trying to dox him. Others have said he's claimed to be a deacon in the past.

Veterans quit DeSantis’ Florida State Guard over militialike training

https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/07/14/florida-state-guard-desantis-national-guard-training/

 

Quote

Weeks into that inaugural June training, one volunteer, a disabled retired Marine Corps captain, called the local sheriff’s office to report he was battered by Florida National Guard instructors when they forcibly shoved him into a van after he questioned the program and its leadership.

DeSantis’ office referred questions to Maj. Gen. John D. Haas, Florida’s adjutant general overseeing the Florida National Guard.

In a statement, Haas said the State Guard was a “military organization” that will be used not just for emergencies but for “aiding law enforcement with riots and illegal immigration.”

“The Florida Experiment”

“Governor Ron DeSantis is running for president on the argument that he'll do for America what he's done for Florida. So what's it like in Florida?”

That’s this week’s episode of This American Life on NPR.

I’m listening to it right now. Check your local listings or wherever you find your podcasts, presumably. It will be available here on Sunday at 7 PM CT:

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/805/the-florida-experiment

Prologue
Florida is now the fastest growing state, and DeSantis says people are moving there from all over because of him. We speak to people who did make the move, at least in part, for DeSantis’s policies. (6  minutes)

By Ira Glass; Produced by Alaa Mostafa


Act One
Prescription for Freedom

Among the big items in DeSantis's run for president is medical freedom. Producer Zoe Chace wanted to understand its appeal and its growing popularity. So she spent some time in Sarasota County, where one man — at the side of former Trump appointee Mike Flynn — is creating a sort of little parallel universe for this very thing. (33 minutes)

By Zoe Chace


Act Two
Their Eyes Were Watching Tallahassee

DeSantis has passed law after law about what can and can’t be taught in Florida classrooms, starting as early as elementary school. And last spring, Florida Republicans introduced a bill initially proposing to ban things like critical race theory and identity politics, or students majoring in things like gender studies in Florida universities. Reporter Emmanuel Dzotsi followed how things unfolded at one of the biggest universities there, Florida State, from the bill’s introduction all the way to its passage. He explains how professors and students have been preparing. (25 minutes)

By Emmanuel Dzotsi


Act Three
Goodbye Sunshine (podcast only)

Among the legislation introduced by DeSantis that has passed is a ban on minors receiving transition care. The bill passed into law a few months ago. We speak with a teen whose family has since had to flee the state in order to access the care they needed. (2 minutes)

Wtaf?

retired Marine Corps captain

“Then you need to leave and go home!” the sergeants yelled at him, he claimed.

He finally agreed, and a white van pulled up. Not feeling safe, he refused to get in, and he said he would walk to his car some distance away, according to the report.

As a retired officer, he was allowed to use the base. But the sergeants “grabbed him and pushed him into the van.”

“He protested that they were assaulting an officer as he tried to exit the van and was told he is not an officer, only a recruit,” the report states.

C'mon these are some hot takes we're getting here.

1. DeSantis* should be POTUS because of the work he's done for EDUCATION.... in FLORIDA.

2. Laws that ban teaching and learning some subjects* are good.

3. Emmy nominated television shows are bad*** because they have aren't the same as the video game they're based on.****

*Remember him?

**Keep in mind Poe has failed to explain what that subject actually teaches.

***How could a person know the show is bad if they didn't actually watch it?

****I doubt Poe played the game if this is his opinion of the show, I think he just saw that on some social media reel.

Nobody gives a fuck if you are laughing. You are a stupid ignorant fuck and I don’t say that lightly. Or about many people. You come in here and make glib comments about something that has had life and death effects on your fellow man and won’t even bother to educate yourself on it.

 

And you are gleeful that demagogues are using graduate level theory to outlaw teaching our schoolchildren that black people suffered terrible physical violence and political and economic oppression at the hands of whites solely based on skin color.
 

I don’t doubt that you don’t hate black people. I don’t think anyone here is saying that.

Oh fuck off for thinking that you and other Meatball Ron supporters have the intellectual insight to determine what is the appropriate amount of teaching AND learning about any particular subject, let alone a practice that enriched one race while denying fundamental human rights to another.

This stupid fuck thinks simply acknowledging the historical discrepancies, some of which extend to the present day, somehow makes him culpable on a personal level. And probably is worried that if little white kids learn about it they will feel bad about themselves because of their skin color.

I don't think he's a troll. He sounds like every other backwoods east Texas hillbilly I grew up with in Vidor that gets on facebook now and has made politics their whole identity since Trump made being an asshole/bully cool again. I'm sure in his brain we're the outliers because he hangs with other like-minded people in his inner circle and never travels outside his bubble of chucklefucks. 

This current iterataion of the GOP will merely be a chapter in the history books about the time a real estate conman from New York duped a bunch of low IQ right-wingers into getting involved in politics even though it is way above their paygrade.

I won't. Instead, I'll tell you what it is, because it amuses me for you to beclown yourself further. 

The gist of Critical Race Theory is that racism is a system, not just a person's individual bias or prejudice. Over the course of our history racism has become embedded into various aspects of our legal, financial and social institutions in ways that impact us today, and for that reason there are laws and policies and systems that are not about race but can worsen racial disparities. That's the whole thing, in a nutshell. 

Like any critical lens there are ways in which that framework is penetrating, along with some blind spots. But what it is not is particularly controversial, outside of the grift-industrial complex. It's also not even unique to the left or left-leaning scholarship.
Here's a typical example of applied Critical Race Theory from the right: 

This is from a report from the Institute for Family Studies  in part about the role welfare has played in the breakdown in the family structure among the poor and working class, which disproportionately impacts black people. 


"Identifying welfare as a contributor—along with shifts in the labor market and de-industrialization—explains why fatherlessness has spread as it has.5 For example, racial differences in marriage rates may be largely due to racial income disparities, which lead to stiffer marriage penalties for black adults.6 And today, many means-tested programs7 reach into the working class and lower-middle-class, which corresponds with a decline in marriage among these groups.8 

 

Now that someone has given you what you wanted, tell us what you disagree with, or go get your fucking shinebox. 

You're gonna have to give Professor Google some time to come back with a response that neither addresses the questions posed nor makes him look as of he has the vaguest understanding of CRT beyond that it makes him & his buddies get their feels hurt.

See this is the issue with identity politics. You hear something like CRT, which is nothing more than a particular lens through which history and public policy can be evaluated. Some inevitable conclusions from such an analysis are that American cultural, financial, and legal systems include or are even largely based upon components that disadvantage people of color generally and black people in particular. As someone presenting here as a white male conservative of at least moderate affluence, you have inherently benefited from such systems. So when you hear a criticism of American society you interpret as a personal attack. "If the system that benefits me is racist then you're saying I'm racist." Which is not really logical. A passenger train hits a guy crossing the tracks. The railway might be responsible for his death but the passengers are not. But if a passenger interprets this event as "he was probably drunk or suicidal. Society is better off without him, no way we need to slow down the train at that intersection or introduce other safeguards that will slow my commute." Well, that passenger is a piece of human shit utterly devoid of empathy. So no one wants you to say you hate black people. But your insistence that a discussion about the inherent disadvantages faced by black people in this country in an academic setting subject to rigorous, thoughtful analysis is somehow a threat to the youth of America is not only insane but utterly devoid of empathy, exposing you as a piece of human shit.
