Today, we are taking a stand against critical race theory in our schools and in the workplace by calling for the enactment of the Stop W.O.K.E. Act. https://t.co/7iuEjyYKsj— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) December 15, 2021
Not sure what I should've expected, but "Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees" is pretty lazy.
It's not like this is too far off from what's actually taught in US schools, which is "Lincoln freed the slaves and so since 1865 racism hasn't been a problem".
And note how white folks exclusively clip the "judged by the content of their character" part and ignore everything else MLK said. Because you can take that one quote, remove all context, and then use it to imply things like Affirmative Action are racist because it treats people differently.

Yeah there was a brief flare up of racism in the 60's but MLK made a speech and everyone said sorry.
