You are going beyond your limited executive power yet again, and the so called constitutional conservatives are silent.

So now you’re threatening to defund California public schools if they teach the history of American slavery?

prevnextWhat is so awful about admitting that there are some horrible stains in our history?
That all Americans have not been treated equally (to say the least)?
And teaching about same to our children so that we are better going forward?

prevnextFirst black police officers hired by the Atlanta PD in 1948, due to segregation laws, could not carry guns or arrest White people. They also could not drive squad cars or step foot in police headquarters. They operated from a basement of the local "colored" YMCA.

You can’t withhold funding because you don’t like their curriculum.
Donkey.

prevnextWhite ancestors divided us when they enslaved us. When we were freed they segregated and lynched us. When segregation ended they denied us opportunities.
And now you tell us to be quiet and get over it because you don’t want to think about it anymore since it makes you feel bad. pic.twitter.com/ISrJDx2ZU6

You don’t get to tell us what history we’re allowed to teach. We want our students to be able to take their own SATs. You can’t even run the country, so please stay out of my classroom ✌🏼

prevnextB ... b ... b...but I thought you wanted to keep all those confederate monuments around so we could learn about history. The 1619 project - an actual history lesson - is too much??

You’re threatening to defund public schools if they TEACH ABOUT SLAVERY??

prevnextThat’s your answer for everything? If a state does something you don’t like, threatening to defund them, like it’s your money.
Perhaps Californians should stop paying federal taxes, that’ll take a chunk out of the budget won’t it? https://t.co/lmRyhzMbHC

The amount of money California gets from the federal government for education is smaller than what they pay to support red states. Maybe they should withhold their “funding” too.

prevHave you read about Project 1619 (or the 1619 Project, which are different presentations on the same narrative)? Do you know what it is? You understand the curriculum they're talking about is designed to supplement existing content, not replace it...
