A Travel Advisory to Ignore

Just a few days ago the NAACP issued, no blarney,

a "travel advisory" for the state of Florida to caution

any nonwhite travelers to "be aware of the open 

hostility towards African Americans and People of Color."

The NAACP explained the advisory was a response to 

the policies of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), which includes

(according to the NAACP) "aggressive attempts to erase 

black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion 

programs (notice that all four of these words are "buzz words"

for left-wingers, particularly the ones which have enthusiastic-

ally embraced "wokeness", that is to say, political correctness 

on steroids) in Florida schools." The lefties spearheading this 

tripe, as usual for their ilk, do not have the foggiest idea what

they are on about.

Florida's public schools are required by law to to teach students

about slavery, abolition, the civil rights movement, and the 

history of Americans of the African diaspora and their accomplish-

ments. For Gov. DeSantis' part, he signed a bill into law adding to

the curriculum the 1920 Ocoee massacre in which many black

Floridians were killed by a white mob. So what's the NCAAP's 

problem?

Gov. DeSantis chose Dr. Joseph Ladapo, a Nigerian immigrant,

as Florida's Surgeon General. His Lieutenant Governor is 

Jeanette Nunez, the first Hispanic woman to hold that position. 

On national aptitude tests in 2022, Floridian black eighth-graders 

scored 255 in mathematics and 247 in reading, on average.

The national figures are, respectively, 252 and 243, just behind

Florida. The NAACP makes its home in Maryland, where 

respective scores are 250 and 244. What say you, NAACP?

It will be most interesting to see if any left-wingers calls out 

the claims of the NAACP for being sheer hogwash, as well as 

the NCAAP's so-called travel advisory for being ignorant drivel.

Your bemused Peasant isn't holding his breath.
