Ron DeSantis confronts CRT. The AP finds white rage miraculously where there is none.
This country continues to be under the Critical Race Theory siege. Those arguing on the opposing side of the argument have not become more clear over the years. Glenn Younkin made the initial steps in Virginia to ban CRT from schools. His opponents, however, resorted back to not understanding their arguments. Some screamed. “It’s not even being taught in schools!” Others went further, trying to claim that CRT does not even exist.
Basic responses can quickly negate these retorts. Banning the practice should be avoided if possible. But if the problem is already solved, then any protest over it would make no sense. It is easy to see how emotional they would be if unicorn husbandry was banned from schools. This is what their argument looks like.
The Associated Press reported on a Florida bill with similar logic. The news network declared racism by inserting words not intended to be written. The Associated Press reports on a new Florida bill. Individual FreedomBill, this legislation would restrict the teaching in schools and the diversity training businesses provide to individuals who are not of a certain race. It is only for one race, according to the AP.
It all starts with the headline Florida could shield whites from ‘discomfort’ of racist past. This is what the syndicate says it looks likeRepublican Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis that would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making white people feel “discomfort” when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation’s past.
The AP has somehow claimed that “whites” are being protected from “discomfort”, despite the reality that those quotes do not exist in the proposed legislation. It is necessary to repeat this: These aren’t the words to use.AnywhereThe bill. What you will get instead is a neutral address, which includes all races and protects individuals from being punished solely for their race or sexual orientation. This is how it works:
“An individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex. An individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race.”
The headline of the AP’s article and its assessment that it was only written for whites is a result of this. State Senator Shevrin Jones, a single Democrat who was against the bill. It is revealing that Jones provides the same types of fractured arguments in opposing this bill, and even manages to disprove himself in his argument – all while the AP crafts its article around his impression.
“This bill’s not for Blacks, this bill was not for any other race. This bill is meant to encourage whites to not be ashamed of what they did years ago,” said Jones. This does not mean that blacks are excluded, since no race has ever been mentioned. He never explains. Jones makes another contradictory assertion that undermines all of his opposition.
“At no point did anyone say white people should be held responsible for what happened, but what I would ask my white counterparts is, are you an enabler of what happened or are you going to say we must talk about history?”
It is amazing. In a sentence, he declares that the white race is not responsible for past acts. However, if this law is supported, it makes you an enabler of what has happened in past. It is precisely this issue that the bill addresses! The state senator denies that this bill is necessary, then goes on to demonstrate the exact behavior which would require it to be made a law.
This bill, which the outlet says is only for whites, was sponsored on the floor of statehouse by Manny Diaz (a Hispanic state senator). I am just going to assume the AP will declare Diaz to be a ‘white Hispanic’, to stay in line with its wholly created narrative.
Brendan Farrington, a Florida-based writer for the Associated Press, would have been better if he was not there. The same biased journalist who sparked the debate last autumn about DeSantis using Regeneron treatment to benefit a donor. Accuracy in reporting is not in Farrington’s skill set.
