So Sen @johnforutah asked if I read the new Florida Social Studies Standards. I did, and I have a lot of questions. I'll only highlight a few that are of interest, either due to current news or my own observations as a History teacher. #uted #utpol 1/many
Are these #UTleg this comfortable with racism. Standing there as @GovRonDeSantis represents slavery as a trade school.
Happening now: Florida Gov/presidential Candidate @RonDeSantis addresses the recent controversy about the FL Board of Education standard that teaches "slaves developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit."

For sec it seems as the @GovRonDeSantis realizes just how how horrid the new FL standards are. He distances himself even pressed after his example (almost W4W from the Fl standards).
Nope. Instead, he leans into racism again.

Long winded way to say that money is all that matters!
The most messed up part of the FL standards is that they essentially place slave owners in America in the role of white saviors.
Attributing landowners for providing education and health care to the slaves.

Several utah lawmakes including @Political_Jake @johnforutah @gopTODD stood the while DeSantis defended ed policy on slavery being beneficial for slaves.
FL Stndrd depicts American slavery as the best of all and even beneficial.
Disgusting am Disappointing

Hopefully our valuable Sen. Johnson learns to source his material better. @TheBabylonBee is a satirical newspaper. So nothing in it us true!

On another note the Utah Legislature has been GOP ran for over a century!

I love public education because sometimes students are the best of us!
Celebrate Public Educators and Students! Tell us why you love public education.
Join @ElevateEdUT for #UTLovesPublicEd week.
Are we celebrating using public funds to bus students to the state capitol for a political rally? This is clearly a violation of state law by using education $$ and resources for political purposes.
It was a great day to meet with so many students and families up at the Hill who support HB 215!
#SchoolChoiceWeek
How about the house republicans increase IDEA funding to level promised in the bill. Currently sped funding is far below the promised 40% amount. Even going to 20% would be a large improvement.
Every child deserves a shot at the American Dream - regardless of zip code. During #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek, we celebrate the life-changing gift of education freedom and continue our work to expand high-quality opportunities that help every student reach their full potential.
