The Florida Supreme Court did allow a proposed amendment to protect abortion to go on the Florida ballot.

So basically, the laws prevent teaching public school students about America's racist past & present bc a white student can complain the lesson makes them "uncomfortable" due to race
If students do not learn about past #racism, they will never understand present systemic racism, and certainly not how to address it. But that is the point of these laws. To maintain the racist status quo.
