To control the narrative to force themselves into power even though they are running out of numbers

It very much is. They are losing their grip of being the top ethnicity in the populous so they are doing what white ppl do to hold onto power to force others into a box to be oppressed & this is a measure of oppressing education to make them look as bad as they are

Teaching history is fine. Blaming current white people for the misdeeds of past people should not be tolerated. Same as teaching all black are bad by quoting crime statistics from inner cities.

If historic racism doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable, then you have neither a heart nor a soul.

I grew up in FL...and I find this disgusting...thank God my teachers were allowed to teach reality and facts...and my parents encouraged thinking...😎🍍🦩

Florida is quickly becoming a white nationalist state.

Lord, some white folks☝🤲

In the words of Dreamgirls’ Effie White - “What about how I feel?What about me?”🙄😳😔

And what is CRT and cancel culture but an attempt to discredit, dishonor western civilization as Columbus being a perfect example now where he is made a villain by false lies to appease while we wouldn't have this nation as a beacon of light if not for him.

FloridaFear Two Americas, minority stupid and majority savvy. Though stupidity of minority rules, challenging intellect of majority. If this continues, America will be as stupid as it gets Teach truth, wisdom, lend kids inspiration

Um..........Ya think?

Republicans and their freedoms don't include the freedom to vote for POC or the freedom for a woman to have an abortion. They ban books & teaching the history of American slavery but don't ban AR-15s that can murder dozens of people. Then they call themselves Christians. NOT.

Who’s for this? Can someone on Twitter explain how they think this is a good idea?

I felt uncomfortable when the teacher discussed the square root of -1.

Snowbirds and Snowflakes

Who are the snowflakes now?

You can't psychologically abuse white people anymore. ❤️

Banana Republic of America

Unfortunately we are probably the stupidest state ever. Have lived here 45 years and very embarrassed by Desantis. He's worse than Rick Scott ever was.

It just keeps getting more and more disgusting!

I hate this bs of protecting white people of the horror of their ancestors’ behavior. White people who are “uncomfortable” with these images should acknowledge the HISTORY of it & work to make sure it never happens again. Bothered by other reasons? Look inside yourself.

Wtf is happening to this country

Stand your ground, but for fee fees.

That’s not the intent. Quit misleading.

Florida fascism

And that is the way it should be I am not responsible for what my ancestors did we can learn from the past without pointing fingers at one another learn from your past and move on. TimeToGrowUp

FLORIDA, irrespective of RACE or COLOUR it is UNACCEPTABLE for ANYONE IN ANY SCHOOL or PRIVATE BUSINESS, to make 'PEOPLE' feel uncomfortable when teaching historic racism. These are the sorts of fools who create a devide to grow wider. VOTE these fools out

Does that include Latinos and Jews ? People of color that think there white ? Interesting?

A law that can protect our feelings? Sounds like you really had to read a lot into the bill. Are there any legal challenges to such a blatantly racist piece of legislation?

What is next? No mention of rape anymore because it might make men feel uncomfortable?

How about white ppl feeling good bc they changed laws so ALL ppl feel good.

Interpreting how white folks feel is too subjective! Have the same law makers made a law protecting black folks. Maybe delete white in the law so anyone can be offended

Now, is this not a pisser. Making white people feel uncomfortable because of their history of slavery and racism. It is a part of the DNA of this United States of America. GET OVER IT YOU CANNOT ERASE US!!!!

They realize the only white people feeling uncomfortable are racist, right?

Simply unbelievable

Don't care I'll never live there

Need to remove whoever decided this was a good idea! Who sponsored, supports this needs to be removed from their post. We don’t have time for this nonsense!

wtf, this sick shit.

MSNBC, pls send the link to this bill.

Where are all the blk ppl in Florida? Why haven't they gotten rid of this governor yet? And how did they sit back and allow this bill to pass? Is Florida ran by all white ppl? Lord have mercy 🥺

Huge insecurity complex

How about a bill that prevents police contact from making black people uncomfortable?

I thought censorship was bad. Why are conservatives suddenly in favor of safe spaces and censorship?

Outrageous.

🤣

FLORIDA, w/the risk of sounding too woke, I’m a white guy but find this “fear of making white kids feel uncomfortable hearing truths of our racist past” DISGUSTING. We did what we did. We try not to do it anymore. Learning from our mistakes could HELP that from happening again.

You could pay me to pass through Florida, lived there was not impressed, lake butler was a bad mother fucker

They don’t want it taught, because they want to repeat it and not be stopped.

This is a joke, right?

How funny. Hispanics have never felt bad studying Spanish imperialism. They never needed any special fragility laws. Maybe they feel bad that they're STILL DOING IT. In which case, tough shit.

Well let’s pass an “Uncomfortable bill” for black people as well now. I’m sooo tired of everything being so one sided!!! Everything they do to us then it shouldn’t be a problem with doing it back right?

You learn the history of slavery or the hunt of natives?

What? The FL GOP is nothing but a racist-based hate group whose own house needs to be cleaned out from top to bottom. I sure hope the Democrats flip the governor’s office and state legislature this time around.

I can say with some surety: students of any color just want the truth. They will not honor you for trying to keep it from them. P. S. Do you have any plans to start a Republican Youth, modeled on The Hitler Youth?

A good way to tell if something is true or not is to ask yourself, 'does this make me feel uncomfortable?' 😄

Getting more desperate to divide the country, this is typical rederick by MSNBC.

More Idiocy. How about Truth!!!

If their children & ancestors were able to live through it, you can surely sit there & learn about why things still are not even close to equal between White & Black people. It didn't end w/slavery or w/Dr. King's Civil & Voting Rights Acts like you've been told. Still going.

What about black people feeling uncomfortable!

msnbc is like the radio station in Rawanda “cut down the tall trees”. Shameful

Will students in FL be able to pass an advanced placement history test if they take history designed to emotionally support them? Will colleges and universities outside of FL honor history credits from kids who went to high school in FL or will their applications get rejected?

White make people of color feel all the time. What tha hell? They perpetuate divisive culture. It’s insane logic.

FL Buccaneers lose. God doesn't want that states trash leaving its borders.

Screw their feelings.

Well, how would you like it if schools taught things that made black people feel bad about themselves? Would the NAACP take issue? CRT advocates are trying for black supremacy not equality.

Hell hath no fury like a white person mildly inconvenienced

Yea Johnathan you look like a real non fragile white guy. All tough and sheet

What a STUPID bill to pass!!! However, I hope people take full advantage by taking it literally. Underlings can go to their bosses & cry foul everyday. They should gum up the courts with frivolous lawsuits, claiming they're 'uncomfortable' due to something their bosses said.

The comments are correct but why white people need to feel uncomfortable for something the people from 100 years did?

Good Grief, talk about snowflakes

can the bill provide us with a table of colors between black and white to see where do i fit since my ancestors are part indian, part european, part african? i am confused now about my color identity

Very, very false!! CRT is being taught in schools across the country. You don’t know it because it has been deliberately renamed and repackaged. CRT teaches kids that if they are white they are the problem, if they are not white they will never succeed because of whites.

This is criminalising black history. Just think about what Republicans are doing and claiming they want Freedom.

Who are the SNOWFLAKES ?

Just when I think it can’t get any worse….

According to research from the Univ. of Missouri, 257 Black people were made uncomfortable in Florida between 1882 and 1968 by being lynched.

Racist baiting again?

I’m a teacher, and can’t figure out how to measure or determine uncomfortableness. I’m uncomfortable right now.🤦🏼‍♀️

Remember America MSNBC is a left leaning news agency that definitely favors the Democrat view of the world question everything especially this headline

And why feeling uncomfortable bad? It might make learn something you need to learn.

This is why joebiden POTUS is doing badly in leadership & Polls His Party,advisers & Lib Media create narratives NOT anchored to reality & Joe makes decisions based on the BS If u accept (without thinking for urself) that Florida passed a Bill to protect Whites then ur a LIB!

draiochta14 How do you enforce that law?

Boycott Florida

Our society has gone mad.. grow tf up.. learn all history, learn from mistakes, do your part and work together.. if you don't want to then get out of America.

and the theme song for the bill is Desperado....why don't you come to your senses? You've been out riding fences for so long now.
