One white supremacist can negate black humanity without having to do much more than scribble misinformation on a piece of paper.
See below.
The white supremacist said the poem was not 'educational'. The white supremacist said they did not need professional reviews for reference. The white supremacist claimed the poem's function was to 'cause confusion' and 'indoctrinate students'.
At this point, Florida Republicans and fragile white Republican voters are just flat out targeting any books written by Black authors who refuse to sing “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” and whitewash away the past.
This is racist erasure.

florida is wildin okay so do you guys know the poem the hill we climb by amanda gorman? if you dont you should read it or listen to it. context: she read it at bidens swearing in in 2021 and it was like this huge thing. i really like the poem and it was very inspirational to many americans. ANYWAY. florida fucking banned it. this is the complaint form
the "indirect hate messages" in question:
