Professor David McGrath, writing in the Fort Myers News-Press: “What is divisive and harmful is when DeSantis and others censor or deny the truth about America’s past. For it’s only through ongoing conversations about history and racism in books, films, and in our classrooms that we can hope to make things better, or, at the very least, prevent destructive reoccurrence.” Read McGrath’s full commentary here.
PERSPECTIVES: “DeSantis Maintains that Teaching the Truth about Racism Fosters “Hate” in Schools. Nothing Could be Further from the Truth.”
