This is not a small thing.
In Germany, holocaust denial is a crime!

@lamasoo Not *from* Ohio, but I lived there for 7 years.
I used to live in Texas. I would get so mad at dudes I knew that downplayed the confederate flag, until I realized that their textbooks literally lied about the reasons for the civil war!
Showing them the articles of secession blew their mind. Some stopped rocking the flag. 👍🏿
Imagine how much less racist the US would feel if 10% of all confederate flags just disappeared. Disappeared!

@jbouie @LibertyForward1 This is why DeSantis has to be stopped.
One of my favorite things to do is modeling and recreating broken plastic wheelchair parts that cost a shitload of money but I can model and 3D print for super cheap. Rick is a teacher here at Lane Tech that works with wheelchair dependent students and he comes to me with the broken parts. Manufacturers charge way more than the families can afford.
Hey friends. Please read this open letter that I signed onto. It's a collective statement by college and university faculty from across the US who teach African American Studies in defense of the Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies course that was blocked/censored in Florida.

Ella Irwin also explicitly directed Twitter to ban journalists like me. The fact that she has used her access to people's private messages should be a wake-up call to everyone on Twitter, especially journalists; how can you protect sources in a place like that?

Many of the conservatives who are pushing hardest for book bans in public schools homeschool their kids or send them to private schools.
They still push for this because destruction of public schools as an engine of egalitarianism, democracy and social mobility serves their larger ideological goals of having an unequal society with "good people" like them at the top, served and exploited by exploited and ignorant poor underneath.
