@rchusid @usernameswift After moving a test in my class to online rather than in person due to a #COVID outbreak, I posted how one of their freedoms in the "free state of Florida" (quotes for #irony ) is that they absolutely can wear masks when not feeling well or wanting to keep feeling well. Of course, I framed it that way because we faculty in the #FreeStateOfFlorida are not allowed to mandate masks in our classrooms.

One hundred sixty-six years ago today, March 6, 1857
Dred Scott v. Sandford
(1857)
On March 6, 1857, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney read the majority opinion of the Court, which stated that enslaved people were not citizens of the United States and, therefore, could not expect any protection from the federal government or the courts. The opinion also stated that Congress had no authority to ban slavery from a federal territory. It moved the nation a step closer to the Civil War.

I appreciate those who share photos via #CatsOfMastodon. The joy people take in their cats is contagious.
@christyxcore The only exception I make is daffodils, which are unapologetically beautiful despite being yellow.
@mmeadway I just bought a pair of Shokz bone conducting headphones. Excellent sound.
@LindaCollins11 @thepoliticalcat A cursed apple. Hrmm…so maybe the Bible was written by the same person as Snow White? So many fairy tales have common themes.

@cautionarytale@mastodon.world You may have my lifetime share of bell peppers.
@moliver @cautionarytale@mastodon.world Regardless of color, right?! And the smell of raw bells is just sickening. They are the only thing I will NOT eat.

Take Michael Knowles' speech and replace "Transgenderism" with "Judaism" and maybe you'll see why this is a problem.

If Florida schools choose not to teach important subjects in their curriculum, could the Department of Education and individual state Boards of Education declare diplomas issued at those schools invalid in other states?

@yoused Holy crap! That’s the most Alabama thing I’ve ever heard.

@jeffmoore @edutooters @edutooter Interesting thread, lots of reading to check on. My naive assumption was that Conservative objection was primarily to taxes that go to public schools. The donor class doesn't send their children to public schools so they see those taxes, in particular, as theft.
All the other talking points like imaginary CRT, specific books in libraries, parental oversight, are just to rile up the idiot base against their own best interests.
@Ronnie @habibcham@mastodon.social Hah!

Harvard Professor Cornell W. Brooks brilliantly dissects the GOP attacks on 'CRT' and reveals the danger of Ron DeSantis's demagoguery and its threats to the nation. A new episode of the Weekend Show airs live at 8p ET/5p PT! https://youtu.be/5VocwmyZp04
@habibcham@mastodon.social @Ronnie Would you guys stop filling my iPad with amazing apps!
