<v Speaker 1>Charlom Haine A god. I don't know why y'all keeping

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>letting him get you elected. Well, duvall Donkey today for Tuesday,

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>January twenty fourth goes to Governor Ron de Santis in

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the Florida Department of education. First of all, I would

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>like to say I don't like this headline I'm seeing

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>on CNN. The headline says, Laida gives its reasons for

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>rejecting proposed ap African American studies course. It's not the

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>state of Florida, okay, as government officials who represent the

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>state of Florida. But what did your uncle y'alla always

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you about Florida. The craziest people in America come

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>from the Bronton all of Florida. But this isn't the

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>craziest citizens of Florida, well, not all of them, Okay,

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>this is the crazy government officials in Florida. Now, if

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you haven't heard, Florida government rejected a proposed advanced placement

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>course focused on African American studies. Oh, basically, they don't

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>want blacks to know nothing about blacks. Okay. If they

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>are not teaching it, okay. If the hunter is not

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>allowed to tell, to tell, then the lions shall not learn.

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>All right. You know that old African proverb when tell

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>the hero. This is the part where they muscle the lion,

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>all right. Won't be no reading, writing and roaring on

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>they watch now. The one page document appeared. A one

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>page document prepared by the Florida Department of Education says

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that it rejected a proposed advanced placement course because it

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>included the study of topics like the Movement for Black Lives,

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Black feminism, and reparation, and it questioned the inclusion of

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>certain black authors and historians whose writings touch on critical

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>race theory and black communism. Can I give you an

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>example of a lesson they don't want taught. The state

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>objects to the inclusion of writing by Robbing D. G. Kelly,

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a professor of American history at UCLA, who warns that

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>simply establishing safe spaces and renaming campus buildings does nothing

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to overthrow capitalism. She not lying at all. I mean,

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>those are steps in the right direction, but changing the

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>label on poison the holistic medicine doesn't make it not

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>poison now. Florida also said the course framework for the

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>study of reparations has no critical perspective or balancing opinion

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>in this lesson. I feel like y'all think I'm lying. Okay,

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>So let's go to CBS Miami for the report. Police

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Governor rods at his facing widespread outrage of its administrations

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>projection of a new course on African American studies in

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the state high schools and the statement of relates to

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.679
<v Speaker 1>CBS News. A spokesperson for the Department of Education and said,

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>in part quote and its current form, the College boards

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>APay African Americans Studies course lacks educational value and there's

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.519
<v Speaker 1>contrary to Florida law. If the course comes into compliance

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and incorporates historically accurate content, the Department will reopen the discussion.

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>It says. The Governor was in Fort Myers today and

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>made no mention of the decision. The course, which has

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>been tested at sixty schools across the country, aims to

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>expand the advanced coursework offered by the College Board into

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the study of the African diaspora in the US College Board.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>The organization behind the course responded with this statement. Like

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>all new ap courses, ap African American Studies is undergoing

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>a rigorous multi year pilot phase, collecting feedback from teachers, students, scholars,

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and policymakers. We look forward to bringing this rich and

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>inspiring exploration of African American history and culture to students

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>all across the country. What is the white man. I've

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>given us historically accurate content about us. Can I tell

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you something. I think the act of blocking African American

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>studies is disgusting because it literally is saying in the

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>quiet part out loud, which is simply, we don't want

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you negroes knowing nothing about enough. And Okay, it's the

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>tale as old as time. Shoot the nose off the spins.

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't teach black people anything except how African American history

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>began with slavery. As long as we keep them dumb,

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>deaf and blind to who they are, they will never

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>know what they can be. Oh which the Lion King baby, Okay,

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole chapter of my last book, Black Privilege, is

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>about how The Lion King was based on the history

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of black people in America and how when we came

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to Western civilization, we didn't know who we was until

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Raffiki wokes himber up and reminded him. And that's what

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>this is. Okay. Rafiki may be coming in the form

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of ap African American Studies, and the government of Florida

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>is not happening it. Okay, We're gonna keep these negroes

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>eating bugs and singing a coonam with Toddle when they

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.719
<v Speaker 1>know Dan, Well, it's a lot to worry about. Now

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing, back to my original point. Okay, I

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>believe the act of blocking African American studies is disgusting,

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>but we can't depend on white institutions to educate us

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>about us. Okay, teaching us about us has to be

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>on us, all right. That should be learned in the

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>home because the reality is you're not gonna hear about

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm X, Nat Turner, then Mark Bessie, James Ballwin in

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>no public schools. Okay, they're gonna give you some MLK

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>junior with the side of Rosa Parks and that staff.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Now Ron just and spoke to why he is against

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the African American ape studies. Let's go to ABC ten

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>twittery port Plice Day. Governor Runda Santis is speaking at

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>a press conference today. He addressed the recent rejection of

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>an African American studies course at Florida high schools. This

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 1>course on black history. What are what's one of the

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>lessons about queer theory? Now, who would say that an

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>important part of black history is queer theory? That is

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody pushing an agenda on our kids, and so when

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>you look to see they have stuff about intersectionality, abolishing prisons,

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 1>that's a political agenda. And so we're on that's the

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>wrong side of the line for Florida's standards. We believe

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>in teaching kids facts and how to think, but we

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>don't believe they should have an agenda imposed on them.

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>The governor goes on to say that he and the

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>administration and we're outraged earlier this month after banning that

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.359
<v Speaker 1>ap course, arguing that it violates state law and quote

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>lacks educational value. Now I can agree with Ron de

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 1>santists shouldn't be any political agenda involved in black history.

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 1>And I asked someone who is way smarter than me,

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>what is queer theory, and they said intersexuality. You know,

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>think studying roles James Baldwin being you know, gay, you

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>know how that played a role in his life. Totally

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>understand that queer theory makes perfect sense. That I love

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 1>James Baldwin, you know, the panel conversations between him, Bayard Rustin,

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and Malcolm X are incredibly insightful. But I don't feel

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>as if they focused on identity politics the way this

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>generation does. They were all black first, and mind your

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>own business about who they sleeping with. Second. But that's

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the type of stuff you could learn by teaching the class, okay.

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And you can't really teach the last twenty years of

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>black history, you know, without BLM, which was founded by

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>members of the queer community. So I think the difference

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>between now and then is that Bayard Rustin, James Baldwin,

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.720
<v Speaker 1>they were members of the lgbt TQ community, but it

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>wasn't mentioned, but now it would be. So what do

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>we have here, ladies and gentlemen, a classic case of

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the white man white manning. Okay, this is what's been

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>happening since we got here, all right, always trying to

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>erase our history. So what's the answer. Yeah, we can

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and should raise hell about this African American studies class

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>being blocked. But don't just focus on what the white

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>man isn't allowing us to teaching the schools. Focus on

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>what we are teaching our babies at home. Can we

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>please let Chelsea handle give Ron to Stantis in the

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Florida Department of Education the biggest he had Hee haw

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>hee haw. That is way too much. Dan Mann is

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, all right, well, thank you for that. Donkey today.

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Now when we come back, we're taking your calls. Eight

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred five A five one oh five one. We were

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>having a conversation behind the scenes. It started with La.

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>La was our guest hosted, trying to get a Valentine.

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Clearly this morning we were talking about the difference between

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I love you, I love you, and I love you,

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>those two terms. Right now. We were saying that I

0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>love you. It's more personal, more intimate, more intimates, more casual,

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and people are saying people aren't putting as much thought

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>as they used to when they say love you. It's

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>just like saying goodbye or hello, or love you, love you,

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>love you. That's that's what I love you is very different,

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna talk about that when we come back

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>with the context of I love you, because I tell

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I tell friends I love you. Who? What do you

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>mean who? My friends? I don't love you? Don't look

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>so hurt about it. Hurt okay, But we're gonna talk

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>about it when we come back. Yes, it might be

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the context I I don't think I've ever told my

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>friend I love you. I just I love I love you,
