NEWS: Censorship continues in Florida as "Ruby Bridges," a movie based on the true story of courageous 6-year-old Ruby Bridges who helped integrate segregated schools in 1960 New Orleans, has been removed from a Florida school after one parent complained it might teach white children to hate black children.
This comes right on the heels of complaints that Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, is trying to eliminate AP African American studies from the state's schools, a charge he denies.
Yet, through his crusade against "wokeness," he has weaponized ill-informed parents against teaching a vital part of American history that must not be subject to censorship.
The subject of the movie, Ruby Bridges, is only 68 years old today -- a reminder that the dark past DeSantis is trying to obscure is not that far behind us.
He will try banning the Beatles' Eight days a week movie next has it reference to them (contractually) not playing at a segregated stadia unless fans are desegregated.
