Conservatives Go Beserk Over Black History Month

Cry more, please.


It's not difficult to understand why there is a Black History Month but not a White History Month. That's because White History Month is every month.

And then there is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who rejected a new high school Advanced Placement African-American studies course, so he's trying to erase Black history completely. DeSantis believes the course "lacks educational value" and violates the state's Stop WOKE Act by promoting critical race theory (CRT).

I wouldn't be shocked if DeSantis tried to scrub Black History Month, too, if he ever is elected to the presidency. He would probably replace it with Ashli Babbit Month or The Plight Of White America Month. I'm sure he would issue an Executive Order for a Tucker Carlson Day, too.

Conservatives took to Twitter to express their outrage.

it's not like there is white history only studied in those months.

It's not the 1950s, where you might have said that. But schools now do a lot more. But usually the 50s is where these people want to go.

are so afraid of getting their feelings hurt, I'm surprised they leave their homes at all.

What a bunch of whiners.
