Americans who are concerned with free speech should be terrified by reactionary government officials like DeSantis, who answer hard questions with censorship.
Using the word"woke"—a term created by Black people to refer to systemic injustice—and disregarding what Black people mean by it in order to ridicule it is anti-Black. So in some ways, his administration banning an African American Studies AP should not surprise us.
Yet in a state that is 15 percent Black, African American Studies is a bridge too far. What is DeSantis afraid of? Why would he not want students to explore inconvenient academic concepts like institutional and systemic racism and the ineffectiveness of a colorblind approach? Beyond symbols and paraphernalia, Florida has been ground zero for systemic racism. Students in Miami-Dade may learn that Overtown, an impoverished section of the city, was once a relatively prosperous Black community dubbed" before city and state officials built highways right through Overtown, displacing thousands of Black residents and upending its business district.
