They don’t care about political correctness, they worry about social progress.  Being “woke” is great if it’s regressive.
He’s using Florida as some weird lab experiment to see if he can get away with this kind of manipulation on a national stage. >

GOP has supermajorities in both Florida chambers.  He doesn’t really have to manipulate all that much >

Yeah, it's hard to say that he's manipulating anyone when the state GOP is nothing but grifters and Florida man memes. >

Just when you think Florida can't get worse, DeSantis finds a way.

Western civilization? Guess can't say 'white people history'. >

I remember when Dole and Bush Sr were telling racists at Republican conventions to get the fuck out. >

Not because they aren’t racist themselves but because it’s a bad look. Just like the conservatives today don’t like being compared to Nazis even though their actions are fascist as fuck.
As Stromfront said in The Boys:

People love what I have to say. They believe in it. They just don't like the word Nazi, that's all. >

They Are Nazis - Bill >

I used to always think if there was some renegade white nationalist state it would be Idaho or Montana. Never did I think it would be Florida. >

Anti-gay too. You'd think Oklahoma or Utah would be leading the charge not Florida with its famous gay nightlife and previously lax attitudes. >

Ah cool, so they'll cover the triangular trade and all that, right?
...Right? >

oooo i wonder how they'll cover the pinkertons and the trail of tears. >

Isn’t western civilization a basic humanities requirement? I took two semesters of it 20 years ago. >

Not anymore.
That said I don't think Conservatives realize that "Western Civilization" courses at the University level generally mean Greek and Roman history upto around the time of Constantine - and don't portray Christianity in any sort of a positive light. Quite the opposite in fact. >

Oh they see the irony all right they wonder why they didn't think of this sooner the gloves are finally come off the question is what are we going to do not of what are they doing >

“Western civilization” course… huh that doesn’t sound like a fascist propaganda course at all! >

These idiots don't see the irony.   
Turns out this Desantis guy is woke as fuck.
