I shared the letter I sent earlier today to the College Board re: their shameful capitulation to Ron deSatan with my daughter:

apcoursepilot@collegeboard.org

To Whom It May Concern at the College Board,

I just read a news report about the College Board’s pusillanimous catering to the outrageous insistence by Ron DeSantis and other right-wing crazies to water down an AP course on Black History.

Do you realize how you are shooting yourselves in the foot? What happened to academic rigor? Or freedom? What happened to your integrity? You gave in to the patently racist demands of some truly ignorant and sadly self-serving politicians of the worst kind.

Conservatives are for ignorance, not education. What kind of future do you intend for my children and grandchildren?

What kind of example are you setting for your children and grandchildren?

I can only conclude that somewhere along the line in your education you all skipped the critical thinking portion.

I am beyond disappointed. I am disgusted.

Daughter replied: Mom- say what you really mean…

So I texted back: Now this is a guy who always says what he means…

and pasted a link to your letter TC.

Thank you always!

TC!

I just had a dreamy vision of you spitting this out with fury on a Broadway stage. The audience slowly dropped their disbelieving jaws...they drool over the imagery....and then...and then.... a long standing ovation. People said they were so hoarse from screaming "YES, YES, YES!!!", they couldn't talk for days.

But then they all got on buses and went to DC. They visited the Capitol. And they screamed. A lot.

The whole thing went viral and then a rally ensued. The insurrectionist idiots were blocked from entering the place they tried to burn down. Thousands of grandmothers brought mace and baseball bats to use on the Fascists. They didn't need to use them. The traitors ran. tictok exploded. The world applauded.

Then I woke up.
