Gave his wife a  Block Birthday Party  in Augusta Ga.

 The demonstration was triggered by new congressional district lines, pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, that wipe away districts designed to help elect Black lawmakers. Ignoring the protests, the Republican-majority Legislature quickly passed the new redistricting map.

The Florida Department of Education announced Friday that more than 50 math textbooks have been rejected from the state’s curriculum for the coming school year, citing references to critical race theory as one of the reasons for the rejections. According to the announcement, references to critical race theory, “inclusions of Common Core,” and the “unsolicited addition of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in mathematics” were among the reasons textbooks were rejected. 

Recently, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (FL-24) announced that the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) is accepting applications for the 2022 United Health Foundation, Louis Stokes Health Scholarship Program, Ally Financial Law Scholars Program and Public Policy Scholars Program Scholarships, Stephen Feinberg Scholars Program and Multi-Year Program Scholarships, CBC Spouses Education Scholarships, CBC Spouses Essay Contest Scholarship, CBC Performing and Visual Arts Scholarships, and CBCF HBCU Scholarship. All qualified and motivated Black students who intend to pursue a degree within these fields are highly encouraged to apply.

Sen. Annette Taddeo said she won’t show for next week’s Special Session on redistricting.

The department cited references to critical race theory among reasons for the rejections.
