Some Florida students are opting to skip class for part of Friday, choosing to learn a banned history lesson instead.
Hundreds of high school and college students across the Sunshine State are walking out of classrooms as part of a protest organizers say is against the state government’s censorship and erasure when it comes to race and gender identity in education.
At noon, they’ll check their voter registration status, send a letter to local school board members and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis pledging they’ll use their vote to defend students’ rights, and take part in a five-minute banned history lesson that will focus on censorship and historic figures in Black and LGBTQ history.
It’s all part of Walkout 2 Learn: a youth-led statewide walkout and rally in defiance of Florida’s crackdown on lessons surrounding race and Black history along with a string of anti-LGBTQ laws that are impacting students.

These were a great resource for kids and we had plenty of the series in my home growing up. The books are still fun to read and the art is classic. For some of the books I expect the science as it was known then should be approached with a critical eye as new discoveries and understanding would require new learning.
The planned city of La Plata — the capital city of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina — is characterized by its strict, square grid pattern. At the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris, the new city was awarded two gold medals in the categories “City of the Future” and “Better Performance Built.” La Plata has a population of around 772,000 people.

For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.
This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.
This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post
