I guess the next thing that they will teach is the slaves were much better off on the plantations than they would have been in Africa; and the blacks should be thanking us and paying reparations for having rescued them.

Florida has become the wolkenkuckucksheim that Republicans (and other Fascists) dream of. I am deeply ashamed of my home state's government. The clowns are running the Florida circus.
