Spy Octopus Helps Friend Hide From Shark
Coconut octopuses are vulnerable to blacktip sharks, who use smell to find prey. With the help of an unlikely ally, this octopus is able to hide from hungry sharks.
Controversy arises as Miami-Dade school seeks parental consent for Black History Month events
From the linked article, here is what the class would teach. “…class and school wide presentations showcasing the achievements and recognizing the rich and diverse traditions, histories, and innumerable contributions of the Black communities.” So we are catering to the parents that don’t want kids to know that gay / trans people exist, now we are catering to the racist parents that don’t want black history and achievements taught. Well the first one, don’t say gay increases harassment / attacks on gay and trans kids, the second does the same for black kids, it increases the racism they have to deal with. Some more quotes from the article.
But Gallon said he is concerned about the unintended consequences this may have on children whose parents choose not to have them attend. “Something feels very off here, and the fact that the school needs to cover themselves against the state feels even worse,” said Peeling. Florida International University Professor Marvin Dunn, who is an expert in African-American history, said this will create a generation of people who are miseducated when it comes Black history.
“When parents become involved in making that decision, keeping some kids out, some kids in, you have unequal learning,” said Dunn.
Here is the entire goal of the right, DeathSantis, and maga.
“The intent of the DeSantis attack on education is to make schools more cautious, to make teachers more cautious about what they teach, and it’s working,” he said. “It’s not about banning books necessarily, it’s about banning ideas.”

Miami School Asks Parents To Sign Permission Slips Allowing Children To Learn About Black History Month
Miami’s ABC affiliate reports:
February marks Black History Month, an important topic being taught at South Florida schools, but now parents at IPrep Academy are being asked to sign off on whether they want their children to participate in some of the educational events.
“I was shocked,” said concerned parent Jill Peeling, who said she thought she may have misunderstood the document. “I’m concerned. I’m concerned as a citizen.” Miami-Dade School Board Member Steve Gallon said it all has to do with getting parental consent when individuals come on campus.
“This is a policy that’s an extension of a new state board rule,” said Gallon. It’s a policy that was just enacted last year in November, an extension of the Parental Bill Of Rights.
Read the full article. Those of here will know the Parental Bill of Rights by its more accurate name, “Don’t Say Gay.” To which we can add, “Don’t Say Black.” Last year the Miami-Dade School Board banned any recognition of LGBTQ History Month.
Will they include this? I want them to include this.
Black history is white history. Black people didn’t enslave themselves…

I am so glad I am not a parent and live in Florida.
These A-Holes are setting these kids up to fail when they get jobs in the real world because I can tell you my company won’t put up with discrimination.
Isn’t the Black History taught in Florida the one that insists slavery allowed lots of Africans unpaid internships in an exciting new country?
From the “Massive Resistance” movement 60 years ago, a page from my 7th-grade Virginia History textbook.
“Something feels very off here, and the fact that the school needs to cover themselves against the state feels even worse,” said Peeling.
Ya think???
Florida, where education is a four-letter word.
Which you are probably not legally allowed to say in any K-12 school.
Trying to convince people MLK was a Republican isn’t working. Hence, they just won’t teach anything about him going forward.
Is there a permission slip for algebra too?
A good friend sent this to me about a month ago.I think it came from a “reader poll” in his local paper, but I’m not sure. I can’t vouch for its accuracy, but I wasn’t surprised when I saw it. Friend is an MIT math grad who doesn’t traffic in conspiracy theories or create memes, so I give it some credence. He sent it with the comment “what a great country we live in”.

I disagree with the balding cue ball head. 😜😉😁🤣
OK I couldn’t resist, if you watch the video you will understand. I do sometimes state the truth that those on the receiving end will not like being called. I call racist, racist. I call bigots and haters, well, what they are bigots and haters. I do question the mental abilities of those that can not reason well or who support conspiracies over facts. I call people who get their medical information from politicians and preachers rather than doctors and medical professional / medical scientist stupid. Yup, and I don’t care it offends them. Because I will start out trying to help someone, but as the lady said, “When they show you who they are, believe them the first time”. So I do agree with the good Reverend some, maybe half way. But sometimes you have to just lay the cards on the table, no matter what they show. That said, if you have elderly parents or a spouse that is … highly opinionated about something, maybe then you do have to hold your tongue. I would have to care a real lot to stay quiet though.
