DEMs are so good at being astonished, myself included, at a moment's notice of egregious behaviors of the GOP. But the GOP is so much better at playing the long game.
Long term goals of the GOP are to erase the history of people of color. Attack the public schools, limit what can be taught, divert funding to charter and private schools, claim public schools are underperforming and a societal failure, close public schools.
It started in AZ in 2010. Now in FL. Other states soon to follow suit.
