BUD'S BLOG, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, 2023

We'll talk about an extraordinary new development in the story we've been following about the College Board's advanced placement high school course on African American studies rejected by Governor DeSantis. The Governor said the course could not be taught in Florida, because it was filled with woke ideology aimed at indoctrinating students instead of educating them. Guess what? The College Board has just come out with a revised curriculum featuring many of the changes Governor DeSantis wanted! I was shocked and pleased to see that, but disgusted when the College Board claimed pressure from DeSantis had nothing to do with the changes they've made! I just don't buy that, do you? Let's talk about it!

I spent time Wednesday afternoon watching TV coverage of the funeral of Tyre Nichols, the young black man beaten to death by five black Memphis, Tennessee police officers. I found the video of the beating terribly painful to watch, but remember thinking that at least with all the people involved being black, at least there would be no charges of racism. WRONG! Liberal race hustlers and race baiters are telling us the killing of Tyre Nichols is evidence of systemic racism in police departments across the country...that cops, whether they're white or black, are biased against black citizens and out to get them. I don't see it that way, and hate that the race card is being played for political purposes in the wake of this tragedy, especially during Tyre Nichols' funeral. I'd like to know how you feel about this, and hope you'll join us by phone, text or Talkback.

We'll put the spotlight on Governor DeSantis' newly unveiled 2023-24 state budget he calls a "Framework for Freedom". For the most part I like what I see in this spending plan. I'll share some highlights, but will also pose some questions about aspects of the budget that concern me.
