against anyone with a different worldview, some organizations have felt the need to go to extreme lengths to appease him and his f--ked up perspective.

Meanwhile, the conservative group Florida Citizens Alliance has reportedly “urged the state to reject 28 of the 38” text books its volunteers have reviewed. The group apparently found too many references to slavery in a fifth-grade text book, and felt that an eighth-grade text book spent too much time on the “negative side” of the treatment of Native Americans, without providing a robust account of the bad things Native Americans did.

It was about two competing economic systems.
