DeSantis’ ruling to prevent African American studies being available as an Advanced Placement Elective course is born of ignorance and needs to be juxtaposed to the current American History being taught in High School.
American history is rife with inaccuracies, falsehoods, and untruths.
Let’s begin with Columbus discovering America , who was lost and didn’t know where he was . Let’s add the massacre of the indigenous people that occupied this land mass..DeSantis needs to be educated in the real history of this country.

@David — agreed. We have a lot of roads with multiple names – some official and others ceremonial.

I10, I75, I96, et al are collectively known as the Eisenhower Interstate System.

The Florida Turnpike (Sunshine State Turnpike) is now the Ronald Reagan Turnpike.

U.S. 90 is also known as Tennessee or Mahan, depending upon where you’re standing.

U.S. 27 South of town is also S.R. 20. (Most folks don’t even know that.)

It’s really not a big deal….

I’m thinking that the renaming of the stretch of Tharpe Street from Raa Middle School to Godby High School as the “Georgia ‘Joy’ Bowen Memorial Boulevard” is a Honorary renaming only not an actual renaming. A marker will be place at either end of the stretch or Road.

If a street can be renamed once, why not twice, or thrice… Why not rename trees, water, or clouds too. Oh, I know… let’s rename public restrooms after politicians.

The Daily Dumper
The Dozier Duce
The Porter Potty
The Matlow Pepperoni Pooper

… or just rename them all Biden’s America. The whole world is emptying their prisons and dumping their sh!t on us anyway.

Good question, how can they rename streets or is it just a recommendation. Even so, if you’re going to rename a street in Tallahassee rename the entire street not just part of it. Never have a lived anywhere where streets have multiple names, it’s stupid, confusing and completely avoidable if you use common sense.

Congrats to Rocky Hannah and crew!!! We request more meetings like this to be appropriatly discussing subject matter and acting on such subject matter appropriate for a school board.
See you CAN do it!!!
Nothing was mentioned about grooming, pedophile, DragQueen Story Time, boys and girls peeing together showering together…ect…ect…ect. None of that stuff!!!
Parents and Grandparents countywide request you conduct all meetings just like this one.
Otherwise you will be forever known as the LCSG- Leon County School Groomers.

Again thanks Rocky and crew for the first totally appropriate school board meeting since Bill Montford was Superintendant.
Keep it up Rocky and we will name our next Middle School after you!!!!

How in the Heck does the school board have the authority to name streets?
