Please ask your state representative to co-sponsor HB 51. This is the gist of HB 51:

Each school district, charter school, and private school that received voucher money must include in their school curriculum instruction required under f.s. 1003.42(2)(g) and (h), relating to the history of the Holocaust  and the history of African Americans​.​

Some people who are filled with bigotry and hate are willing to spout their hate and bigotry in the public square. We need to include in our publicly funded schools a lesson on the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping for the purposes of encouraging tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic society and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions.

Our country is based on wonderful ideals: liberty and justice for all, equal opportunities for the pursuit of happiness, freedom to practice your religion, and freedom from the brutalities of other people’s religions. We all know our country doesn’t always meet those wonderful ideals. Publicly funded education that teaches those ideals is one way to get closer to achieving them.

 The main purpose of Florida Statute 1003.42 (2)(g) is to explain the Holocaust in a way to reduce prejudice not only against Jewish people but also against other minority groups and against women. Please consider reading the book Policing the Womb by Michele Goodwin which illustrates the devastating effect some of our laws have on poor women especially poor women of color. We don’t have to look any further than the Jacksonville city council committee’s vote​–to keep a monument that was installed to promote Jim Crow laws​–to realize that our community needs​ ​a better understanding of the ramifications of prejudice.

Florida Statute 1003.42 (2)(g) is an important message for our community and should be taught in all publicly funded schools:

(g)1. The history of the Holocaust …[must] be taught in a manner that leads to an investigation of human behavior, an understanding of the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping, and an examination of what it means to be a responsible and respectful person, for the purposes of encouraging tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic society and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions,—
