But is this really so new? Consider these two Neoslavery era laws (“Jim Crow”) of the dozen Floria passed in that hundred year post-Civil War time period: “1944: Miscegenation law: Illegal for whites and Negroes to live in adultery. Penalty: up to $500, or up to two years imprisonment.
1945: Antidefamation Law: Unlawful to print, publish, distribute by any means, any publications, handbills, booklets, etc. which tends to expose any individual or any religious group to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or abuse unless the name and address of those doing so is clearly printed on the written material.
These two beauties are just pure censorship aimed at Love (marriage and relationships showing equality between blacks and whites) or the second one meant to protect the “feelings” of whites.

Sarasota passed a law to segregate beaches in 1967. They have a long track record of protecting white feelings by keeping blacks on the “other side”. Sure, they don’t want any children to read those laws, nor the stories of the Ocoee or Rosewood massacres, because it will make DeSantis and his party look back. Passing racist laws and committing massacres for a hundred years kind of looks a bit like genocide, incredibly harsh treat based on ethnicity. Which it was. But would you some white school kid start asking questions like, “Teacher, I know they killed Hitler and that ended the genocide in Germany. But what ended the atrocities and legal segregation against blacks in Florida against those committing them?” You don’t want to make the teachers squirm and kids uncomfortable when they realize the answer might be “No one.”
