Ron DeSantis’s hand-picked choice to poorly educate the children of Florida, the state’s Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr., has pulled out of a public appearance in a predominantly Black community in Miami-Dade County where he was going to expound on the state’s newly rewritten history of African-Americans, who now learn that their ancestors benefited from generations of slavery to primarily white masters.
According to the Miami Herald, more than 1,000 people has signed up to attend the town hall with Diaz in Miami Gardens on Thursday. Now, nope: on Wednesday, Diaz announced he would not participate. “The governor and commissioner are bold enough to put forth these policies but not bold enough to face these people,” Democratic State Sen. Shevrin Jones, a co-organizer of the event, said.
