Republican-controlled Legislature has refused to eliminate birthday celebrations for Davis and Lee because they say it would amount to cancel culture. This is hypocrisy when this same Republican regime is out removing historical signage from, for example, our national parks and the Smithsonian.
I can't believe I agreed to move to Florida, but Winter Park was better than most Florida cities. Now I live in St. Petersburg to be closer to my older son which was a very bad decision. It's a nice place for gay people but not nice for someone who's a widow and in my 80's. Florida has a terrible governor and legislation which is such a red state going back to the racist years that I had thought had gone. I grew up in Alabama and hated what I saw while I was doing my radiology training. So I moved west to Arizona, Oregon and finally to the wonderful state of California where I worked for many years, but my husband thought moving to Florida would be a better place to retire. He was wrong and died in Orlando in a terrible Advent Health Hospital. We must keep fighting and protesting to try to save this country and state!
I've lived here since 1970 and I've never heard of those so called "state holidays" we certainly never had them off from school, never had any sort of commemoration. perhaps this is just a Tallahassee thing?
Since 2016, the GOP has been on a campaign to reverse the result of the Civil War and the subsequent Reconstruction. Except for the reunification of the Union, the MAGA agenda aims to reverse all successes of Reconstruction. They are busy nullifying the 14th and 15th Amendments and, effectively, the so-called Treaty of Appomattox. Essentially, we are now re-litigating the Civil War. If you haven't noticed that fact, you just haven't been paying attention. They plan for a win by the Confederacy.
