> [@k9bfriender](#): > > Republican logic at work: Kennedy was found to not be in violation of the establishment clause because he was not representing the district, so that clears the way for the district to violate the establishment clause. No, the logic is sound: “Since we now have a court that’s willing to ignore the Constitution for the Right Kind of people, let’s go ahead and ignore more of it.”. ---

A possible challenge to DeSantis? > **[Alabama governor ousts a top education official over a book's 'woke concepts'...](https://www.npr.org/2023/04/22/1171474014/alabama-governor-education-director-woke-book)** > > Gov. Ivey replaced her director of early childhood education over the use of a teacher training book that Ivey said teaches "woke concepts" because of language about inclusion and structural racism. This is an even better attack on the woke, because it is not even a classroom text, it is a teacher training manual. One way to ensure children are ~~not~~ properly educated is to make sure that the teachers are ~~not~~ educated too. `//i\\` ---
