Rep. Dianne Hart said she still hasn't heard from the governor in the days since a racist gunman claimed the lives of 3 Black people in Jacksonville.
It's been three days since a racist mass shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, claimed the lives of three Black individuals.
"If you consider the fact that the governor is trying to stamp out my history, would you expect him to reach out to the Legislative Black Caucus Chair?" Hart questioned."One of the people who have been outspoken as it relates to the fact that you don't want me to talk about my history?" It prohibits instruction that could make people feel they"bear responsibility" for historic wrongdoings because of their race, sex or national origin. Then earlier this year, the education department rejected a pilot version of an AP African American Studies course, saying it lacked educational value.But it's not just the governor's stances on education that Hart takes issue with. It's also the widespread gun violence that comes amid DeSantis' pro-gun policies.
Almost the same amount say they have also had a family member killed by a gun, including by suicide. In addition, the Kaiser poll found gun violence disproportionately affects people of color, with about a third of Black adults having witnessed someone being shot.
