And of course the web site that reported this was 100% objective and had no preconceived notions that he's a bigot?
What if, and this is a big IF Larry, in the spirit of free inquiry, Teacher DeSantis took the side of the South in order to foster a discussion, that he knew would ultimately explain to his students why the South's outright racism and ownership of human beings as slaves was a bad thing? News flash; that's what goes on in academic environments as a way to teach.
Hell, have you never participated in a formal debate, where you have no idea nor control which side of an argument you'll be given?
So I'm not saying any of what I just said about that web site, or DeSantis' behavior is accurate, because I don't know which web site you're referring to, or what their agenda is, or what actually happened (and neither do you, my friend.) But it's just the most obvious reaction to you finding some web page that makes those types of outrageous claims, after using the search that you did.
In fact, I would expect nothing less in the way of what's returned from your search based on using that search phrase.
Besides, whether you agree with DeSantis politically or not, we have to admit he's not a total idiot, right? I mean that man does have an Ivy League law degree, and it's reasonable to infer that he's had political ambitions for quite some time. So why would he engage in behavior, that were it true, and were it to come out, would be political suicide?
I knew it was bad out there with the average American believing bullshit that the media and big tech presented to them, but I had no idea it was quite this bad. Unbelievable Larry, just unbelievable.
