The headline should read something more like "Florida students to return to schools after fascist-overhaul of the curriculum" but that wouldn't be "objective" enough for NPR.

Students will literally be watching Prager U Kids videos, require parental permission for a nickname, and be forcibly misgendered by even their closest, favorite, teacher as a matter of State Law.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ron DeSantis banned diversity and inclusion programs at public, postsecondary institutions, and the state's board of education approved a controversial social studies curriculum.

The Florida Board of Education approved the use of PragerU Kids videos to be shown in K-12 schools in late July, according to local news reports.

that no piece of land belongs to a single group of people indefinitely and finishes the video by asking "who wants to talk about" the morality of conquest?

Another video shows author Andrew Klavan calling feminism a "mean-spirited, small minded and oppressive philosophy."

Patrick Gibbons is the manager of policy and public affairs at Step Up for Students, a nonprofit that administers the scholarships.

Parents like Jennifer Devine and Jen Cousins say they filled out the forms by saying their children could go by whatever name they felt comfortable using.
