Reply to comment by Nwk_NJ in Activist in Newark, NJ: We must end the 'ban on Black history' by madsheb

There might not be a literal ban but watering down a black history course to the point that some of the most important black intellectuals in U.S. history have been removed from the syllabus because they offend the sensibilities of reactionary dipshits like Ron DeSantis is the main point, not whether the word "ban" is being used correctly.

Well it isn't being used correctly. I'd love to have a detailed conversation regarding some of the intellectuals you're referencing. I'm sure some of them are up for debate as well, as far as people's take on their ideas. Again, people should be exposed to everyone's work and ideas, as long as they aren't singularly put forth.
