Fla.'s Stop WOKE Act Remains Stymied

Lower Deck:

A panel of federal judges is keeping in place a block on Florida's Stop WOKE Act while appeals progress.

Of course, this is probably just what DeSantis intended to have happen...

Do you know what Rushdoony and his Recons taught?  Sharia ain't it.

Dominion Theology would beg to differ.

Tabia Lee lost her job because of pronouns. Despite being a black woman.

The Daily Mail has a fair and balanced account (just kidding):

Saw this. She sounded like a complete nutcase.

It is a good look calling a black woman crazy with no evidence. Don't let me hold you back.

Irvine takes UOP credits?

This says she has an EdD.

Bet TDM got it backwards. 

Gotta say, her website looks a little weird to me.  She has made and posted a biography video on YouTube.  She has a cartoon down that the bottom of the page----check it out.  And what's up with that headshot?

Dominion theology is more problematic, but it is not the same as Christian Reconstructionism.

I was rather involved with the Recons in the 90s, and wrote an essay about them in 2000 which is online.  I will send the URL in private to anyone who asks, even though it will out me.

Kay, are you a proponent of theocracy?

[kaysixteen]

You are going to dislike this response, but I need to get you to define your terms, what you are asking me if I am a proponent of.... what is 'theocracy'?

Of course, in any case, I did not say I am a Christian Reconstructionist, and I note that you did not ask me for the URL of the blog I wrote.

it's a social theory that argues that modern societies should be reorganized in terms of biblical law.

Guess we should start stoning sinners.

Who says I will dislike your response?  And that was an honest question, so please don't play the obtuse game.  A "Theocracy," as I understand the term, is a government with a stated religious orientation.  What nebo said.

And I am sorry I did not ask for your blog.  I literally have a bookshelf of unread material and a hard drive full of pilfered PDFs, and I bought a book on Modernism and 1,001 Nights yesterday.  However, I will send a PM now.  I will not out you.

[kaysixteen]

Nebo's link, and her brief summation of the Recon view, is accurate.

I did not say I was one, however.  I am however at pains to point out that all law is based on someone's standards, based on some underlying/ undergirding philosophy.  I will send along the link to wahoo and to anyone else who wants it.

[Wahoo Redux]

That is quite the document.  Will take me a bit to read as I work on other things.

So your "undergirding philosophy"-----is that overtly based on Judeo-Christian principles?

[kaysixteen]

Obviously, as a (hopefully) sincere Christian, I would have to say yes.   That said, there are a lot of so-called 'Christian worldview' questionnaires, tests, surveys, assertions, etc., out there, and there is precious little that can clearly and unambigiously be stated as 'biblical', without at least some sincere Christians rejecting, rightly or wrongly.

NPR: A Florida professor says his contract was terminated for teaching about racial justice

For years, Joeckel's class included a unit on the Black experience in the U.S., where he touched on the work of historic figures such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, as well as long-standing racial disparities in mass incarceration and educational attainment, as WLRN previously reported.

But recently, administrators took issue with Joeckel's curriculum, saying that they received a complaint from a student's parent about his lessons related to race, the professor said. Joeckel's contract was subsequently put under review last month. A few days ago, the instructor learned his contract would be terminated early.
