\nWord in Black<\/p>\n

Miguel Cardona, secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, wrote an opinion column in the Tampa Bay Times, calling to \u201cenrich public schools, not ban books and topics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Secretary Cardona laid out a number of ideas for how to proceed with the evolution of public education as how and what students are taught has been spotlighted by some politicians taking a firm stance in criticizing what has been introduced in the classroom.<\/p>\n

How Cardona sees it, \u201cparents don\u2019t want politicians dictating what their children can learn, think and believe,\u201d according to the column. \u201cThat\u2019s not how public education is supposed to work in a free country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The education secretary\u2019s stance is an outward rebuke to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other Republican politicians seeking to ban certain books and studies.<\/p>\n

DeSantis\u2019 administration has banned Florida\u2019s public schools from teaching advanced placement of African American studies. A pilot college course the state\u2019s Department of Education says \u201csignificantly lacks educational value\u201d and would consider a revised curriculum with \u201clawful, historically accurate content.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeSantis has said Black history is required but has publicly called out the course in what he believes was designed to advance a political agenda to \u201cindoctrinate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move to cancel the advanced Black studies course comes after the Governor\u2019s Stop Woke Act, a bill he signed into law in 2022 to fight off diversity and inclusion efforts in schools and businesses.<\/p>\n

In a one-on-one interview with the Michigan Chronicle, Cardona hits back at this effort he believes is designed to remove Black history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m tired of these attacks on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). I\u2019m tired of politicians who are trying to score points and infusing themselves in our schools,\u201d Secretary Cardona remarked.<\/p>\n

He believes a local school board and educators should set the curriculum in schools, while parents should have access and a say in their child\u2019s education as well. The education secretary says what\u2019s happening across the nation is censorship in schools and government overreach.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just one state that is doing this,\u201d Cardona said. \u201cMy concern is around targeting Black history or books that highlight the Black experience in our country. My concern with that is that it\u2019s very specific, it\u2019s very targeted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardona wants children to see themselves in the curriculum, learning where we\u2019ve been as a nation, who we are, and where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese discussions can be hard. But they become impossible when politicians try to hijack them to promote their own partisan agendas,\u201d according to Cardona\u2019s opinion column.<\/p>\n

In his interview, Secretary Cardona said he had to strike back on Florida\u2019s efforts to silence Black studies and other similar attacks on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very specific attack on Black history and for me, silence is complicity, so not saying something would be a problem for me \u2013 so, I said what I said.\u201d\u201cAttempts to divide our schools, attempts to target specific groups of people just goes against the role of public education.\u201d<\/p>\n
