This is the same old, totally not new bullsh*t from white supremacists like Desantis:

From Toni Morrison many years ago stated:

The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”

He can pass all the laws he wants but he cannot halt progress, turn back the clock, or stop the passing of knowledge. Black people have many many avenues for passing on knowledge of ourselves. He hasn’t stopped anything. In fact, with the existence of the internet all he will only serve to do is make white people (white children in particular) even more tractable and ignorant than his current group of Boomer sycophants. Remember this isn’t an attempt to bring us to heel. It’s an attempt to control his current and future followers, settling them in comfortable stupidity about the rest of the world. This is also why educationally Florida is represented last in the entire country.
