"Why are you promoting this individual who, in their philosophy, sees so many people, Black and brown folks, LGBTQ+ folks as secondhand citizens?" said Hughes. The one-page document prepared by the Florida Department of Education also questions the inclusion of certain Black authors and historians whose writings touch on critical race theory and Black communism. For example, the state objects to the inclusion of writing by Robin D.G.
