A Florida textbook publisher, Studies Weekly, has removed all references to race from a lesson about Rosa Parks, the civil rights icon.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ Stop WOKE Act is the driving force behind this revisionist approach to history and has been widely criticized by historians, civil rights activists, and educators.

Rosa Parks was a courageous woman who took a stand for her rights and ignited the Civil Rights Movement. By eliminating race from her story, Studies Weekly is removing a crucial aspect of American history. Understanding Rosa Parks' legacy requires acknowledging the racial context in which she fought for equality.

The Stop WOKE Act censors history and stifles dissent. The alteration of Rosa Parks' story is just one example of how this legislation is being used to whitewash significant aspects of our shared past.

When we don't teach history accurately, we risk repeating our mistakes. America is a diverse and imperfect nation, and confronting the truth about our past is essential for growth and understanding.

By whitewashing history, we dismiss the lived experiences of entire communities and risk forgetting the sacrifices and achievements of American heroes.

Stand up for the truth and help preserve the legacy of Rosa Parks and countless other Americans who fought for civil rights by signing the petition now.

Students deserve the truth. Stop whitewashing history now.
