In the context of your "Why does the entire Republican agenda involve stopping, limiting, or taking away something," it creates a hypothetical notion that it is part of the "entire" Republican agenda. And you give an abbreviated description that sounds so horrible. But it is not. Public schools have always had standards to be met. States mandate that your children must attend a school, and what must be taught. And what is not allowed. Not abiding by policy has always had severe punishments. Usually being fired or suspended. That is not particularly a Republican agenda. Nor does "the entire Republican agenda involve stopping, limiting, or taking away something". That's pure propaganda.

You think any lawyer would recommend that teachers provide any books to children?

A lawyer would recommend books that the school boards allow, and not recommend books that were against school policy. At least for schoolroom use. Outside of the school, acting as a private citizen, not a public school teacher, I expect that the teacher would have wider latitude.

Classroom libraries have been one of the effective aids developed to increase literacy.

And they still will be, even in Florida. The Bible would be an effective aid to increase literacy. I don't think Dems want to allow the Bible in public classroom libraries.

ALEC currently has the same legislation in every Republican legislative body in the country.

ALEC does not legislate. It recommends, influences, just as other nonprofits, like Planned Parenthood and the Health industries, etc. But the legislatures have to choose to adopt the various models, or parts of them, or versions that suit their constituency, and then create a bill to be voted on by the public. State legislators are not experts on every subject. Many are fairly stupid, actually. They get lots of advice from all manner of lobbyists and organizations. So the politicians pick and choose what they want to support (or are paid to support) or what they think can get them elected depending on the nature of their constituents. So, no, not every Republican state has the same laws, just as not all the Democrat states do either.

Claiming it’s different in every one is baloney, the same people are funding and writing the bills nationwide.

Not true. Not at the state level.

Just what did Ron DeFascist tell Disney?
You think other weaker businesses didn’t see that?
Actually, Disney had a fascist agreement with the State of Florida which gave Disney a sweet tax deal and Disney could basically regulate its own conduct in Disneyland. Desantis stopped that but not until June, by which time a new fascist deal can be hammered out.

And weaker companies didn't have that kind of fascist deal to risk. And, c'mon man, you don't think weaker companies fear their governments' intrusion into their viability if they don't tow the ruling political party's line? Look what's happening with the insertion of diversity, equality, and inclusion training in all manner of businesses.

So Disney’s deal was fascist, now fascism is providing services to your own business at your cost while the state doesn’t pay. DeFascist found out that his tantrum was going to cost Floridians a fortune and tucked his tail between his legs and ran.

Tell us “what' happening with the insertion of diversity, equality, and inclusion training in all manner of businesses.”

For the most part, they are correct. The one thing, basically, that would prevent the centralization of American government into a fascistic single state instead of 50 different states is the Constitution. And if there is one thing that Progressives and leftist most want to achieve is the circumvention and/or the abolishment of the Constitution.

Sure
That’s why Dark money and ALEC exist because the oligarchy want to grow their power even more than it has for the last fifty years.

Like the Republican Party says:
If you're one of the top 1% and you want an enonomy that works for you, vote Republican. If the other 99% want to purchase their very own Congressman or Senator, see our Etsy page.
