The New York Times reports...

NYT shows how the textbook changed:
Original: "The law said African Americans had to give up their seats on the bus if a white person wanted to sit down"
Draft 1: "She was told to move to a different seat because of the color of her skin"
Draft 2: "She was told to move to a different seat"

If I'm reading the NYT article correctly, the textbook publisher backpedaled back to the Draft 1 version and pulled Draft 2 from review by the state when the NYT reached out for comment on this story but this is exactly the kind of effect DeSantis and the GOP are trying to get from publishers, threatening them into "self-censoring" to comply with these laws.

Talk about white washing history
