Earlier this year, Florida sparked national controversy when it revised its public educational standards to include content that whitewashed the history of slavery. These changes to the state’s public school curriculum were one of many seemingly anti-Black policy changes in the Sunshine State over the past several years. Now, one Democratic state senator is trying to ban Florida from painting a positive image of slavery.
This is so weird I’m interested in how they justify this claim. Did life expectancy increase or something?
No, but the dipshits who passed the law this is in response to claimed they benefitted from slavery with job skills basically. Its fucking insane
Hah that’s crazy! ‘What are they complaining about!? They got taught the valuable (to the owners) skill of picking cotton!’ That’s wild.
