It was DUHSantis dumb-shit.Nope. That was you. You put that spin on it. THe fact remains that the history of that is accurate.
I didn't claim slavery was a teaching tool.
Florida’s public schools will now teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them useful skills, part of new African American history standards approved Wednesday that were blasted by a state teachers' union as a “step backward.”
The Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” according to a 216-page document about the state’s 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education.
So, why include it?Nothing in that indicates that it will be a major theme or portion of the course.
Then why DUHSantis?I vaguely recall learning about the field house slave divide in school. It was mentioned, discussed for a few minutes and then we moved on. No one really cared. It was an interesting historical factoid. Only interesting to me, because I am a history buff.
It is not defending whites for slavery. Whites don't need to be defended for slavery.
You seem to think acknowledging is attacking.YOU seem to think that hte point of teaching history is to ATTACK whites.
