Florida to teach the positive aspects of slavery in Black history

Florida Middle Schoolers Will Now Be Taught That Slavery Had ‘Personal Benefit’ for Enslaved People

New academic standards slammed as "a big step backward" will require teachers to instruct that enslaved people "developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit"

Newly approved academic standards from Florida’s Board of Education will require middle schools to teach that enslaved people "developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit" — a line that has ignited significant controversy among teachers' groups.

The standards, which were approved Wednesday, come in response to the state's 2022 "Stop WOKE Act," which stated that race must be taught in "an objective manner" that does not "indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view." The measure pushed far-right lawmakers' rhetoric that teaching Black history makes White people feel ashamed, instructing that no student should be made to feel "guilt" or "responsibility" for actions previously committed by members of the same race.

In a state where the citizens describe mask mandates as "slavery" they take a very charitable view of actual slavery. It seems that chains and whips and rapings were misunderstood. They were actually programmes that helped black people become more useful slaves.

Its a novel approach to history but I suspect that the usual suspects will sieze on this and interpret it as Gov DeSantis being some sort of fascist.

People can be unkind in that regard.

I heard they changed the term “slavery” to “forced vocational training”

They got a free ride over from Africa so its only fair that they should pay that off.

[Tommy Tainant]

There is already a thread on this obscenity. Perhapa a mod could merge ?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why is the truth so objectionable?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Teachers will get around this without any problem.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Is this what you were taught ?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Is this what you were taught ?

That black people learned skills as slaves that they used to benefit themselves in Freedom. Not taught since these kinds of trueisms aren't taught.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Slaves did not learn anything new in America that they had not learned at home. The were agriculturalists, metallurgists, livestock peoples, blacksmiths, teachers, students, etc. in Africa.

You are rather twisting the truth. They learned skills to make them more valuable to the slave owner.
You types are vile.

"No matter what historians claimed, BC really stood for "Before Coffee "

Forgot who said that

They learned skills that made them valuable. Many used their skills to buy their freedom. Black people used to be men and women. Infantiling them into helplessness is recent.

Benefits? Like picking cotton? What crazy, convoluted BS. The students will laugh at such idiocy.

Like selling your wife or children to another planter?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

So I take it that "D'jango" will not be shown in public school?

This curriculum, written by two Black PhDs, includes information about the skills applied and developed by enslaved Africans to better their circumstances.

That's it.

Full stop.

That thread's in the Badlands now.

The only obscenity here is that neither you nor SBB (the other thread starter) looked at who wrote the curriculum, and why this element was included in it, preferring to jump on the hysterical & irrational,"There's a racist under every bed!" bandwagon.

 

[MinTrut]

Is this what you were taught ?

Yes.

Black Americans in slavery found varying ways to make their lives less horrendous.

This included the acquisition and application of various skills that increased their value and standing to themselves and their families, as well as to their "masters."
