Knives are out for the congressman long held to be tapped as DeSantis's successor in Florida after he questioned state teaching standards about slaves learning skills they could 'benefit' from
After tweeting out condemnation of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' new educational standards requiring students to learn that some Black "slaves developed skills" they could benefit from, Rep. Byron Donalds has been inundated with attacks by DeSantis' gubernatorial and presidential campaign staffers.
A member of DeSantis' presidential campaign and a fellow gubernatorial staffer also compared Donalds, the sole Black GOP congressman in Florida's delegation, to Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black vice president of the United States, who recently traveled to Florida to excoriate the state for its new curriculum.
"Supposed conservatives in the federal government are pushing the same false narrative that originated from the White House," DeSantis press secretary in the Executive Office of the Governor, Jeremy Redfern, tweeted. "Florida isn't going to hide the truth for political convenience. Maybe the congressman shouldn't swing for the liberal media fences like @vp."
Florida middle schoolers will be taught that some Black "slaves developed skills" they could benefit from.

THIS is what happens to blacks in the Republican party who think independently. Colin Powell was denigrated for thinking independently. Michael Steele was fired as the head of the RNC for thinking independently. If you are black and don't push the blame blacks for the problems caused by racism, and don't lecture blacks on personal responsibility, unwed births, crime, don't declare that systemic racism doesn't exist, don't deny that white supremacy exists now, and don't declare how harmful affirmative action is for blacks, you get blasted.
Yet blacks are not supposed to vehemently despise other blacks who join the party and help promote an obviously racist agenda.
