Reminder that these are the people we are dealing with here (2023 story below):
(This was later repealed IIRC, but not before first being approved.)
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.
To be fair slavery never really went away on the United States.
It's just dressed up a little differently.
Prison garb, etc..?
"Okay we won't make black people slaves anymore, only criminals will be slaves"
"Black people are criminals"
It really is that cut and dry down there isn't it. Pretty fucking wild.
