Desantis is defending Florida's new mandatory curriculum that emphasis's the benefits to enslaved people of their incarceration.

Specifically, Florida’s teachers are now required to instruct middle-school students that enslaved people “developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

DeSantis has repeatedly defended the new language while insisting that his critics, who include Vice President Kamala Harris and two leading Black Republicans in Congress, are intentionally misinterpreting one line of the sweeping curriculum. Civil rights leaders who have watched DeSantis closely dismiss such explanations.

That 'Racist' Line in Florida's Curriculum? A Woke Course Dems Loved Says the Same Thing.​




The vice president took a trip to Florida last week to say the state’s new social studies standards "replace history with lies." She slammed the curriculum for including a line stating, "Slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit." But the AP African American Studies course framework designed by the College Board, which many Democrats including Harris defended in the face of scrutiny from DeSantis, includes a similar line.

"In addition to agricultural work, enslaved people learned specialized trades and worked as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians, and healers in the North and South," the AP course framework reads. "Once free, African Americans used these skills to provide for themselves and others."
