So, Ron Desantis is really just having a fun lately. I believe he has learned something from DJT when it comes to stuff that may look bad for him but you just double down on it even if you might believe it was a mistake. What I am talking about is the Florida Board of Education trying to rewrite history, especially black history. So, the controversy is a little line about Slavery providing needed job skills to the Slaves as it seems not only Florida, but I believe this was also in Texas where they try to paint Slavery in the best light as possible. It's a nice way to say that Slavery wasn't all bad, it was instead a way to uplift black people with needed job skills they would not have if not for being slaves. |

Perhaps you should review the new standards they just approved:
