Perhaps you should review the new standards they just approved:

Check out page six.

'Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be
applied for their personal benefit'

So the controversy is that slaves did not develop skills during their servitude?

No, the controversy is that an attempt is being made to justify, or both-sides slavery.  Slavery was not a job training program.  It was an institution in which the enslaved lost all personal freedom and were subjugated as personal property.  There is no tangible personal benefit to being forced to do a job for someone with no pay and no right to leave. A lot of slave were purchased for the skills that they already possessed.
