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?

Firstly would you feel okay if these sections also existed:

- "instruction includes how 9/11 caused there to be more space in New York City, which in some cases allowed new buildings to be built."

- "instruction includes how the Holocaust caused Jewish scientists to flee Germany, which in some cases gave benefits to other nations."

There's a history of trying to make slavery seem like it was actually a benefit to black people; in an attempt to downplay evil. "We took them from living in huts to living in cities"

Trying to justify some of the most horrific events in history is evil. Florida has taken a notable step to codify that evil in their education system.
