Four Black Democratic members of Congress criticized Florida’s new K-12 history curriculum, calling it racist and inaccurate. They objected to parts that claim slavery benefited slaves and downplay the horrors of slavery by comparing it to serfdom and indentured servitude. The lawmakers demanded the Florida Board of Education reverse its decision, saying the curriculum ignores America’s history of racial exploitation and violence. If not reversed, the curriculum would promote a harmful version of history and disadvantage Florida students, they argued. Vice President Kamala Harris also criticized the Florida standards, further highlighting the national concern over Florida’s curriculum.


Honestly. WTF

    Republicans are running the state into the ground. If they didn’t have the culture war they’d have literally nothing… it’s their only prayer for convincing people to continually vote against their own interests and for Republicans.
