Florida Approves Black History Standards Decried as "Step Backwards

Hey for unrelated reasons not related to the article linked I just felt like saying that turning on “reader mode” on your web browser of choice gets around many ad blocks and pay walls for lots of articles. I just randomly thought that was a fun fact to share.
 
The updated standards include noting that enslaved people developed skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit,” and that in teaching about mob violence against Black residents instructors should also note “acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans.”

The board passed the new standards unanimously.

Basically all you need to know from the article. About as bad as you’d expect from the FL GOP.

Also gets rid of most ads!

Now if you really want to, Disabling JavaScript will get past even more paywalls on articles and nearly all ads and ad blockers, but will break functionality on many websites. So that’s only worth doing on a per website basis.
 
Benchmark Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.

um, no...this did not benefit the person personally....it benefited their master.

Clarification 5: Instruction includes how slavery among indigenous peoples of the Americas was utilized prior to and after European colonization.

how would they know anything about slavery among indigenous peoples of the Americas BEFORE European colonization?

That’s patently false. Where do you think the newly freed black land owners in the South learned all that farming?

Because it’s documented history.

Um...what benefit is it to someone that is lynched? Someone that was raped, beaten, not paid for years, starved, had their children stolen from them and sold to other people.....do you really think that they could not learn how to cut cotton without being enslaved?

No, it isn't documented history...there is a lot of supposition, but there was only oral history among the tribes and a lot of made up shit by colonizer.

The question was if slaves learned any skills that benefited them. And the answer is obviously and undeniably yes.

It doesn’t say all instances. It says some instances. You’re being deliberately obtuse because you know you’re full of **** on both of your objections.

Just stop while you are ahead...what you are arguing is disgusting....slavery did not benefit them...they could have advanced much further and learned much more if they had never been enslaved.
