The Florida Department of Education says the new standards don’t teach that slavery was beneficial.

However, one of the benchmarks (SS.68.AA.2.3) states students will be taught, “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Anyone able to think of a good argument for explicitly requiring this? I'm having trouble thinking of why you'd call this out in the standards unless, you know, you are a fan of slavery...

Edit: This was supposed to go here, womp womp

I'm pretty sure you're in the wrong comment section, my friend.

I agree with what you're saying but I think you got bit by the Lemmy bug and posted this to the wrong article.
