Florida schools will now teach that slavery benefited black and indigenous communities
The Florida Board of Education has approved shocking new standards for African American history, despite overwhelming backlash from the public.
The reasons for never going back to Florida keep stacking up.
What next? Are we going to start teaching that the Holocaust was good for Jews, since they got Israel afterwards? The Trail of Tears was good for indigenous people because think of all that prime reservation land they were just given! The Rape of Nanking was good for China, just look at how strong they are now! Dropping nukes on Japan actually helped them to start creating anime and Godzilla movies!
If a historic tragedy ever befalls your people, just turn that frown upside down and look at everything you've gained from it.
In today's "wtf did I read"
Slavery gave enslaved people skills? Didn’t Afrikans bring skills with them across the Atlantic that slavemasters relied on?
No no no, Africans and Native Americans didn’t even know what agriculture and food were before the White man taught them how to hold a shovel!
The slavery was just like a uhhhhhhh internship! A permanent internship.
Florida is legit one of the most mask-off US states.
During COVID, this was literal!Yeah, it was so beneficial, I am sure these people wouldn't mind replacing slaves. /s
They hate immigrants, but they’ll make sure to put them to good use instead of wasting the resources it would take to send them back.
As a native, they are immigrants.
I had to read the article because I didn't believe the headline. It's worse than the headline. holy fucking shit.
Well, we know that the US is all about human rights, democracy, and egalitarianism; unlike those awful tankies. So this tracks.
But seriously, it's hard enough already to get through to liberals. I'm legit scared to think of what the product of this education is going to be like.
Presumably it’s nothing more than an unfortunate little coincidence that the ideologues promoting this are especially vocal about their anticommunism.
DeSantis is a known ghoul who worked as a lawyer in Guantanamo Bay and fully supported the base, and was a vitriolic supporter of glassing the Middle East. He also founded the Vicitms of Communism foundation.
If anyone is interested in seeing a true to form modern fascist holding high political office. I’d recommend looking into DeSantis.
Fascist Florida, what a hellhole.
Ahistorical cracker nonsense as usual. They have to deny reality for their point to be factual.
