DeSantis Supports Florida's New School Curriculum That Calls Slavery a 'Benefit' for Black Americans (msn.com)
Over the past couple of years, Florida, led by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, has passed several controversial pieces of legislation. The most recent was approved on May 29, 2024, which states that Florida's public schools will now teach a curriculum that claims Black Americans actually benefited from slavery.
On May 29, 2024, the Florida Board of Education announced that it had "elevated Florida's nation-leading resiliency standards." These new "standards" included several provisions, such as teaching the effects of social media, personal health, and substance abuse. But it also changed the language that will be used to teach students about slavery.
The National Education Association reported that Florida's new curriculum say that African Americans benefited from slavery.
