Florida to Teach Schools that Slavery Had Benefits

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Education have agreed to teach public school children that slavery was more beneficial than it was bad.

The shift is part of a new African American history standard revealed on Wednesday, in which schools would teach students that slavery assisted certain Black individuals in learning critical skills. The decision was blasted by the state teachers’ union as “a step backward.”

Florida’s new standards

The Florida Department of Education published a report on the 2023 social studies standards that explains how slaves developed abilities that might be utilized for personal advantage. The new standards also educate about how African-Americans were the perpetrators of racial injustices.

“Instruction includes acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans but is not limited to 1906 Atlanta Race Riot, 1919 Washington, DC, Race Riot, 1920 Ocoee Massacre, 1921 Tulsa Massacre and the 1923 Rosewood Massacre,” the language said.
