Florida Schools to Teach Blacks Benefited from Slavery

“Students at Florida public schools will now learn that Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them skills,” the Florida Phoenix reports.

“This change is part of the African American history standards the State Board of Education approved at a Wednesday meeting.”

Tallahassee Democrat: “After more than an hour of public comment, with a majority of speakers opposed, the board voted unanimously to approve the social studies standards for African American history for kindergarten through 12th grades.”
