This helps explain how Florida Department of Education arrived at this! You will not believe it!
A typical ignorant of US History response from Vivek G Ramaswamy
“Blacksmiths Benefited by Training”
“The standards specifically outline instruction on “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Far-right political commentators like Fox News’ Jesse Watters tried to defend the Florida governor and education officials from criticism.
“No one is arguing slaves benefited from slavery,” said Watters, who has been tapped to replace Tucker Carlson upon his exit from Fox News.
“No one is saying that. It’s not true. They are teaching how Black people develop skills during slavery in some instances that can be applied for their own personal benefit.”
Florida State Rep. Fentrice Driskell called DeSantis’s remarks a continuation of his “assault on Black history,” the Washington Post reported.
“Let’s really dissect what he’s saying here,” said Driskell, who last year became the first Black woman to become the Florida House Democratic Leader.
“He’s saying that to be ripped away from your homelands and brought to another country against your will, or to be born into the atrocity of the dehumanizing institution that was slavery, that those horrors are some way somehow outweighed by the benefit that you get a trade. Are you kidding me?””
Dear Ron Desantis, Florida Department of Education and Jesse Watters, a slave in 1776 had several things in common with a slave in 1856. Wife could be sold. Children could be sold. Wife or daughters could be raped. Instead of a raise for great work, beatings for poor work performance. No 8 hour work day or 40 work week.

“The standards also include the instruction of “violence” perpetrated by African Americans, the kidnapping of Europeans and selling them into slavery in Muslim countries and how slavery of indigenous people was utilized in the Americas before European colonialization.”

Ron Desantis, Florida Department of Education and Jesse Watters, learn about Gordon
“In 1863, a slave known only as Gordon escaped from a Louisiana plantation where he was nearly whipped to death. His story was quickly published — along with a gruesome photo of his injuries.””In 1863, a slave known only as Gordon escaped from a Louisiana plantation where he was nearly whipped to death.
