Heritage Foundation President Blasts False Claims About Florida’s African American History Curriculum

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts slammed false claims that are being made about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and about the state’s African American history curriculum, saying that the claims have nothing to do with history and are solely about trying to “kneecap” DeSantis.

“The outcry over Florida’s African American History standards is absurd,” Roberts, who has a PhD in American history, said in a statement. “That happens to be my academic field as a historian; I use to write extensively—including curriculum standards—on the topic. So I took some time to review Florida’s. The bottom line: they are excellent.”

The false claims originated late last week when Vice President Kamala Harris took a trip to Jacksonville, Florida, to attack the new curriculum, falsely claiming that “in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.”

Harris seized on one sentence from the 216-page curriculum that clarified how freed slaves used skills they learned and developed during slavery to help themselves later in their lives: “Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

The College Board included a similar item in its course framework for AP African American Studies for 2023-2024. The curriculum identifies as “essential knowledge”: “In addition to agricultural work, enslaved people learned specialized trades and worked as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians, and healers in the North and South. Once free, American Americans used these skills to provide for themselves and others.”

The College Board’s AP college prep classes are available in thousands of schools across the U.S.

“In my experience as a historian of African American history, Florida’s standards actually are a model for other states,” Roberts said. “They are comprehensive in topics covered, do not shy away from difficult topics, and—as history should—use examples of heroic people who fought oppression.”

Oh, by the way, a BLACK FLORIDA EDUCATOR has also told Kamala The Unganda Giant that she's full of shit.

‘Categorically false’: Black member of Florida curriculum group fires back at Kamala Harris’ criticism

A prominent civil rights figure who helped craft Florida’s African American history standards has blasted Vice President Kamala Harris’ assessment of the curriculum as “categorically false.”

Dr. William Allen, former chairman of the US Commission on Civil Rights, says Harris was way off when she claimed in a speech last week that the standards suggested slavery was beneficial to black Americans.

“The only criticism I’ve encountered so far [on the new curriculum] is a single one that was articulated by the vice president, and which was an error,” Allen, who is black, told ABC News in footage touted by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary.

“As I stated in my response to the vice president, it was categorically false. It was never said that slavery was beneficial to Africans,” said Adams, who was on the working group that helped devise the curriculum.

The Florida Department of Education unveiled its revised instruction standards for African America studies last week.

Basically EVERYTHING the Democrat NAZIS have said about Florida (including that grand daughter of a JAMAICAN SLAVE TRADER) is a LIE.
