Middle school students in Florida will soon be taught that slavery gave Black people a “personal benefit” because they “developed skills.”
After the Florida Board of Education approved new standards for African American history on Wednesday, high school students will be taught an equally distorted message: that a deadly white mob attack against Black residents of Ocoee, Florida, in 1920 included “acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans.”

To be absolutely clear, this is what all the groups demonizing “CRT” were fighting for. All the "well acshually"ing about how CRT was only a college course, etc etc, completely missed the point of the campaign. They’re not interested in facts. They want to legislate away any claims of racism by making it illegal to talk about facts.
