The Florida Board of Education approved a controversial new curriculum for African American history this week.
A new curriculum for African American history approved by the Florida Board of Education includes a lesson that teaches slavery had “personal benefits.”
Demonstrators protest Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ plan to eliminate Advanced Placement courses on African American studies in high schools on February 15 in Tallahassee.“When you couple these standards, with the environment, the hostility towards daring to talk about certain subjects, it creates an environment where there’s going to be a complete removal of these conversations… in the classroom,” Robinson argued, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Stop WOKE Act” regulates the content of instruction and training in schools and workplaces.Opponents also condemned outdated language — the term “slaves” rather than “enslaved people” — the omission of Florida’s role in the evolution of civil rights and the state’s secession from the federal union in the Civil War.
