Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Education are trying to put a positive spin on slavery.
I mean, was it really that bad? (Spoiler alert: yes it was.)
DeSantis and his educational experts found time (amid a full schedule of book-banning and decreeing who can use which bathroom) to rework the state’s African American Studies curriculum so it was a little more chipper.
The revised curriculum points out that, “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Hey, it was just a jobs program, right?
And here we all thought DeSantis was the smart candidate.
