Kamala Harris Lies About Slavery in Florida School Curriculum
“This is a brazen lie. It’s an astonishing lie. It’s an evil lie.”
Democrats and the media are constantly warning about misinformation and disinformation but rarely get called out for their own.
From National Review:
Kamala Harris Is Brazenly Lying about Florida’s Slavery Curriculum
NBC reports that Kamala Harris intends to visit Florida today to criticize its new school curriculum:
In remarks Thursday, Harris blasted efforts in some states to ban books and “push forward revisionist history.”
“Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery,” she said at a convention for the traditionally Black sorority Delta Sigma Theta Inc. “They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.”This is a brazen lie. It’s an astonishing lie. It’s an evil lie. It is so untrue — so deliberately and cynically misleading — that, in a sensible political culture, Harris would be obligated to issue an apology. Instead, NBC confirms that she will repeat the lie today during a speech in Jacksonville.
I have been trying to work out how best to illustrate the sheer scale of Harris’s falsehood, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to achieve it is to list in one place all the relevant parts of the course about which she is complaining. So, below, I have copied and pasted every single reference to slavery, slaves, abolitionism, civil rights, and African Americans that is in the document. For those interested, the full curriculum (along with the curriculum for the teaching of the Holocaust) is here.
The list is extremely long. That’s because, pace Harris, there’s a lot in there. If you are able to read it and conclude that the single reference to slaves developing skills (which I’ve bolded) is indicative of the narrative direction of the course, rather than a tiny (and correct) part of it, then you are beyond saving and you deserve to live your life as an ignoramus.

I take it this is what the ign’t hussy is all in a tether over,
“Benchmark Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
This is true though If memory serves the skills developed were mostly used for the benefit of slave holders and any personal benefit had to be at the owner’s allowance. For example I think in most cases if an owner loaned out a slave because he was skilled at a certain trade and wages were paid it was up to the owner whether the slave was given a portion. This certainly does not mean slavery was beneficial but that developing a skill could be (not would be) used for a slaves own personal advantage.
I disagree. I don’t think Kammy’s lying. I think she really is that stupid.
Word salad… now with a side of Whopper™!
One heartbeat away, ladies and gentlemen.
One impeachment or resignation away.
“This is a brazen lie. It’s an astonishing lie. It’s an evil lie.” But it will undoubtedly work, and that’s all the democrats care about.
Google “Slavery in Florida School Curriculum”. The evil media are all over this.
Sadly, I don’t see where Fuzzy has “copied and pasted every single reference to slavery, slaves, abolitionism, civil rights, and African Americans that is in the document.”
Reading State sanctioned news gives the impression that Florida is pushing a pro-slavery history curriculum. Which is probably why you won’t read this part of the standards mentioned,
“Compare the living conditions of slaves in British North American colonies, the Caribbean, Central America and South America, including infant mortality rates”

Benchmark Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Instruction includes the harsh conditions and their consequences on British American plantations (e.g., undernourishment, climate conditions, infant and child mortality rates of the enslaved
vs. the free).
Clarification 2: Instruction includes the harsh conditions in the Caribbean plantations (i.e., poor nutrition, rigorous labor, disease).
Clarification 3: Instruction includes how slavery was sustained in the Caribbean, Dutch Guiana and Brazil despite overwhelming death rates”
I may be dense but I fail to see how the above puts a positive spin on slavery.
Me? Huh?
