The reason that people are suspicious is that it comes from Ron DeSantis’ department of education. DeSantis battled AP African-American history and supports book bans. The benefits could be weaponized because it is nonsense. I will point out again that when asked to provide names of those who benefited, the department of education broadcast its ignorance.

DeSantis put Christopher Rufo on a college board. One of the people put on his advisory board for the curriculum gave a sermon thanking God for slavery. Another supposed Black historian said Frederick Douglass learned to read in slavery. His Massa stopped Douglass from learning letters. His Mistress became angry at Douglass because her husband was angry with her. I’m supposed to trust these idiots to enforce an accurate curriculum?

Edit to add:

I read the PDF

Just words on paper when it comes to DeSantis

I’m disgusted by his treatment of Black Republicans

You are going to believe what you choose, no matter what the facts.

We will see what happens when school starts. When the curriculum is put into action we hopefully learn the facts. I am honest about my distrust of a DeSantis sanctioned education program.

That will be interesting to see what happens when students push back. Wouldn't come as any surprise if they are suspended or expelled.

This is amazing. Previous actions regarding education by DeSantis should raise red flags, but they seem oblivious

I should be a better person, but Im looking at Florida’s department of education in the context of the department of education in Oklahoma. Im also looking at the Republicans in Ohio trying to hinder a vote on the issue of abortion.

There is also Trump being in the lead despite his multiple indictments. We are in dire circumstances.
