In a fiery speech, Vice President Kamala Harris criticizes Florida’s new education guidelines, accusing “so-called leaders” of promoting “revisionist history” about slavery. The approved standards include teachings on how slaves developed skills for personal benefit, drawing criticism from civil rights advocates. Harris warns of a “national agenda” to whitewash Black history and urges educators not to teach “lies.” The contentious issue, part of the state’s ongoing debate, reflects culture wars surrounding freedom of speech. Governor Ron DeSantis responds, rejecting Harris’ claims and emphasizing Florida’s stance against “woke ideology.”

To suggest that enslaved people somehow benefited from slavery is not only misleading, it is false. This is revisionist history. pic.twitter.com/2j0sPWP5O8
