Damn, I knew they were going to obfuscate the history of slavery with a white slant, but I admit I didn't think they'd actually try to paint it as a positive for them with "learned skills".

Like, damn, what's next, slavers taking credit for teaching the slaves how to eat food?

Its not that easy. Asking people to walk away from their career like that is a difficult decision.

However, Florida is like 48th in the country in teacher pay. There is a national teacher shortage, so its not that difficult to find a job in a new state. Relocating though, its tough.

The bottom line is that this is on the voters of florida who side with this garbage.

This reminded me of when I visited Savannah once and we went on a little bus tour. They told us all about how the slaves could be heard singing in the fields while at work and afterwards they got to build churches for themselves. Shit was disgustingly upbeat about how the slaves had it.

To paint themselves in a positive light.

To no surprise to no one though you can't teach about the torture, rape, or murder that slaves endured because "Oh you're just trying to make us look bad and make people think we're bad!"

Yeah but thinking about it more, I wouldn't mind them teaching about slave revolts/uprisings. It will likely have the opposite effect that DeRacist wants.

Give it a few months, there's already been Republicans like that in the past. One of the things that sunk Roy Moore's campaign was saying that during slavery was when the black family was strongest.

I mean, learning the required skills was required to stay alive which can be seen as a personal benefit, but something tells me they want to rewrite history as "We welcomed poor and uneducated Africans. They had to work off their travelling costs and we learned them skills that helped them, and then they were free. But since they were uneducated, they called it 'slavery'. We did it for white people too, it is called indentured servants".

Before the 1830s there were few restrictions on teaching slaves to read and write. After the slave revolt led by Nat Turner in 1831, all slave states except Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee passed laws against teaching slaves to read and write.

They call them "workers" and "migrants."
