Dope1: Complete lie. As in 100%, USDA Grade A BS.
Quoting from your link, here is exactly what vice president Harris said:
HARRIS: '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.'
Again, quoting from your link, here is exactly what the Florida middle school curriculum teaches:
Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.
So Harris was telling the truth and the National Review is wrong.
Harris never claimed that every line of every lesson of the new curriculum taught Floridian middle schoolers that enslaved people benefited from slavery.
In fact, Harris was 100% correct.
And why are you conflating my words with the vice president's, implying she said what I glibly wrote in a separate post days ago when I brought Florida's new curriculum to this board's attention?
I even quoted the words exactly in an excerpt from the article: "The Florida State Board of Education's new standards includes controversial language about how 'slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,' according to a 216-page document about the state's 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education."
I guess they didn't teach hyperbole where you went to school.
