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.'

And I'll repeat what Charles C.W. Cooke said, because it negates any mendacious points that were being attempted:

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.
...
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.
