New Florida standards teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught useful skills

(This was later repealed IIRC, but not before first being approved.)

Florida’s public schools will now teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them useful skills, part of new African American history standards approved Wednesday that were blasted by a state teachers' union as a “step backward.”

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.

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

To be fair slavery never really went away on the United States.

It's just dressed up a little differently.

[-] didnt1able@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

"Okay we won't make black people slaves anymore, only criminals will be slaves"

"Black people are criminals"

It really is that cut and dry down there isn't it. Pretty fucking wild.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Prison garb, etc..?

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 143 points 1 day ago

It’s almost funny how this is just textbook fascism

[-] SkyeStarfall 16 points 1 day ago

Frankly, out of everything, I'm amazed at just how textbook it fucking is. It's incredible. You'd think that it would be more subtle, more covert, maybe even slightly different so that people won't suspect a thing, or hell, maybe even due to them already knowing that this is how it went in history and what the end result was

But no. It's literally fucking, act for act, the exact same shit. I can hardly believe it. It's so... I don't even know what the appropriate word for it is

It really is something

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I feel this comment. Also:

its almost funny fascism

(well it's 89 now)

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

It'd be funny if it weren't so fucking terrifying

Ah museums, typically the place where you learn about Future.

Why can't the army use steam? Steam is so powerful. Computers aren't powerful. Everybody's talking about steam.

[-] banause@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

See when we had steam. The best steam. You would ask: “Where did it go?" That's what they ask. Where is my beautiful steam? Even Obama said it. It was not on the news.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 day ago

This is your friendly reminder of the original meaning of "woke", which the fascists are trying to erase because it directly threatens the willful ignorance they depend on:

Woke: aware of systemic discrimination and abuse, particularly but not exclusively racism.

That's it. That's the basic requirement for being an informed citizen that they want to erase to make it easier to get everyone to conform to their fascist groupthink.

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I thought "stay woke" meant to pay attention originally. As in wake up and see how we're being divided.

[-] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

"wake up Sheeple"

Wait....

Yeah right!!! Why are they not talking about the future!!

Definition of a museum:

museum is an institution dedicated to displaying or preserving culturally or scientifically significant objects.

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Well you could argue that he's been adding to a future segment of the USA's dark history

[-] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 85 points 1 day ago

The Smithsonian features a ton of examples of success. The Air and Space Museum in particular is a monument to American achievement.

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 30 points 1 day ago

100%

I meant to comment that it's very clear he's either never been to any of the museums or literally walked through without looking around himself a single time. (And I have this same comment about museums generally, IME, aside from things like the Holocaust Museum (obv).)

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Walked through..? No. If they allow golf carts there’s a chance he’s sped through, mowing down toddlers right and left, yelling about how slavery was great.

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

But they do it has a different name, though Mobility scooter

[-] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 78 points 1 day ago

Yes, it's the museums' fault the US's history comes off so poorly.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

There’s not enough future stuff in these goddamned history museums!! (Said the man who defunded most of NASA)

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago

Out of curiosity, what is the counter-argument for "slavery was bad," Mr. President?

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 55 points 1 day ago

Don't worry, Republicans got you covered on that already! It was the life skills!

Mother of god.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

But it makes me feel bad to think about and it was soooooo long ago

[-] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

#"how bad slavery was"

#DO NOT LET THIS PASS!!! THIS CUNT IS THE REINCARNATION OF A SOUTHERN SLAVE TRADER!

Mario's brother we need you more than ever.

[-] resetbypeer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Like Hitler did great job on building modern highways. One may just conveniently forget 70-85 million lives got wiped out.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

The German highways were planned to be built anyway, Hitler coopted the plans for propaganda reasons, also to prepare for war and reduce unemployment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsautobahn

[-] LadyMeow 50 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

‘How bad slavery was’. Sir…. Do you take umbrage with saying slavery was an awful evil thing? What the fuck world are we iiiiinnnnnnnnn.

Lmao not to mention we have the ‘HOTTEST’ country. Ah, so you do believe in science and global warming.

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I think he means like Ivanka...like he wants to fuck us!

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Well it certainly feels like we're getting fucked.

[-] LadyMeow 7 points 1 day ago

Ew gross. He is so not my type.

[-] ajoebyanyothername@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

The whole consent aspect doesn't seem to matter to him.

Damn that's crazy, where are the Epstein files?

Oh, so we’re at that step.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago

BTW, he definitely did not write this one himself.

I can almost see how his PR drones developed over time, they are now trying to integrate some of his "STYLE" into their ~~tweets~~ ~~truths~~ lies.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

how bad slavery was

Yeah...

Dear black republicans, they will get you working the fields again given the chance.

Fascists know no loyalty.

We really need people to go and document the exhibits now so that we'll be able to put back everything he has changed.

Two words from history... "Entartete Kunst"

[-] PDFuego@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I know Musk deleted the woke mind virus a while back and it apparently didn't stick, but now Trump is saying museums are the last remaining segment of woke (whatever that means). That's it, you assholes don't get to say it any more, wokeness has been beaten again. You have to stop calling things woke now.
