Florida Schools Will Teach How Slavery Brought ‘Personal Benefit’ To Black People

“I’ve always thought it was weird that we fixated on the negatives of slavery.”

“I’m sure that getting to acquire those skills is why so few left slavery.”

“This is a good start, but I hope students will eventually also learn that slavery never happened at all.”
