Kamala Harris is lying about Florida’s education system by suggesting it is racist in order to attack Governor DeSantis. She even traveled to Florida yesterday to tell her lies in the state.
Charles Cooke over at NRO decided to unpack just how pants on fire these lies are coming from Kamala so he put together a LOOOONG list from Florida’s full curriculum, every time it mentions slavery.
Here’s more from National Review:
NBC reports that Kamala Harris intends to visit Florida today to criticize its new school curriculum:
In remarks Thursday, Harris blasted efforts in some states to ban books and “push forward revisionist history.”
“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.”
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.
I have been trying to work out how best to illustrate the sheer scale of Harris’s falsehood, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to achieve it is to list in one place all the relevant parts of the course about which she is complaining. So, below, I have copied and pasted every single reference to slavery, slaves, abolitionism, civil rights, and African Americans that is in the document. For those interested, the full curriculum (along with the curriculum for the teaching of the Holocaust) is here.
Here’s the list. It’s 191 items strong. It contains the word “slave” 96 times, “slaves” 23 times, and “slavery” 45 times. I’ve pulled each line out in the order in which they appear, which is largely chronological. It starts with “the earliest slaves” and ends with “the integration of the University of Florida”:
I’m not going to publish the entire list because it’s just too long. But I will post a few entries just to give you an idea.
-
Instruction includes what life was like for the earliest slaves and the emancipated in North America.
-
Examine the Underground Railroad and how former slaves partnered with other free people and groups in assisting those escaping from slavery.
-
Examine key figures and events in abolitionist movements.
-
Instruction will include the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
-
Examine the roles and contributions of significant African Americans during westward expansion (e.g., Benjamin “Pap” Singleton, James Beckwourth, Buffalo Soldiers, York [American explorer]).
This is just five entries out of 191 and already you can tell she’s lying her butt off just to bash Florida. You can read the full list over at NRO.
DeSantis also responded yesterday to these lies:
