2024 presidential candidates are condemning Florida's new teaching standards regarding slavery, breaking apart Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who has not outright denounced the controversial curriculum.
Former Texas Rep. Will Hurd, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy criticized Florida's new standards that discuss the"personal benefits" of slavery. DeSantis has defended the curriculum, saying it will discuss skills black people may have developed while enslaved"in spite of slavery, not because of slavery.
"This is ... part of a back pattern of Ron DeSantis being mean and hateful." pic.twitter.com/5IM7yLB3tj "But this is one more, part of a back pattern of Ron DeSantis being mean and hateful," Hurd continued. Ramaswamy did not go so far as to criticize DeSantis himself, instead choosing to adamantly say that slavery should not be taught as anything other than a dark period in United States history.
