Sen. Tim Scott pushed back on Republican rival Ron DeSantis over Florida’s new Black history curriculum, which says middle school students should be taught that enslaved people learned some skills they later used to their benefit.
Florida’s Board of Education approved new standards earlier this month that require instruction for middle school students to include “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” While civil rights and education advocates have slammed the rules as a disservice to students, DeSantis, one of Scott’s GOP presidential rivals, has defended his state’s curriculum.
On Friday, DeSantis responded to Scott, accusing the congressman of accepting a lie “perpetrated by the left.” “Part of the reason our country has struggled is because DC Republicans all too often accept false narratives, accept the lies that are perpetrated by the left. And to, you know, accept the lie that Kamala Harris has been perpetrating, even when that has been debunked, that’s not the way you do it,” DeSantis told reporters in Iowa.
