FLORIDA — There has been a lot of discussion about Florida's new educational standards for Black history, leaving many parents confused and questioning what their children will learn this fall — and what they won't. Florida's Board of Education approved a revised Black history curriculum to satisfy legislation signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate who has accused public schools of liberal indoctrination. The new standards include instruction that enslaved people benefited from slavery because they learned skills while in bondage.
