The new curriculum standards requires lessons that say enslaved people “developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Dozens of teachers, students and labor leaders marched to a Miami school district headquarters Wednesday to protest, which have come under intense criticism for what they say about slavery.
Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is seeking the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, has repeatedly defended the new language while insisting that his critics,and two leading Black Republicans in Congress, are intentionally misinterpreting one line of the sweeping curriculum. About 50 protesters who started the 1-mile trek from Booker T. Washington Senior High School in Miami’s historically Black Overtown neighborhood chanted, “What do we want? Truth. When do we want it? Now. What if we don’t get it? Shut it down!”
