One of the nation’s leading Black conservative organizations has condemned Florida’s new education policies, specifically criticizing a provision that says students should be taught that enslaved people learned skills that benefitted them.
“This stance undermines the historical reality of slavery and the unimaginable hardships endured by millions of enslaved individuals,” the Black Conservative Federation said in a statement on Wednesday.
“In reality, slaves were oppressed and denied access to education, equal opportunities, and social mobility,” the statement added.
“They were forced to adapt and survive under extraordinary circumstances, showcasing remarkable resilience and resourcefulness. However, attributing their acquired skills as a benefit is an oversimplification and can obscure the true nature of their experiences. Slaves did not have ‘agency!’ They were forced to do jobs without pay. This is not a benefit by any stretch of the imagination.”
