'Politifact, the famously left-leaning 'fact' checking site that erroneously said COVID could not have come from a lab, is back turning fiction into fact again, this time coming to the defense of lies told by Vice President Kamala Harris.' -conncarroll
Here is what Harris said: “Just yesterday, in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.”Here is what the Florida social studies standards actually say:"Examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves ... Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.
So, how does Politifact turn Harris’s blatant fiction into “fact”? By bringing in some “experts” who either haven’t read the Florida standards or don’t believe middle school students should be taught the truth about slavery. The “experts” Politifact talked to apparently think so. Bruce Levine, an emeritus professor of history at the University of Illinois, told Politifact that he “rejected the value of spotlighting skills learned while enslaved.”
First of all, this doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not some slaves had professional skills as the Florida standards claim, but more importantly, Russell-Brown is just wrong. The Florida standards are full of discussions of people who enslaved others.
