NBC reports that Kamala Harris intends to visit Florida today to criticize its new school curriculum:

In remarks Thursday, Harris blasted efforts in some states to ban books and “push forward revisionist history.”

“Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery,” she said at a convention for the traditionally Black sorority Delta Sigma Theta Inc. “They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.”

This is a brazen lie. It’s an astonishing lie. It’s an evil lie. It is so untrue — so deliberately and cynically misleading — that, in a sensible political culture, Harris would be obligated to issue an apology. Instead, NBC confirms that she will repeat the lie today during a speech in Jacksonville.

Cooke picked through the entire curriculum and found nothing but harsh realism about the conditions endured by slaves in the U.S. during the time of slavery. He even included a list so long it can’t be reproduced here.

The single passage that Harris is screaming about as racist, raacist, raaacist, as well as calling ‘gaslighting’ and spewing other lies about is that enslaved people sometimes learned skills which they were later able to use to benefit themselves after liberation and in some instances, before.
