Don Lemon hosted a segment on today's CNN This Morning to discuss Ron DeSantis's decision to uphold the Florida State Department of Education's decision to deny the College Board the opportunity to run a pilot AP (Advanced Placement) course on African American Studies pushing themes like "Intersectionality and Activism."
At one point, CNN's Audie Cornish said "I don't know where he wants to draw the line. Slavery was political at one point."
Responded Lemon:
"So, slavery became illegal. Now it's going to be illegal to teach slavery in schools. It seems really odd."

Dumb and dishonest is now way to go through life, Don.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
“no way,” not “now way.”
If we’re going to teach about slavery in schools, then also teach that it was black Africans who enslaved other black Africans before selling them to Arabs to be sold to white Europeans, and that Arabs and also enslaved white Europeans. But of course we can’t pollute children’s minds with the truth. Only with sexual depravity and racism.
Lying is a requirement on that freakin’ station. I was listening to Mark Levin last week where he played Jake Tapper saying it was legal for Biden as Vice President to declassify classified material. NOT
But Democrats want to practice slavery through unfair taxation, wealth re-distribution schemes and allowing violent rioting by Antifa and BLM to steal from honest citizens.
Guess Lemon didn’t see Bill Maher’s recent segment on the history of slavery.
But, as usual, he’s got a narrative to advance to CNN’s drone kingdom.
When is CNN going to dump this idiot?
Poor Don is a frustrated homosexual that is angry that heterosexual people are against his type of fascism
This is just an attempt to make sure Ron does not get a single black vote
Such a liar
“african american studies” won’t get anybody a job.
He is a slave the the white penis
Where do you think "Chief Diversity Officers" come from?
Lemon is a slave to faggotry
Why teach about something that ended 158 years ago?
If it is not a Marxist comprehension of race and history the Left says you are suppressing the truth.
The Left are liars.
Schools should be aspirational. Nobody wants to be a slave.
You mean the slavery like in Julius Caesar? A French slave and Italian master?
Teach them that Lincoln supported an effort to make slavery permanent in the United States. Lincoln called for the passage of the Corwin Amendment.
Teach them that Union slave states kept slavery all through the Civil War, and did not end it in the North until 8 months after it had stopped in the South.
