DeSantis’s campaign has been shrouded in controversy after Florida’s newly released education standards require students to be instructed about “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Florida’s Board of Education’s changes to the social studies curriculum were made possible by Florida’s Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act, which DeSantis signed into law last year.
DeSantis spawned more controversy when asked to clarify the standards after he did not take responsibility for the curriculum changes and directed reporters to the state officials who developed them.
“I didn’t do it and I wasn’t involved in it,” DeSantis said of developing the new standards. “But I think what they’re doing is, I think, that they’re probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith, into doing things later in life.”
“They listed everything out. And if you have any questions about it, just ask the Department of Education. You can talk about those folks. But I mean, these were scholars who put that together,” the Florida governor told CNN. “It was not anything that was done politically.”
Speaking on the updated curriculum, Donalds recognized they “did a very good job in covering all aspects of Black history in the United States,” but said the controversial section about slaves “needs some adjustments.”

circling the toilet.
Not ready for prime time.
I’ve been predicting Donalds as Trump’s VP pick for six months. He’s excellent.
He’s done nothing of actual accomplishment.
He has been arrested for two felonies though.
Kneepad whitey.
His campaign may not last as long as Biden’s ‘88 campaign.
If he didn’t have neocon warmonger money, what would he have?
Meatball went from a #1 contender to full 🤡 Clown and all it took was public exposure.
Purport? Brietbart is better than that kind if misleading reporting.
A Mike Gallagher caller from Naples did not have nice things to say about Byron. Called him a Fake. DeSantis camper?
Not surprising. Trump has been supporting WOKE culture for a long time.
Trump wants to give 500 Billion to blacks and make Juneteeth a holiday. Good reward for all that BLM rioting.
‘Trump has been supporting WOKE culture for a long time.’

Trump believes if he goes into extremist-left woke mode in his attacks that it will hurt DeSantis. Trump has no core values, so he will ping pong back & forth depending on his perceived need of the day. Just his M.O..
Core values? Like you Republicans have any core values except selling out for a buck.
“Trump has no core values, so he will ping pong back & forth…”
I totally agree with you. It speaks volumes when Trump is closer to Kamala than DeSantis:
‘Like you Republicans’

Sorry, you’ll have to look elsewhere - I’ve never been a Republican.
DeSantis didn’t “attack” Donalds.
Donalds agreed with the legislation with a minor exception.
Trump, as usual, used this minor point to attack DeSantis rather than the Left.
Donalds would be a good president or Vice President.
Filthy troll
No, I’m correct.
