DeSantis STRUGGLES To Explain Slavery’s ‘Benefits’
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis engaged in a contentious exchange with a reporter during a campaign stop in Iowa regarding Florida's newly passed controversial school curriculum, which suggests that enslaved people "developed skills" for personal benefit. DeSantis avoided directly answering the question about whether he believed there were beneficial aspects to slavery, instead defending the curriculum and accusing the reporter of misinterpreting it. The curriculum has faced criticism from Vice President Kamala Harris, who accused Florida of "pushing propaganda" on children and emphasizing the atrocities and dehumanization of slavery. DeSantis called Harris a liar and claimed that the provision about skills gained by slaves was in spite of slavery, not because of it. The curriculum changes have also faced opposition from Republicans, advocacy groups, and the country's largest Black conservative organization. As DeSantis campaigns for the GOP presidential primary, his stance on the curriculum has become a topic of contention among his rivals and has been a point of concern for his campaign in Iowa, where strong performance is considered crucial.
