☆ Florida’s New Black History Standards Have Drawn Backlash. Who Wrote Them?
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Sarah Mervosh | More About Sarah Mervosh | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Dr. Wright and six other members who were serving this spring while the standards were being written said they had not been consulted. Few details have been publicly released about how the standards, which lay out concepts that students are expected to learn, were created. Even Mr. DeSantis, who has often embraced his role as a warrior against “woke” ideology in schools, sought to distance himself amid a faltering 2024 presidential campaign. “I wasn’t involved in it,” he told reporters last week. To craft the 216-page document, his Department of Education created a 13-member work group, which drafted the standards from February to May.

☆ Vice President Harris blasts Florida 'extremists' over education guidelines about slavery

July 21 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Florida "extremists" on Friday for backing educational guidelines that taught "revisionist history" about slavery in the United States. Harris, the first Black and Asian-American woman to serve as vice president, flew to Florida, a political swing state whose governor, Ron DeSantis, is running for the Republican presidential nomination, to deliver a blistering speech condemning the new guidelines. The board of education approved the new teaching guidelines for kindergarten through high school on Wednesday. Florida's education commissioner, Manny Diaz Jr., said during the board meeting in Orlando that the guidelines go in to the "tougher subjects" of slavery and racist violence, as appropriate by age. President Joe Biden, with Harris as his vice president, is running for re-election in 2024.

☆ Ron DeSantis makes Biden's 4-year-old granddaughter the punchline of a tweet as he dodges blowback over Florida teaching students that some parts of slavery were a positive thing

Ron DeSantis took a personal shot at Joe Biden's treatment of Hunter Biden's four-year-old daughter. DeSantis' barb comes as Republican politicians increasingly antagonize Biden over Hunter Biden's four-year-old daughter in Arkansas. Roberts told The New York Times that she and Hunter Biden reached a mutual decision about the surname. President Biden has not publicly acknowledged the child, whose name was not listed in the court records. "Florida students deserve to learn how slaves took advantage of whatever circumstances they were in to benefit themselves and the community of African descendants."

☆ Florida introduces new guidelines on teaching Black history, critics give poor grade

July 20 (Reuters) - Florida's board of education has approved new guidelines for teachers on how Black American history should be taught despite sharp criticism from some educators and civil rights groups. The board of education approved the new teaching guidelines for kindergarten through high school on Wednesday. Earlier this year Florida rejected a proposed Advanced Placement course in African American studies, saying it was littered with leftist ideology. DeSantis has battled against Disney over its criticism of a Florida law banning classroom discussion of sexuality and gender.
