Remember when Ron DeSantis<\/strong>\u2019s board of education announced last month that new state standards would require schools to teach students that there were some benefits to being enslaved<\/a>? And the Florida governor was blasted for it, not only by the \u201cThe Left,\u201d but by fellow Republicans<\/a> too? Because the idea of forcing teachers to tell kids that there were some silver linings to being human property is, to quote former GOP congressman Will Hurd,<\/strong> \u201cinsane<\/a>\u201d?<\/p>\n You might have thought that, given the bipartisan blowback, DeSantis would not be eager to keep this particular story in the news. But surprise! He apparently does, and his plan to keep people talking about it was to troll-invite Kamala Harris,<\/strong> the nation\u2019s first Black vice president, to Florida for an \u201chonest dialogue\u201d about why it isn\u2019t nuts to require school curricula to include a section on slavery not being all bad.<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Incidentally, it should be noted that the individual DeSantis proposed Harris chat with, William Allen,<\/strong> once gave a talk<\/a> at a conference entitled \u201cBlacks? Animals? Homosexuals? What is a Minority?\u201d He was also charged<\/a> with kidnapping a 14-year-old from an indigenous reservation in Arizona; he later apologized but insisted he would \u201cnot assume responsibility\u201d for what had happened.<\/p>\n Anyway, Harris will not be traveling to Florida to speak with him or anyone else about the silver linings of slavery.<\/p>\nTwitter content<\/h4>\n
