Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) is calling for Florida’s black history standards to be adjusted after a line about skills black people may have learned while enslaved caused an uproar.
Donalds praised the overall standards as"good, robust, [and] accurate" but took issue with the line involving slavery, in a tweet on Wednesday."The new African-American standards in FL are good, robust, & accurate. That being said, the attempt to feature the personal benefits of slavery is wrong & needs to be adjusted. That obviously wasn't the goal & I have faith that FLDOE will correct this," Donalds said.
"Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit," the clarification said. “The accomplishments of black people post-slavery were the accomplishments not just of black Americans but the accomplishments of American principles,” Allen said on Fox News's Jesse Waters Primetime on Monday.
