Reverse CRT: Florida Upstages Texas In History Class Teaching About Slavery

Can you give the post number. It's not white wasshing. For instance it covers slave ships. That's a brutal subject by itself.

What is your point about Asian American history? One of the people who put it together was chairman of US Civil Rights Commission

 

It's one factual point. It's the only thing being criticized. It won't jade any student's opinion of slavery. Secondly I was responding to someone who said whitewash. So direct that to him.

Europeans being responsible for slavery is very well covered in the curriculum.

Edit: sorry I misunderstood what you were saying about whitewashing

 

Who thinks 12 Years A Slave or Amistad lessens the accountability of slavery? Would you be upset at those stories being taught in history class?

What about teaching that George Washington freed his slaves after his death?

 

It's hard to sit through history while covering slavery. This is African American history, it's not history class, that makes a difference. If it was history class then yeah it would be an attempt to lesson accountability
But I would have been happy to hear regardless but that's neither here nor there

 

It's African American history and slavery is thoroughly covered. It's not an attempt to lessen slavery, it's an attempt to thoroughly cover it, it's a small part, and a smart student won't walk away thinking it applies to a significant amount of slaves.

Edit: I think teaching that slaves learned skills aside from benefiting from them is just more thoroughness. Other victims in history weren't there for work, some were as in the Holocaust. Honestly i didn't understand that Jews were used as slave labor in high school, it doesnt make a difference about my sympathy but it does give me a better understanding. That slaves had trade skill actually pretty informative as most people think of only farming or specifically cotton picking, cooking and cleaning. What's wrong with teaching some slaves had trade skills?

 

When they teach about George Washington's slaves being freed, that's an attempt to lessen accountability. I'm sure if had children they wouldn't have been freed. That point is never taught

 

Unfortunately Harris wasn't clear about it. I won't criticize her for that. Media reports do point it out but I think a lot of people miss it

 

That's sad and an overreach in trying to avoid CRT. It's a different issue

My position on CRT is that it's too complicated for school children, it's a college concept but the some slaves benefiting from learning skills is factual. Obviously Jim Crow Laws are factual.

 

Did you see my post about Amistad and 12 Years A Slave. Do you think teaching about that would be a white wasshing? Again as an African American history course it thoroughly covers slavery imo of the curriculum and that some slaves were skilled is important in in terms of a thorough history. I really don't see how a student coulcome away mistakenly thinking it applied to a significant amount, being able to use those skills in freedom

 

Again it's not regular history class, its African American history they apparently spend a lot of time on slavery. It didn't make sense now thinking they covered all that.

Edit: covering all that in regular history class
