Voters who only read headlines might think Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is teaching children that slavery was a good thing, but there are lies, damn lies, and Democratic media talking points.

    This spin on forced bondage and labor from birth to death is incredibly disingenuous. They did not “perform various duties and trades”, they were “whipped and beaten into submission until they did the forced menial labor 12+ hours a day, hunted down if they attempted to escape, kept alive with minimal food and drink from the day they were born to the day they died, and seperated from their families and sold around like animals”

      Are you talking about the kids being trafficked across the southern border?

      Because you know Kamala is the border czar. You would think she would put a stop to it, but then again she does descend from a family of slave traders.

        We were talking about Florida education standards and the history of slavery in the US I thought, but apparently you’re not anymore. Did you have an actual response to the context of my comment? I’m not really interested in bad faith arguments.

          I thought we were talking about the horrors of slavery, but it seems you only care about what happened a long time ago in Florida (which you can do nothing about now) and not the child sex slaves actively being trafficked across the border today. Kamala is the Border Czar and has fine nothing to protect these child sex slaves.
