Point SS.68.AA.2.3 "Examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation). Benchmark Clarifications: Clarification 1: Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."
I don't think this is that terrible. It's not quite as absurd as "BLACKS BENEFITED FROM SLAVERY!" It seems worth mentioning that the skills developed during servitude may have contributed to their ability to integrate into society post-slavery. I mean, the whole paper is chock full of things that show slavery in a negative light. I don't think there were negative intentions in this. You can count on the news to write a good headline, though.
The development of skills is entirely irrelevant when you think about what skills they would have had if they were never enslaved in the first place
I don’t think this is that terrible.
It a complete vacuum, maybe not. In the context of other stuff Florida has done lately, and just Republicans in general...
I can say that without even checking also. There's virtually no chance whatsoever that Democrat officials were behind it.
It’s not quite as absurd as “BLACKS BENEFITED FROM SLAVERY!”
There's a lot of space between that and where something stops really, really sucking.
Shhh, you’re interrupting the circle-jerk!
