Well that's a pretty naive take on things, and arguably exactly the sort of position that this curriculum helps guard against.

If this education helps students realize that things can be bad overall even though there are minor, individualized benefits against the overall negative, then that's a net gain of education.

I'm sorry you seem to have missed out on that realization, but let's hope the students down in Florida are educated with a broader perspective on the world than you've come across.

@volkris @mloxton @InkySchwartz @futurebird it is inexcusably RACIST to suggest that a slavery, which systemically raped, tortured, and killed enslaved people was in any way good. Especially the racist canard that they “learned skills” as if Africans were tabula rasa and had no skills that enabled them to build the empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. They were not savages that needed civilizing. I’ve been discussing this with you in good faith that you were merely ignorant, but you have shown time and again you are utterly unwilling to learn and have been arguing in bad faith all along. YOU! ARE! RACIST!!! And I’m muting you because I’m sick of your sealioning. You are no better than the Nazis trying to take over our government.
