Ron DeSantis Invites Vice President Kamala Harris to Florida to Discuss Black History Standards<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has extended an invitation to Vice President Kamala Harris to \u2063visit Florida and engage in \u2062a\u200d meaningful discussion about the state&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-attacks-extremists-in-florida-after-desantis-education-fight\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris criticizes Florida extremists amid DeSantis education clash.\">black history standards<\/a>. This\u200d invitation comes in response \u2063to Harris&#8217;s criticism \u2063of the standards, specifically \u200ca line about slavery that she found concerning. The line \u2062suggests that slaves developed skills that could\u2063 benefit them\u200b personally.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u200d argued\u200c that the standards imply that slaves benefited from slavery, while proponents of the curriculum maintain\u200b that the line highlights the resilience of\u200c slaves who managed to acquire skills despite the deplorable \u200cconditions they endured.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Over the past several weeks, the Biden administration has repeatedly disparaged our state and misinformed Americans\u2062 about our education system. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-challenges-kamala-harris-to-discuss-florida-curriculum-after-misinformed-attacks\/\" title=\"DeSantis invites Harris to discuss Florida curriculum amid 'misinformed' criticism.\">state pushed forward nation-leading stand-<\/a>alone African American history standards \u2062\u2014 one of the only states\u2063 in the nation \u200dto require\u2062 this level of learning\u2063 about such an important subject,&#8221; DeSantis wrote in\u200c the letter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One \u200bwould think the White House would applaud such boldness in teaching the unique and important \u2064story of African American history. But you have instead attempted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/21-house-republicans-vote-against-awarding-medals-to-all-police-who-were-at-january-6-riot\/\" title=\"21 House Republicans Vote Against Awarding Medals To All Police Who Were At January 6 Riot\">score cheap political points<\/a> and label Florida\u200b parents &#8216;extremists.&#8217; It&#8217;s past time \u2064to set the record straight,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In his letter, Governor DeSantis expressed his \u200bwillingness to engage in \u2062an open and honest dialogue on the matter. He invited Vice President Harris \u200dto visit \u200dTallahassee, where they could \u2063discuss the black history standards with\u2064 Dr. William\u200b Allen, one of the educators \u2063involved in their creation. DeSantis also suggested that Harris could \u200cinvite Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, to\u2064 join the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am prepared to meet as early\u200d as Wednesday of this week, but of\u2062 course want to be deferential to your busy schedule should you already have a trip to the southern border planned \u2062for that day. Please let me know as soon as possible,&#8221; DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What an example we could set for the\u200b nation \u2014 \u200ba serious conversation \u2064on the substance of an important issue! I hope you&#8217;re feeling up to it,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Harris \u200dis currently scheduled to be in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday to address the \u200c20th Women&#8217;s Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Quadrennial Convention. Last month, she made an impromptu visit to Jacksonville to deliver \u200da speech\u2063 on the black history standards, during which she criticized officials for attempting to gaslight the public.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK \u2064HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
