Tim Scott (R-SC) has intensified his criticism\u2064 of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Scott argues that DeSantis shares the same\u2063 views as\u200b Vice President \u2062Kamala \u2063Harris regarding the black history curriculum taught in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Harris made a last-minute trip to Florida \u200dand seized on a single\u200d sentence from the 216-page\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fldoe.org\/core\/fileparse.php\/20653\/urlt\/6-4.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">curriculum<\/a>. The sentence clarified\u200c that enslaved individuals developed\u200d skills during slavery that they later used for their personal benefit. Harris used this line to claim that Florida \u2062middle school students would be taught that <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.\">enslaved people benefited<\/a> from slavery.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Fox News, Scott emphasized that\u2063 both DeSantis and \u200cHarris had approved the same curriculum. He suggested removing the controversial sentence, stating that defending any aspect\u2062 of an industry \u2063that deprived African\u2062 Americans of their freedom is\u200d morally wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Scott continued, passionately expressing his belief that there were no redeeming qualities \u200cin slavery. He argued that discussing slavery in any positive light\u2063 in\u2064 2023 is a step in \u2062the wrong direction for the nation.\u200c Slavery, he \u2062asserted, was an immoral and unethical industry that devastated black families, mutilated black individuals, and subjected black women\u2064 to rape.<\/p>\n<h3>Similarities\u200c in the College Board&#8217;s Course Framework<\/h3>\n<p>The \u2062College Board&#8217;s course framework for AP African American Studies \u2062for\u200b 2023-2024 includes a similar item. The \u200ccurriculum acknowledges \u200bthat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-scott-doubles-down-on-claims-about-florida-curriculum-desantis-and-harris-both-signed-off-on-it\/\" title=\"Tim Scott reaffirms claims about Florida curriculum: DeSantis and Harris both approved it.\">enslaved individuals learned \u2062specialized trades<\/a> and worked in various professions, such as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians, and healers. Once freed, African Americans \u2063utilized \u2062these skills to support\u2062 themselves\u2063 and others.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&#8217; remarks faced \u2063criticism\u2062 from \u2064a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-black-academic-who-co-created-floridas-african-american-history-curriculum-shreds-democrat-lies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prominent black academic<\/a> who played a role in developing the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, some Republicans,\u2064 including Scott and several black U.S. \u200dlawmakers who have \u200dendorsed former President \u2062Donald Trump, echoed \u200dHarris&#8217; statements last month to criticize DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>Scott emphasized the devastating nature of slavery, highlighting its impact on families and the physical and emotional\u200b harm inflicted on individuals. He \u200bcalled on all individuals, especially those\u200b running for president, to acknowledge the true nature of slavery.<\/p>\n<p>In response, DeSantis defended his state, accusing D.C.
