evidence: According to a June 7 guest column, the Florida Department of Education has updated standards that teach "lies" about slavery. It was stated that the department has "reaffirmed" that some enslaved people learned something that could help them when they became free. It would be nice to know just how our state government will teach this concept. Is there a middle-school class on the benefits of slavery? Is there a whole book? [...] It should be simple enough to show how our state’s education system puts forward the theory that former slaves benefited from slavery, without broad generalizations.
