The Florida Board of Education approved a new set of standards for how Black history should be taught in the state’s public schools, sparking criticism from education and civil rights advocates who said students should be allowed to learn the “full truth” of American history.

I remember learning about slavery and the Underground Railroad and not much else. Not slave rebellions, not Reconstruction, not lynchings and massacres, nothing about Jim Crow, etc. Maybe vague stuff about MLK and Rosa Parks in high school? Certainly nothing about Tulsa or Osceola.
Growing up in Ohio we learned a ton about slavery because we were one of the biggest “good guy” states in the fight against it. We even had field trips to Underground Railroad Museums.
Which makes the number of confederate flags in the state all the more infuriating
But yeah Nat Turner showed up in like a sentence in the John brown paragraph.
Oh there are a shit ton in Indiana too. So aggravating.
Ugh, Indiana, where the Klan resurrected itself.
