He just gave an excellent example of why the history of slavery should be taught, he knows nothing about it..
He does more than you
We're not interested
Slavery never happened
The MAGA trolls are out in full force tonight. The 4chan boards must be down.
@@l5475 so did hitler
In 1st grade we were first taught about slavery, the civil rights era and MLK. We all took it very well. There's no reason to hide history from children.
One cannot hide history from children because each family has its history which is often bound up with world history, sometimes only in the USA but often (because America is a country of immigrants) with other countries worldwide so that Irish American children know about the perfidious British and the potato famine, the Russians know about the repressions imposed first by the Tsars, then the communists, the French by their kings and other royalty, Jews by the Nazis (and just about everyone else), Armenians by the Turks (even if they continue to deny it) and so on...oh yes, children do know.
There is also no reason to make it a bigger issue than it needs to be. Unless the agenda is to make people angry and divide the country.
There is a reason, the racists don’t want their children to feel empathy for slaves and particularly with abolitionists as well as black folks in the Civil Rights era and WHITE Civil Rights activists.
The only reason to hide history from children is to try to indoctrinate them before they have the skills and tools to think critically for themselves.
Jeff E:Exactly and if we don't learn from history it will repeat itself!!!!!
It’s a shame this country isn’t mature enough to face it’s own history.
America never apologized for SLAVERY their own HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.
America never paid reparations for their atrocities. The Chinese and Japanese received reparations.
America is and will always be a racist nation. Hitler learned and copied racism from America do your research.
American rich people like Margaret Sanger and Rockefeller and Mellon and Carnegie etc. believed in Eugenics another method of genocide killing off a race of people.
Slavery and Eugenics all was formed here in America by evil people.
Facts.
or that fact that black people SOLD black people
Like the Democrats refusing to embrace their heritage of the KKK and being against the Civil Rights Act? lol
Most countries are the same way.
The comments by De Santis on history show just WHY ALL history needs to be taught. People need to understand what happened and why!
Desabtis is correct though. British were the first society to oppose slavery and did so actively as a global crusade. African tribes were amongst the most vehement resisters of the British crusade to end slavery. Not shocked van jones said something stupid
@@Zone47. and no longer surprise by your answer either, some tribes were especially those that profited but the vast majority were against slavery even before the British colonizing efforts, why don't you go to Africa and study the facts from that place history records!
Totally agree
He's never heard of the british who stopped slavery 30 years before the Americans did and they didn't need a civil war to do it.
Even if he meant to say that no white people had opposed slavery until Americans did, he's still wrong! All kinds of white Frenchmen were writing about the brutality of slavery long before America became an independent country.
And very white English and Scotch from the late 18th Century on.
Yep. Lots of people have fought slavery for thousands of years. Wiki says China banned slavery around 10 AD
What a load of ignorance and lies from DeSantis -
The British were, by the late eighteenth century, the biggest proponents of the abolition of slavery worldwide, having previously been the world's largest slave dealers. William Wilberforce had written in his diary in 1787 that his great purpose in life was to suppress the slave trade.
The Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, tabled the Act Against Slavery in 1793. Passed by the local Legislative Assembly, it was the first legislation to outlaw the slave trade in a part of the British Empire.
The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 provided for the gradual abolition of slavery in most parts of the British Empire.
As did many English.
@charlie king There was an abolitionist movement in England before the American revolution. AND, not that many Americans were questioning the morality of slavery. In 1860, a whole lot of Americans chose to rebel against the United States in order to preserve their legal right to hold slaves.
He said what he said. He didn’t count slaves questioning it , because to him and many others, slaves didn’t count
Isn’t that disgusting? These people have no shame. I’d hate to be their kid & bring home a POC or LGBTQ+. Where is humanity?!
Saudi Arabia kept slavery till 1960s until America forced them to stop it speaking about history. He obviously meant other countries and no brainer that slaves questioning it
Slaves were considered property which is the reason that these folks still have zero regard for POC.
William the Conqueror outlawed the slave trade in England in the late 11th century. The result was there were no slaves in England by the early 12th century. Long after that law was no longer in the books slavery still didn't really return to England in any meaningful way. This even resulted in a case in 1772 (Somerset v Stewart) whereby a slave that ran away from his American master while visiting England was freed by the courts on the basis that "The air of England is too pure for Slaves to breathe" or something like that.
@@ericlanglois3782 DeSantis suffers from a serious case of American exceptionalism. His "nobody" includes only American slave-owners, apparently. Reminds me of Trump's "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated".
Great point Van. “You know who questioned slavery, the enslaved people, the whole time”.
There are two different things: Questioning slavery as an institution and being opposed to being a slave oneself. There are countless examples, in all civilizations, of freed slaves who acquired slaves of their own as soon as they got a chance. In fact there were even civilizations in which people who were still slaves had slaves of their own, while actively working at freeing themselves.
This being sad, I don't believe that DeSantis is right, because there were a few groups such as the Quakers that opposed the institution of slavery prior to the American Revolution, but generally, the second half of the 18th century is around the time when some people started questioning slavery as an institution.
@@j-yjyh8521 yeah I have to cross reference the sacred texts but I really think that the people like Voltaire and Locke who Thomas Jefferson and other "founding fathers" stood upon the egalitarian shoulders of....also criticized the practice of slavery in their own times.
@@j-yjyh8521 The fuck? What are you even talking about?? How would an enslaved person have enslaved people while being enslaved?? You’re gonna need to show proof, I am calling you a liar.
@@adamnorton748 Weird how Jefferson never had trouble fucking his enslaved people, if he held them in such high regard. Do you people read what you write before you post it?
He knows what 200 years ago slaves thought, by sacrificing a chicken and summoning their spirits.

Being Black was not by choice it is my inherited schwag gift, it’s the skin I was born in.
Being a 59-year-old black woman to me means I must bestow astounding plaudits on my African ancestors and preserve the footprints of their heavily laid tracts of tears, sweat, and blood embedded deep into the soil of this country.
For they were dragged to America as purchased commodities to cultivate the land, owned by the rulers of England who had collaborated with the rulers of Spain to import and export goods to their newly stolen land.

Being Black was not by choice it is my inherited schwag gift, it’s the skin I was born in.
That lowly depiction and detracting stigmata on blackness given to me by our oppressor; as he beat me teaching me to hush and stay in my place.
I’ve learned to ascend high above the heights, to wear those bedevil scars and my blackness with pride.
I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year.
Being born Black is a schwag gift where you have no right to choose, unlike those who were given the choice to be or not to be a parent.

Being black was not a choice given to me unlike those who consciously decided to be Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, or Queer.
I am an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year.
Nor is being born black like pledging or swearing an oath when joining a club, political party, or gang.
Nor is being Black a Religion that one chooses to part take in.

Neither was Black History Month constructed for the Native American Indians; the rightful owners of the land.
Neither was Black History Month constructed for those asylum seekers from Mexico, Asia, and Europe who CHOSE to come to America by any means necessary to seek better jobs, housing, and higher education.
I'm an American Black Woman and I'm Proud to be. I celebrate every month of the year.
But as I roister in my celebration of Black History Month, I can’t help but wonder if the last-to-be-hired vine workers' great migration to this land and the adding of these muddle attachments that have nothing to do with being black nor black history to me they are of the devil’s devise!
Devise concorded to detract my ancestors’ tracts (that are full of ambrosia treasures) so that strangers and the last to be hired vine workers may be dripped with my black children, children’s children's fatness from my ancestor harvest.
Well, I rebuke you Devils in the name of Jesus!
No longer will I be your beast of burden!
No longer will you continue to place every crumb-snatching vine worker's burden on my back.
As of today, I lay down those burdens that are not mine to carry.
And I laid down my bellicose sword and quit adjudicated in their honor.
My relentless fighting and marching in the street protesting their causes is over...
As of today I only adjudicate when those who look like me honor and civil rights are being denied.
And I only raised my bellicose sword to protect me and mine!
The others must work for their own harvest; lead protests for their own causes; and fight their own fights.
For God's vouchsafe to me and my ancestors “those strange vine workers and crumbs snatchers shall not reap my harvest and if I steadfast I shall crown my latter year with thy goodness, and my pathways shall be dripped with Thy fatness for my Black Children’s children children's!”
Salam and Amen
I’ll be Lagom… resting in God’s promise.
I'm Black and I'm Proud to be Black. I celebrate being Black every month of the year.

Blah blah, you were sold by your African ancestors who didn’t think twice about you, but who complained when the British stopped it. Read a book…
No one has twisted history so badly since Donnie!
Yes trump is poison❗️
We Americans have done exactly that since we first put quill pen to paper in this land.
@@plymouth491 you seem to be assuming that American scholars speak with one voice. If you read a little bit more you would realize that is definitely not the case.
Ron is a Trump minime.
@@donvitocorleone3603 Ron DeSantis is a fascist martinet that has nearly destroyed Florida.
I grew up in a household where racial bias was a constant diatribe. Fortunately, I heard a different point of view in school. Even as a young child, I felt that bigotry was wrong no matter what my parents said. Children aren't stupid, but when they only hear one viewpoint, they question their own inner voice. If real history isn't taught, history will be repeated, unfortunately.
same
It's almost like history being repeated is the entire point of their BS exercise.
Deathsantis cannot have people more educated than he is, so he banned topics he doesn't like or chose not to educate himself about.
Densantis more radical than Trump
Read the books...don't listen to social media...
Read books from the past.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
@@vitalsigns2679 the difference between living in the past and understanding it is monumental.
It doesn't really repeat, but the verses definitely rhyme !
I want to share a few experiences I've had this year, I hope it helps someone in need.
He said what he said . He didn't count slaves questioning it , because to him and many others , slaves didn't count Shameful DeSantis is not as well spoken as his education would warrant . Tonight : Ron DeSantis just makes stuff up , expects to get away with it because he doesn't allow kids to get taught facts in school
@@last12know30 brilliant
That's not true!!! The slaves did not want to be slaves and the United Kingdom did question slavery before America as well. Do your research.
Children are never too young to be bullied by other children. That is why these conversations should be discussed when they come up instead of pushed under a rug and ignored.
That's the good old American way ,denial , lies , push back in closet !
My two boys - now men - were taught AP American History, which goes into many things that De Santis would like to revise. APUSH already criticizes Civil War myths. But De Santis wouldn't go against that because he'd lose that fight. By the way, De Santis is a graduate of two elite colleges, Yale and Harvard. He knows he is propagandizing this issue, and he knows the real truth. He's as good at it as Goebbels.
He has my vote.
@@berdellfleming5074 I hope that you are joking but I have a feeling that you are spot on!
@@cynibunny Yeah, Ron knows the truth but he wants to be president and he feels that unless he kisses trump supporters butt he can't win!
He is the embodiment of 'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt '.
He's playing to his Floridumbs who agree with him, and I hope that will preclude his appeal beyond Floriduh's borders.
@@whooley8782 There are plenty of like minded republicans across the US going by recent polling.
Thankfully they are outnumbered by non like minded democrats and independents 😅
Students are already walking out of classes and protesting and big numbers. Is going to be a tsunami backlash. Mark my words.
The thing is that DeSantis is NOT a fool, so that makes him even more despicable and dangerous.
He's another racist monster calling people the n-word and not letting them teach about slavery young precious individual children need to be taught about and told the truth about slavery and what's the Confederate flag stand for,you so-called pure white people shouldn't be scared now. I don't understand undercover racist people trying to hide it really shows you how cowardly they are
DeSantis talking about history is proof Florida needs a better education system to teach *actual* history. 😂
Republicans hate education. Educated people don’t vote Republican.
I guess DeMoron has never heard of Spartacus - Third Servile War, also called Gladiator War and Spartacus Revolt, (73-71 bce) slave rebellion against Rome led by the gladiator Spartacus.
They teach meth cooking 101 as their primary class
We rank 47th and each new Republican governor we get continues to tout their record on education which is miserable. They get away with it because people don't value their freedoms and participate in their civic duty, voting.
Yeah ok and youre a biden support lol
Everyone who participated in or were subjected to slavery have always called it into question. Other countries have fought long & hard to break the stigmas & move pass the legacy of slavery. America is still in denial about this & many other social injustices.
The amount of freed slaves who went on to own slaves themselves suggests that you don't know what you're talking about and projecting modern morality on people who didn't have indoor plumbing.
I can't wait to vote DeSantis out! I can't stand to hear him speak. I hope that my fellow Floridians vote blue.
I am. Desantis is a disgrace.
Me too!! Charlie Crist!!! 💙💙
I want ya to have Crist and I want Texas to have Beto and I want Stacy Abrams for my next governor. Election day is my birthday, and all I want is a BIG BLUE TSUNAMI all across the country!
Crist did an ok job last time he was governor, even though he was a republican then. He's still a bit too centrist for me but I'll take him over Desantis the bully and drumpf wannabe any day.
You want to bet DeathSantis is a closeted gay person.
That white guy really managed to ignore the question back to back in the difference between talking about gender and talking about _American history_

@@narsaku1408 strange that it was the deity of the most common religion that surrounds your culture that you had a vision of. did you know that people in india that have religious visions have visions of brahma and vishnu? if you prayed with all your heart, you weren't an atheist, because an atheist would not believe there was anyone there to listen. at most, you probably questioned your faith, as it seems you developed it secondhand as exposure to american evangelical culture rather than direct exposure to doctrine.
but as your story matches up perfectly with EVERY "atheist" conversion, i call your story pure nonsense. and your religion played a MAJOR part of justifying the slave trade. so maybe this isn't the best place to try your evangelizing
i too believe love is the answer, gays and trans deserve that love, and your organization is hateful towards them.
Evangelicals often reference old testimate when people dont behave the way THEY want. The Four Gospels speak of peace, love and forgivness not judging others. Flipping back through the book to, an eye for and eye, is not what the prophet was teaching! "I bring a New Testament." Kind'a importent to read that book alone, without someone telling you what it means! And to read it in all three languages. The interpretations in translations to english gets questionable..if not personal.
I have watched the white guy being interviewed by a white host and having white panelists at the desk and my take was that he looked decidedly uncomfortable showing how he did not think of the esteemed members as being the same as him - anyone else catch that?
In 4th grade we had a member of the school staff enter our classroom for maybe 1 hour and explain her family’s experience with the Japanese confinement in America. That was the first and probably only time I heard about it throughout public school. I found it very enlightening and it opened my world view. But it only happened once and I was not only able to handle it but I believe I greatly benefited from it. To be told children today need to be sheltered from our real history, especially now that they have the internet at their fingertips with access to even more information than I ever did as a child, does not sound right to me.
I bet you've never heard of the Jamestown Massacre of 1622
It's idiotic.
Reality can indeed hurt people's feelings. And it should.
These are the people that complain about critical race theory. Never forget that.
After the Civil War, the cotton industry in the South was decimated. Egypt took control of the market and imported slaves en masse to accommodate demand. And all Americans still bought cheap cotton from slave labor 🙄
History in school is a very important subject. People need to know history
So people don't repeat the bad history

I saw that recently, cut it out and it's on my desk at work.

As an elementary school student, and one of only 5 or 6 black students in my entire school in the 1960s, learning only that my ancestors were enslaved, then freed; followed by the Civil Rights movement left me upset and confused. I thought "there must be more to black history." In high school, at a private lecture I learned about the Royal Dynasties of Africa (In Egypt, Kush and Nubia.) That gave me a totally different feeling about myself. It gave me a sense of self worth and value. DeSantis in his ignorant statement that no one cared is ignoring how all non-white students feel about themselves and events that still effect how we are judged to this day. If we learned more about the value of the various cultures that make up America, children might grow up having more self respect and respect for others who have a different experience in this country due to discrimination.
Yet , in Miami they want everyone to be upset with Cuba because of it so-called treatment of Cubans and want us to know their history.
This is such an important point.
There are forty-plus European countries and Americans with ancestors in each of them. Any family that came to America before WW2 experienced expulsion, a dangerous ocean crossing, rejection, exploitation, adaptation, acceptance, in that order. How many of those stories are you prepared to hear?
And that's just Europe.

I know that. Am so sorry what is being done to your fine profession. But the reality of it is, the Repugs want to completly do away with public schools period! They want private Christian schools, which will further their agenda to the next generation. Such as turning all of us into evangelicals. And to "keep em poor, keep em sick & keep em stupid "!

Again and again, you will hear these right wingers invent strawmen before your very eyes. They INCESSANTLY invent scenarios to be angry about. It’s very revealing.
Ron, in 15th century, we asians questioned slavery here in southeast asia when Spaniards led by Magellan landed in Philippines.
Our tribal leader Lapu-lapu killed Magellan.
We killed the invader in our land.
Not just question slavery.
Let kids read their history.
As a German I can say it's very hard to learn and see what the Generation of your grandparents was able to during WWII, but it was also important tagt you understand what can happen to a society. You learn best from your mistakes.
Your best teacher , is your mistakes .
Thd current republicans are afraid of a changing and increasingly diverse world that they can no longer adapt to. Their response is to try and impose authoritarian control. They are afraid of freedom of thought, freedom of expression and science.
We can all learn a great lesson from times in history when ordinary people, normally good people, are gaslighted into doing horrible things. A research experiment in an American university, Princeton, I think, was very telling. Subjects were told they were actually assistants, and given a device which purportedly gave electric shocks to the "subjects," who were actually the assistants. The subjects were to give electric shocks, increasing in intensity, each time the " subject" answered a question incorrectly, even to the clearly marked levels of dangerous or possibly fatal. Few of the subjects refused to continue, even as the "subjects " screamed. People suck.
'that you understand' but I get it. Germans are much better than Americans in learning from mistakes. You could never have a statue to a Nazi in Germany!!!
Germans were forced to acknowledge what they'd done as a nation. Similar to South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation hearings.
Americans have never been forced to acknowledge the negative aspects of our nation's history.
We get to lie and claim American Exemptionalism.
And like we're seeing, too many in power are passing laws to keep that happening
Imagine being so ashamed of real history that you actually threaten teachers with arrest
They aren't ashamed of the history, they've learned how to use it for power..we are doomed to repeat this lesson over because once was not enough.
don't have to imagine it anymore
I think I missed the part where DeSantis threatened teachers. You’re obviously projecting, fascist.
It's called truth and some people are afraid of it at every corner.
@@kevin6293 Just because a short clip doesn't actually have him mouthing those exact words doesn't mean he isn't doing it. Even I am capable of just checking a few facts around this story, and yes, teachers are threatened - personally as well as professionally - by the new laws. I'm glad I don't teach (or live) in Florida, or even the United States. It's hard enough teaching in a civilised country, without having to toe an extremist religio-political line or face legal action.
The problem is this. People can say they don't want elementary school students to learn America's history on racism. But many African American kids don't get the opportunity to avoid racism simply because they're 8 years old. It's an insult of intelligence and complete lack of empathy for what black kids in America experience. And a hindrance of understanding why they experience, what they experience.
It needs to be taught that slavery is a human institution. White men in Virginia did not invent it.
I lived in Los Angeles in ‘71, where it was a melting pot of cultures in our neighborhood. I was eleven. My best friend was African American, and my crush was Mexican American. We all played together, all over the neighborhood, and we were at each other’s houses. Then we moved to northwest Georgia. For over two years, I couldn’t understand why everyone was “ugly” to each other and fighting. Then I learned about slavery and the Civil War, in the 8th grade. I think it’s a mistake, waiting until middle school, high school or beyond to learn about this. Northwest Georgia in the early 70’s was NOT a melting pot! Maybe if they learned the true history of all America’s people, they would have more understanding and empathy for each other, and not just emulating bullies, over something they think they know about, but do not. Besides, the most compassionate humans are young children, until elders (older children or adults) brainwash/manipulate them.
One more thing: it doesn’t matter what you want/don’t want your children to learn in school, they will learn it, one way or another, and usually the things you don’t want them to learn….they learn from other kids, usually from their elders or tv. I was shocked by the things other kids were telling each other, in my child’s first grade class. Our children don’t live in a bubble. We can’t enforce censorship of the world. But we can teach our kids right and wrong, and empathy, so they have a strong foundation of being a good, caring human being.
Brilliant statement! Wished I'd said it.
Well said. 👏🏽
That’s not what CRT is though. Critical Race theory is the presupposition that race is the central organizing principle in America and remains embedded in American institutions to this day. It isn’t “teaching about slavery”. It is making everything about race. It is essentially “race Marxism”.
This is an example of the alternative facts, fake history, bs Florida wants to teach. Instead of the truth! 😂😂😂
Folks are afraid of hurting a childs feelings but fail to remember children lived through the trauma. Now those children are grown and are silenced from telling the history.
This. Sigh. In the end they fail, and under their own steam. It cannot be hidden. Too much inertia.
My thoughts exactly 😢
I'm from a former British colony and abolitionists in the UK were starting to question slavery from late 1700s. That why we got emancipation way before America and there wasn't a civil war about it lmao. Trust me, the American Revolution wasn't as big of a factor in ending slavery for other colonies. America was quite comfortable with slavery till the mid 1800s especially with the cotton Gin. If it wasn't for the events leading up to the civil war and the war itself, America would have abolish slavery way later. So idk what this man is talking about.
Exactly 💯
This comment shows a lack of knowledge about American history. Slavery in the United States was abolished in several northern colonies early on, the first was Pennsylvania in 1780. Vermont abolished the practice in 1777, however it was independent and not a part of the US until 1791. You make the claim it would have been way later had it not been for the Civil War, that isn't a fact.
@@vladtheinhaler8940 Vlad the 13th Ammendment abolished slavery in the United States. England had abolished slavery many years before that. We were very late in abolishing slavery...compared to most western countries.
@@vladtheinhaler8940 Are you sure about that? Cuz it is true that the northern states did abolished it and it did had abolition movement, I would give u that, however the south was very comfortable with slavery. Do you really think they would have given it up easily? They literally SUCCEED AND WENT TO WAR when there was a chance slavery was gonna be abolished. Lincoln literally didn't had any plan to abolish slavery, he thought it would die out naturally (highly doubt it would have soon) but the fact he expressed abolitionism they were out. Now tell me if those states were willing to go to form their own country and go to war cuz one of the reasons was that the leader said maybe we shouldn't be hitting people to pick cotton but he wasn't actually gonna do much about it, do u think slavery was gonna die out quickly in the South? The north was mainly concerned with the economy when it came to slavery, they didn't need slaves as much. But after the cotton gin it was pretty set that slavery would remain in the South for a while.

Florida scored pretty high in math and reading when they last did these national tests in 2019. They usually track them every two years but I think they skipped last year because of Covid. I think they are doing them this year and I would be willing to bet Florida will score well again given that they didn’t really shut schools down and plenty of other states did. Oregons test scores were just released and apparently it was the worst scores they’ve had in a while.
I remember when I was in 6th grade, I was humiliated by a teacher, so when I went home for lunch l wrote a letter after telling my mother about the incident. She couldn't speak or write English, but she was disturbed by my humiliation, she signed it with her name. When I handed the teacher the letter and read it she grabbed me by the neck and called me a liar and took me to the principles office. She said it was obvious I had written the letter, but the principal said quietly....Many of theses parents are not fluent in English but they care about their children just the same....I've never regretted writing the letter for mother.
What a horrible teacher.

Awww...thanks for sharing that. ❤️ that suport and love makes me want to hug my mother and my child right now. Family is all that matters.

Good for you. I was also shunned by many teachers on different topics, and I am and continue to be proud of myself for sticking up for myself.
You know what is so weird to hear from Desantis, talking about slavery.
Is that he would definitely have been a Slave owner, and would have defended his rights to own slaves with an insane argument.
Desantis is one of the most despicable and horrible human to have ever lived in America.
That's an Italian name. He wouldn't be a slave owner because they would look at him the same way. If anything he would be in indentured servitude. Your name is common sense. Use it

DeSantis, unlike Biden, does not lie. Public schools teach about the civil war and the end of slavery and much more. When did the public school stop teaching the history of slavery and the civil war? My whole family were educated via the public school system and we all learned in great detail about slavery and the civil war.

Excellent point.
Freedom of Speech isn't without limits
TOTALLY!
Freedom of speech is not unlimited. Indeed, in America, it's severely curtailed in practice. Try expressing ideas your boss doesn't care for. You'll find your "freedom of speech" has consequences - in practice.
And in law too. You can't just say whatever you want, wherever and whenever it ple4ase you to.
@@LordOfLight Freedom of Speech is supposed to protect you from government prosecution. Not from ALL consequences of what you say.
I don't really know everything being taught in schools right now, my daughter, who's an adult now had told me it changed so much since I was in school. I remember history being an important part of it. You can't change it by just ignoring or not talking about it!
They're talking more about LGBT, race and leftist political topics than they talk about objective history, mathematics, science, economics and the importance in reading, writing and rhetoric. You're right that's a problem.
I've taught in Illinois, Florida and recently in Georgia. I recently resigned 2 years ago to start my own business. My husband just retired from 20 years in the military. I want to let you know with certainty and clarity that these subjects that the Republican party is claiming everyone is being taught in schools like critical race theory and gender affirming subjects have never been taught at any of the school districts I've work in. I taught 20 years and at multiple grade levels such as 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 9th and retired teaching 12th grade. Teaching is as hard as it is rewarding, schools are being under funded in many communities. I have seen the best in Illinois and the worst in Florida and I know I was good at teaching because my students were never left behind. My old students always came back to visit even though they moved on to higher grades or peaked their little heads through the door to say hi during class chang overs. I still have lots of teacher friends and they are dismayed by the politics that are eroding our educational system needlessly making their jobs way more harder and more complicated because of the blatant misrepresentation of their curriculum. Their already underpaid and overworked yet because they love their kids most stay. I will continue to educate young minds through my work with fact based hypothesis and give them the tools to think critically on their own. I hope that I'm helping to raise a group of wise, kind, empathic, smart human beings that will be ushered into the world and Bloom.

@@zoobrizz Boy you must really be bored in your life??
Reminds me of Thailand, where they think Hitler’s a superhero SMH
In1834, Britain passed the Slavery Abolition Act, which prohibited ownership, purchase and sale of humans as property throughout its colonies.
I think the British might have something to say about WHO outlawed slavery . Edit - Before the American Civil War ,British law had already decreed that any slave who sets foot on British soil is instantly a free man.
Another interesting and telling fact: the American Anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner, was written by a racist slaveowner, Francis Scott Keyes, about battling the British. And one stanza we don't sing emphasizes we're fighting to get out "property" (escaped slaves) back from the British. The British Army promised those slaves freedom if they would fight for them instead of us. Who could blame them in doing that! It turns out that Kaepernich taking a knee during the singing of the anthem, protesting police brutality, was more appropriate than most people realized.
@@glendabarton45barton48 Washington made the same promise, but went back on his word at the end of the war. He continued to own and trade slaves for the rest of his life: he was considered a "humanitarian" as he sold slaves in family groups rather than splitting them up.
On the other hand, when Cornwallis evacuated his troops after Yorktown, he made sure that the escaped slaves were the first away; Carleton did the same at New York, saving over 3000 men and women and children. They were taken to Canada initially, and then later to Sierra Leone, where they built Freetown.
"There is no history but American Exceptionalism Mythos" - DeSantis
(well if he can make crap up, so can I)
I guess Ron never heard about the Quakers and other early abolitionists in the colonies either?
I find it amazing that this guy has attended some of the _best_ schools in the US, and has multiple degrees that should have prepared him for government service, but still knows so little about history, the fight for human rights over the centuries, and the Constitution. Or maybe he *does* know - but assumes his voters do not?

Keeping the sheep uninformed is key to them gaining power.
@charlie king Books about slavery is porn?
Republicans are the party of big brother/ big government.
@charlie king Books full of sex and violence like the Bible?
Someone once said to me that only in the US did people fight and die to end slavery. I pointed out that most developed countries ended slavery around the time the US did, but the reason there wasn’t any fighting was because there weren’t millions of people in those other countries willing to kill and die to keep slaves.
Say it again. Except in Haiti...the enslaved fought to be free and are still paying the price from those that colonized them.
@akplmn WOW---to most of what you said. The origins of the American Civil War lay in the outcome of another war fought 15 years earlier: the Mexican-American War. The question whether slavery could expand into the 700,000 square miles of former Mexican territory acquired by the United States in 1848 polarized Americans and embittered political debate for the next dozen years. This along with taxation and other issues lead to the war. Also, WW11 Was not to save the Jewish people, discounts the Pacific part of the war and also the invasion of Europe and Russia and a lot more going on. Just goes to the fact we need better history lessons.
Another reason is that in other countries slaveowners received monetary compensation for giving up their enslaved people (Biritish colonies).
There was also a period of "apprenticeship," which was really a 'grace period' where former enslaved, who were officially freed, worked without pay as 'apprentices,' giving former slaveowners the time to change to contract laborers. This apprenticeship was basically slavery with a deadline. After that people were recruited from countries like India, Indonesia and China to work in the plantation in the Caribbean in some countries in South America. However the conditions of these contract laborers were similar to slavery.
Slavery had been outlawed in the British Empire nearly half a century before the Civil War.
1) First abolition society in the world: Philadelphia 1775 2) First written constitution outlawing slavery: Vermont 1777. 3) After Vermont, there were movements in Massachusetts and New Hampshire to outlaw slavery which eventually led to getting rid of slavery in other northern states. 4) The early government under the Articles of Confederation outlawed slavery in what was then called the "Northwest Territory". So the abolition movement DID start in various American (independent) states at the time of the Revolution. Please study history.
Bizarre, Great Britain passed an act in 1834 banning slavery……DeSantis needs some history classes.
"What's dangerous is, when you don't let kids talk about the world around them, you give them no prompt and no cues" this hit home. Parents, don't shield your kids from the world, please
Something I would add to your comment is, when you don't allow kids to talk about these things, and you give them no prompt or cue, that silence IS the prompt or cue.
If we know that people like this are trying to get involved in our children's education and make sure that they are not getting the full set of facts. Then we as parents have a responsibility to make sure that we are doing it.
Let them eat from the Tree of Knowledge.
I know of a situation years ago that a child was treated badly by a teacher because he was friends with a black schoolmate. Because we didn't understand the ugliness we didn't realize what was at the root of it. The student suffered for years thinking he had been a bad kid. The black kid suffered too.

@@Vox-Multis he wasn’t. He only cared about preserving the Union. If it included slavery he was fine with that.

Slavery was very popular amongst black people that owned slaves.
It is no more 'sexualized' to talk about a man having a husband than it is to say a woman has a husband - unless you make it about sexuality rather than relationships.
For these folks, the soul is not a belief, it is about body parts, like lego pieces. If you're paying attention, these folks do NOT see relationships as being among equal partners, and their long term plan is slavery for the millions to finance oligarchy. FASICSM: identical to the Russian Empire. They want to obliterate everyone but themselves.
And those good ole christian boys love to make it all about sex, every time. Tells you whose mind is really in the gutter.
The teacher no longer has contact with students but he wasn't fired?
Why wasn't he fired? What's he being paid for?
What use is a teacher that isn't allowed to have contact with students?

@@Bosay831Gaming There is 537 people that could have used my advice.
England banned slavery in 1833. The States abolished it about thirty years later basically on the back of the British Abolitionist movement which was sponsored mainly by Quakers in England and with Prince Albert (Victoria’s husband) as a leader of the movement as well.
DeSantis, and those who push similar narratives, aren't interested in actual history or facts.
There was a court case fought in Scotland in c1770 over Joseph Knight who was a slave brought from Jamaica by his owners to Scotland ( and who tried to keep him a slave). The case was led and won by Henry Dundas ( the London government's agent in Scotland ) thus ending slavery and other forms of serfdom in Scotland. A few years later the US constitution did not mention slavery , or even women at all.
Something makes me doubt your sincerity
England banned slave trade in 1833. But they continued to colonize countries and kept the native citizens of those countries without any rights and treating them inhumanely. Is colonization any better than slavery?
@@meghnac78 And the slaves in those colonies being freed was a problem?
Africans and Indians kept slaves with zero European input. England ended that only to have it re-emerge with decolonisation.

My grandparents allowed me to watch "Roots " the entire series and I admit I became estranged from several of my causcian classmates we reconnected...but it was never the same. I did every book report, paper, or project I could to highlight black people from then on in my educational pursuits!
Speechless on how confident he is in his BS rebuttal.
Let's give a round of applause to Jennings, who did an amazing job of saying absolutely nothing while giving an impersonation of someone answering a question.
What most Republican parents want is for their kids to grow up to be just as IGNORANT and RACIST as they are. It makes for less conflict at family gatherings.
The situation between the teacher and the student was a tough one for Jennings, who I think was restraining himself and trying to respond diplomatically and in a politically correct manner. Inside, I think his blood boils at the thought of someone not respecting the flag (i.e., the pledge of allegiance) because such an action represents disrespecting a country that has continuously respected him, symbolically and literally since his birth, via the demographic group in which he resides.
Funny ,who spoke the most (done by design as in all things bigoted.
1787 - The Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade founded in Britain by Granville Sharp and Thomas Clarkson
1792 - Denmark bans import of slaves to its West Indies colonies, although the law only took effect from 1803.
1807 - Britain passes Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, outlawing British Atlantic slave trade.
- United States passes legislation banning the slave trade, effective from start of 1808.
Jennings is nothing but a damn suck-up
for trumpy boy, and always defends him no matter what. Why he's showing his face here again is beyond me.
As a high school English teacher I taught a lot of novels, stories and poetry from history, civil rights and the Harlem Renaissance. Student engagement was high during these units. Student writing was thoughtful, emotional and solution oriented. I never in all my years had anyone internalize the blame for slavery. Students are separated by time from the barbaric acts of their ancestors. They get that we learn about the past so we do not lose ground with the process we’ve made.
Solutions are obvious. GUNS. You never see a slave wearing a colt on their hip.
The PROBLEM is also obvious. Government violating the Constitution, and making shit up that doesn't exist.
Who knew the KKK democrats were visionary and ahead of their time. Blacks are property because they said so, just like girls are guys because they say so now.
And in the hopes that we can avoid repeating it.
We can expect natural gas heating bills to be more than 50% higher this Christmas than they were last Christmas we are all paying the price for the Democrats and Joe Biden extreme green agenda . Democrats and Joe Biden are doing everything they can to force their dangerous agenda on all of us . Inflation is too high . Americans are already behind on their utility bills . this is the Democrats extreme agenda . Joe Biden and Democrats have pushed for the federal government to increase taxes on natural gas to make it so expensive and nobody will use it. it's time to put a stop to this madness make sure to vote Republican in the next few weeks .
Yeah.........IN HIGH SCHOOL......this entire thing is about elementary school. You're a teacher???? You're an awful student!
We learn history so we don’t repeat our mistakes!
I was taught about WW2 and the horrors of the Holocaust at the age of 8.
This at school by a teacher who lived the war, luckily in Switzerland.
I learned about it from my great aunt and great uncle, who survived the camps. I had asked why they always wore long sleeves, so they showed me the tattoos on their forearms, and told me the tale. That explained why I had no cousins, on one side of my family. My schools didn't cover the story until I was almost an adult, and then in a very cursory fashion.
My German uncle says the holocausts never happened. He was 5 years old when WW2 ended and the family left Germany for North America. So obviously he has first hand information.
@@deborahfreedman333 Hi, same story here ( mom's maiden name is Friedman as well)
Did the teacher also teach the WW2 fighting with the Japanese in the South Pacific??? My father fought in that part of the war.
@@timothyletwin5911 and you are sure what your uncle says is right?
That Florida Governor lacks basic knowledge and understanding.
Ron DeSantis needs to stay relevant until 2024 ,so he is going to keep up these stunts for two years. Hold on to your hats folks. Barnum and Bailey is back in town.
He shouldn’t become president of United States because he is stupid, doesn’t care about Americans and he is greedy. He is liar as well. Joe Biden should be president until 2028.
I'm voting against him

I might add to my previous comment. I went to school in the UK. When I started in 1952/3 the Atlas was mostly coloured red for the British Empire. I lived through the dismantling of that empire and we were taught about the horrors of the slave trade at least by age 12 or 13. Britain's disgusting part was not hidden from us. We learned how Britain bullied its way round the world even going to war with China because they wanted to stop the opium trade.
We need to know about the bad things we have done as well as the good. I am proud of Britain. Proud that it has tried to be gracious in defeat. Proud of our inventiveness back in the 19th century (much of the advances being made by Scots rather than English). Proud of the way working people fought for the right to vote, the right to unionise, proud of our welfare state but also shamed by our arrogance, shamed by the slave trade in which we were such enthusiastic participants. Shamed by our theft of the resources of conquered lands. Of course the rest of Europe was no better and in one or two cases worse but that is no excuse. De Santis and his ilk are fearful that telling the truth about the abomination that was slavery will somehow harm the US. No. Being big enough to admit your faults is a sign of maturity. Some would have the US to revert to behaving like a truculent teenager on the world stage. It belittles you.
Helena Thank you.
Or the lefts mass genocide in the 20th century...94/150 million slaughtered.
The rest of Europe was no better? How is that? Not every European country engaged in colonization. You would be hard pressed to find a country without past sins, this notion that only Europeans were guilty of such atrocities is foolish. Yes, the U.S and much of Europe have a history of atrocities that it should acknowledge, but to act as if those sins are somehow the responsibility of people today is ludicrous.
Briain was instrumental in ending slavery and British men died fighting against it. The men who died were usually fighting against African Kings and leaders who sold their own people into slavery.
I asked my son a question a few days back , I said do you know what happened to all Japanese Americans following the pearl harbor attack?.. he said he didn't know what I was talking about.. it surprising how important parts of american history are left blank!.. so I told him: Virtually all Japanese Americans were forced to leave their homes and property and live in camps for most of the war... he said, my history teacher never mention that!.. surprising!..
THAT IS TAUGHT IN MOST HISTORY CLASSES IN SCHOOL. THE USA WAS AT WAR WITH THE JAPANESE AND DIDN'T WANT THE JAPANESE IN AMERICA TO REBEL.. VERY COMMON INFO IN SCHOOLS. ONCE THE WAR WAS OVER THEY GAVE REPARATIONS TO THE AMERICAN-JAPANESE FOR DOING THAT . BUT IT HAD TO BE DONE AT THE TIME.. MOST SCHOOLS IF NOT ALL TEACH THIS.. HE SAID HIS TEACHER NEVER MENTIONED IT DOES MEAN HE WAS KEEPING IT FROM HIM..
Hate to break it too you but less than 1/2 the kids in this country can barely read and write by the time they graduate from high school.
@@ninadaly7639 That's not the point he's trying to make. The point is a dark period of our history is barely talked about because of embarrassment.
@@Rob774 You need to get out more. It has always been taught, discussed and remembered. Today it’s talked about ad nauseum. Especially lately as the left fringe progressives attribute EVERYTHING to race, even when race has NOTHING to do with it!
@@Rob774 you're both right. Parts are left out, but kids also aren't paying attention and might miss some things.
"No one questioned slavery" ? I'm pretty sure that SLAVES questioned slavery like from the jump! I guess they don't count, right Ronny?
Scott Jennings is really struggling to justify Desantis and his nuttery. I enjoy watching that.
Mr Jennings is so transparent in his biases that he can hardly respond to the question put to him. The governor was said "no one questioned slavery", not children are being serialized.
Another thing, not wanting young children to learn about slavery??? Young black enslaved children LIVED THE EXPERIENCE!!! Did anyone shield them from the horrors of slavery?
It’s never too young to teach children that racism is bad.
Van Jones is a genuinely good man, he did his best to be as constructive as possible in his criticism when he could have rightfully ripped Desantis to shreds.
I agree, but I kinda wish he did because someone seriously need to and people respect Van., so he is the right person to do so.
Desantis is your next president. Put some respect on that man’s name
@@tracyadams3863 no he is not the next President. We don’t need racist liars as president worse than trump. He will NEVER be my President. He didn’t even take care of his wife when she had cancer.
😂
@@tracyadams3863 I don't think so. He has done nothing to earn respect
That offended me when he said nobody questioned slavery. He shouldn’t talk about things he knows nothing about.
I took Indian History in high school. It did show a bit of American Indian's trials and killings, but not to the extent that I now know about. Their children being taken from their parents and making them accept Christian "prisons - schools". It is horrible how many are treated and we never heard about it.

There is so much about America that people want to believe is GREAT!!!
"At some point Republicans decided that making the country like the town in the movie Footloose was a political winner" - 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
At some point Democrats decided to elect a Ped-O-file to be president... "She was 12, I was 30", Joe Biden 😬
Well those towns actually had real life influences.
yet it is biden that attacks you if you take off your mask, and refuse to get a jab.
What should be questioned more often is the decency of American politicians and its constituency
Or lack there of.
"She was 12, I was 30..." Said by Joe Biden, a Democrat elected pedo-file 😬
