Scott criticizes DeSantis over his support for Florida's slavery curriculum as they stump in Iowa

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott is criticizing fellow Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for supporting standards requiring teachers to instruct middle school students that slaves developed skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit.”

It is concerning we are still arguing over if slavery was wrong in today’s time.

“What slavery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating,” Scott, the sole Black Republican in the Senate, told reporters on Thursday after a town hall in Ankeny. “So I would hope that every person in our country — and certainly running for president — would appreciate that.”

    It’s hilarious and horrifying that “Black person says slavery bad” is like a brave stance he’s taking in this Republican field.

      You’re right, this should be posted on another community. World news has the word “world” for a reason.
