Black Republicans and fellow GOP presidential hopefuls continued to slam Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over new standards in Florida for how Black history is taught in Florida schools.
On Sunday, former Republican Rep. Will Hurd , who is also running for the Republican presidential nomination, said “slavery is not a jobs program.”
Hurd said he was surprised DeSantis continued to voice support for the standards, but noted his behavior is “one more part of a back pattern of Ron DeSantis being mean and hateful.”“It’d be hard to make the case, if Ron DeSantis was the Republican nominee, that folks in Black and Brown communities should support him,” Hurd said when asked whether DeSantis has “disqualified himself.
The new Florida standards also drew a rebuke from Vice President Harris, who criticized them during a visit to Florida earlier this month, emphasizing that slavery involved rape, torture and “some of the worst examples of depriving people of humanity in our world.” DeSantis has dismissed Harris’s remarks, accusing her in a statement of lying “about Florida’s educational standards to cover for their agenda of indoctrinating students and pushing sexual topics onto children.
And former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, who is also running for president, told CBS’s “Face the Nation” that, in the 21st century, “we can all agree that there … were no positives that came out of slavery.”“[DeSantis] should come out and say no positives came out of slavery,” she said. “I think that’s what these Republicans and Democrats have asked him to say. We’ll see what he does.”
