Andrea Mitchell Lies, Claiming Ron DeSantis Demands That "Slavery and the Aftermath of Slavery Should Not Be Taught to Florida Schoolchildren"

This is the standard leftwing way of describing opposition to CRT -- they claim you "don't want to mention slavery."

They also claim that opposition to gender ideology and transitioning children without informing parents is just "don't say gay."

Andrea Mitchell continued MSNBC's attacks on Ron DeSantis -- they're attacking him as much or more than Trump, now -- by asking Kamala Harris the very difficult question, why does Ron DeSantis oppose teaching kids about slavery?

Do you think it's racism? Mmm-kay, racism, maybe?

Do you think Ron DeSantis is racist? Mmm-kay, you agree, don't you?

"Let me ask you, what does Governor Ron DeSantis not know about Black history and the Black experience when he says that slavery and the aftermath of slavery should not be taught to Florida schoolchildren?" Mitchell asked Harris.

Wow, what a truly difficult question to pitch to Kamala Harris, who has shown that she falls apart when asked difficult questions.

It's almost as if Andrea Mitchell is a co-conspirator in the Kamala Harris Reputation Rehabilitation Tour.

DeSantis has been under fire from critics for actively working to keep Critical Race Theory and content deemed explicit out of schools. Critics of the governor, particularly in the media, claim that he is effectively banning education on LGBTQ topics and Black history in total -- a criticism also previously tied to what Democrats and the press erroneously referred to as the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

In the MSNBC interview, Mitchell held out as fact that DeSantis flat-out said the teaching of slavery and its aftermath in schools should be forbidden.

DeSantis' press secretary called foul:


"Shameful," DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin tweeted of the claim. "This question from @mitchellreports exemplifies everything wrong with corporate media. They're not accidentally terrible at their jobs--they're maliciously intent on deceiving people. @GovRonDeSantis never said this, and FL has extensive black history requirements."

Griffin brought the receipts with a link to the teaching requirements on the very subject in question directly from the Florida Department of Education.


Bryan Griffin
@BryanDGriffin

Shameful. This question from @mitchellreports exemplifies everything wrong with corporate media.

They're not accidentally terrible at their jobs--they're maliciously intent on deceiving people.

@GovRonDeSantis never said this, and FL has extensive black history requirements.

Here's the Florida standards for social studies, specifically African American history.

African American History

The following is in the required instruction statute, s. 1003.42(2)(f), F.S.

The history of the United States, including the period of discovery, early colonies, the War for Independence, the Civil War, the expansion of the United States to its present boundaries, the world wars, and the civil rights movement to the present. American history shall be viewed as factual, not as constructed, shall be viewed as knowable, teachable, and testable, and shall be defined as the creation of a new nation based largely on the universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence.

The following is in the required instruction statute, s. 1003.42(2)(h), F.S.

The history of African Americans, including:

the history of African peoples before the political conflicts that led to the development of slavery;

the passage to America;

the enslavement experience;

abolition; and

the history and contributions of Americans of the African diaspora to society.

Students shall develop an understanding of the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on individual freedoms, and examine what it means to be a responsible and respectful person, for the purpose of encouraging tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic society and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions.

So slavery and its aftermath are taught.

And discussion of the impact of slavery is encouraged. The only limitation? You're not permitted to "indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view."


Instructional personnel may facilitate discussions and use curricula to address, in an age-appropriate manner, how the individual freedoms of persons have been infringed by slavery, racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination, as well as topics relating to the enactment and enforcement of laws resulting in racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination and how recognition of these freedoms has overturned these unjust laws.

However, classroom instruction and curriculum may not be used to indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view inconsistent with the principles enumerated in subsection (3) or the state academic standards.

But this is anathema to the left -- they want to indoctrinate students, especially minorities, who they Own, they believe, to a particular point of view, but can't just admit "we Own the Minorities and should get to indoctrinate them to Vote Blue No Matter What You Do," so they always claim Republicans "just don't want to teach slavery."


DeSantis' press secretary says that DeSantis will not speak to NBC/MSNBC until Andrea Mitchell confesses error:

nodeasantisforyou.jpg

Andrea Mitchell has only appended a "postscript" to her interview -- and not even a free-standing statement -- in which she says merely that she was "imprecise" in describing DeSantis' position, not baldly wrong, and then explains that no matter what the details, she was right anyway, because "some say" you can only understand slavery through indoctrination or something:

"In my interview last Friday with Vice President Harris, I was imprecise in summarizing Governor DeSantis' position about teaching slavery in schools. Governor DeSantis is not opposed to teaching the fact of slavery in schools, but he has opposed the teaching of an African American studies curriculum as well as the use of some authors and source materials that historians and teachers say makes it all but impossible for students to understand the broader historic and political context behind slavery and its aftermath in the years since."

DeSantis' standards say that slavery is to be taught as well as the residual effects of slavery, so what are you talking about?

What you're talking about is CRT, of course, although you can't say so, because you all maintain it isn't being taught in schools. You want white kids taught that they are wearing an "invisible knapsack of privilege" and that they must acknowledge and denounce their privilege, and that all "marginalized groups" must be given special boosts up to make up for the "invisible privileges" that the White Devil Children have.

That's what you mean.

DeSantis says you can't do that, and you don't want to admit what you're pleading for, so you say "he doesn't want to mention slavery" and also he signed a law that says "don't say gay."

This is a critical issue. Not just CRT and education, but this asymmetrical warfare by the "elite" institutions against us.

They say we're illegitimate. That we are disreputable, dirty, low, beneath contempt, ignorant, unworthy of respect, unworthy of mere tolerance, and, what's the word?, deplorable.

And then we turn around and treat them as if they are worthy of respect and admiration.

This.

Cannot.

Stand.

We can no longer treat them respectfully. We can no longer treat them with dignity.

We can no longer treat them with tolerance.

Tolerance and respect are a two-way street -- and when one side refuses to grant it, the other side must refuse to grant it back.

Otherwise, that side is agreeing that they are unworthy of respect, tolerance, or even basic human decency.

They are implicitly -- near explicitly -- accepting their status as inferiors.

For too long we have accepted this asymmetrical warfare because far too many "conservative" leaders urged it on us. And they urged it on us because they agree with the left -- they agree that we actual conservatives are beneath common dignity.

Enough.

Enough.

Fuck these people and frankly disrespect and discourtesy is a starting point for leveling the playing field.

This is consistent with how the ideological hard-left operates, and it is actually true according to their twisted interpretation of the world.

The academic study of race - at all levels, from postdocs in the social sciences to the way that race is addressed in elementary education - *is* Critical Race Theory. There is no distinction. They are one and the same. If you are not using CRT as a teaching framework, you are not teaching about race. Period. It is impossible to have race as a part of the curriculum without CRT.

74 In a real way, these attacks on DeathSantis for not wanting kids “to hear about slavery” are correct. He does not want kids to hear about slavery — the “slavery” the way the left wants to talk about it. To the left, slavery is nothing more than White Man Bad, without any nuance or context. As soon as you add the context and true history of slavery, you are simply no longer talking about slavery the way the left conceives it.

Metals like uranium, plutonium, etc. are flammable. And some of their compounds, like uranium hydride, practically burn if you look at them crosseyed.

The fun part is knowing how to put the fire out in a glove box facility.

219 HISTORY OF SLAVERY
6800 B.C. The world’s first city-state emerges in Mesopotamia. Land ownership and early stages of technology bring war, in which enemies are captured and forced to work: slavery.
2575 B.C. Temple art celebrates the capture of slaves in battle. Egyptians capture slaves by sending special expeditions up the Nile River.
550 B.C. The city-state of Athens uses as many as 30,000 slaves in its silver mines.
120 A.D. Roman military campaigns capture slaves by the thousands. Some estimate the population of Rome is more than half slave.
500 A.D. Anglo-Saxons enslave the native Britons after invading England.
1000 A.D. Slavery is a normal practice in England’s rural, agricultural economy, as destitute workers place themselves and their families in a form of debt bondage to landowners.
1380 In the aftermath of the Black Plague, Europe’s slave trade thrives in response to a labor shortage. Slaves pour in from all over the continent, the Middle East, and North Africa.
1444 Portuguese traders bring the first large cargo of slaves from West Africa to Europe by sea - establishing the Atlantic slave trade.

The Free States at that time also had slaves but managed to pass those bills. New York State had slaves on individual farms that helped defend the area in the Revolution that were freed by 1820, and Massachusetts had a bill that freed slaves around 1790.

Usually slaves born before the end line were freed at 18 years. Its a difficult problem to end once introduced, as you couldn't dump people without resources out on the street, especially children.

250 The left has cancelled Jefferson, but he DID try to end slavery in his state once it was a state. He helped draft bills for the Virginia state senate to make any black child born on American soil free at birth. That would have gently ended the slave trade within a generation or two, no need for a civil war over slaves in the 1860s. State senate rejected them, but he tried.

But we aren't allowed nuance in history anymore, so let's cancel his butt and topple his statues! Sigh.

Very plausible. Recall the MSM boosted Trump in the primaries since they thought Hillary would have the easiest time beating him. In politics the stalking horse is definitely a thing. That said, you assume Desantis wouldn't sell out to the deep state ( yalie after all, its a legacy). I hold that his long term best interest is teaming up with Trump and we get twelve years not a loss or a short 4 at best. His next eight as a well known incumbent will be independent and free, more so than if he sucks up to the big money now. they will own him forever if he does.

319 Slavery is one of the oldest — if not THE oldest — of all human behavior. It goes back to caveman times. As early as there was battle and conquest, there were slaves. If nothing else, women in those times were little more than slaves.
Posted by: Elric Blade at February 22, 2023 05:18 PM (AT4ao)

i wouldn't go THAT far. Slavery needs social systems complex enough to enforce keeping the slaves in line even when far outnumbering the masters.

Amerindians in the US area only rarely had that if at all. Thus their response to capturing an enemy tribe was to kill most, torture to death others for entertainment, and only those young enough to be assimilated would be adopted in as full members of the tribe.

Note the fact that the alternative to slavery in primitive times wasn't 'freedom' but genocide and torture.

Why on earth would he do that? It's a well-established precedent that you staff your admin with the people who were with you from the start and who you know can be trusted.

so! in an Emily Litella moment here - I think I'm wrong, I think the (much smaller!) pit bull is the one that attacked not the larger normal mutt-type dog on Maria's insta! so dumb - I needed to look at the video closer. you can see Maria crying and a dog clearly not dead - that's NOT the dog that attacked, she was walking TWO dogs. the pit was smaller and at that point you can't see her (she's not dead yet but on the ground).

also it sounds like Maria - who was walking both dogs on short leashes - loved Mia (the pittie) very much but had no experience with Mia attacking like this. I do think the agent should have just bonked her with the butt of the gun, she probably didn't intend so much to kill her with the shot but to not hit anyone/anything else with her shot inadvertently.

so - sorry! I take it back! I still think the agent is weird and didn't HAVE to shoot. I've been in that situation in the city myself and had no gun and had to protect my dogs. it sucks.

The clue that this is so is that slave populations increased. In many slave industries they were worked to death and not allowed families. Janissary soldiers, slave mine workers all vanished with the industry.

by 1870 three quarters of blacks and mullatos had been freed by owners themselves, I understand the issues on both sides - its a huge 'takings' and the question of how to handle a large population with no income or savings isn't trivial.

The gradual emancipation done in most places was in response to similar pressures, and typically broke down in places where the percentage of slaves in the population was not fairly low.

What? Nobody took the guy seriously. It was Kamala who was the anointed one, until it became clear that she can't fog a mirror.

Buttzkrieg had a lot of media buzz. They wouldn't shut up about him. He could call in some chips. He did. They paid.

380 Andrea Mitchell is a mediocre talent at best and now she is nowhere near her best. I recall back in the Persian Gulf War when she asked, " Is it true that the reason we are not using the B1 and instead the B-52 to bomb Iraq, is because the B-1 can't get off of the ground?" To which the officer conducting the briefing told her that the B-52 is being used because it has the payload to carry conventional weapons and we do not intend to nuke Iraq with the B-1.

Most people would have been chagrined by this, but Mitchell isn't smart enough to be chagrined when she is exposed as an idiot.
