Imagine a world where @SenatorRomney cares as much about our own border as he does Ukraine's.
Senator Mitt Romney@SenatorRomney
It's in our interests that Ukraine is successful in defending itself against Putin's Russia, an adversary of the United States. By supporting Ukraine, we help weaken Russia's military—safeguarding our well-being, livelihoods, and the freedom and prosperity we enjoy in America.

@johnforutah @btat First the notion that slaves developed skill disregards that they possessed skills in Africa. Slavers would intentionally target those who possessed important skills.

@DeeBrown1974 @sltrib missing the point. This isn't about taking guns. It is about responsible gun ownership. Safe storage laws prevent unauthorized access to firearms for children.
English
@OttoRidgway @sltrib Safe storage laws prevent suicide and accidental shootings. What is wrong about regulatiing responsible ownership?

@George_LFC70 @SimGillDA First Africans had a fully fledged societies and culture before slavery. Second, the lesser of 2 evils is used to justify evil acts.
English
@crev99 @debbieksl It asked to attribute the founding principals to ending slavery, but doesn't depict the Constitution as protected the practice of slavery. Instead it says it would allow for action in 1808.
English
@crev99 @debbieksl First it lists a bunch of times that Americans tried to end the slave trade, including the 1st draft of the declaration. We'll it fails to mention that it was removed to ensure slavery could continue. Point out th a the article of confederacy out the the slave trade,
English
@crev99 @debbieksl Also why spend the time to compare different slave systems. The purpose is to demonstrate American slavery as not so bad by comparing it to other nations and we weren't the only ones.
The infant death rates stat us designed ti show that American slaves were getting Healthcare
English
@KiltedMath_T @debbieksl Please quote from it. It should be easy to show the distortion.
Though by now you have to know I already have it. Proceed with the folly.
English
@crev99 @debbieksl I have read it. It is a complete distortion of American slavery.
First, to say slaves learned skills, ignores the fact that these skills were already possessed by Africans before they were captured as slaves.
English
@debbieksl You could try honestly describing the curriculum.
But you've never even read it.
English
@JeffersonShupe @nhannahjones However you will notice the use of "British". The only time America is referenced is in regards to attempts to end slavery. They cherry-pick
a bunch of docs but fail to mention that the Constitution protected the slave trade or that states removed language from the Dec of Ind.
English
@nhannahjones The standards also say this. 👇
I don’t know if these are the best standards (and I do agree that the one about slaves learning skills that were beneficial sounds sketchy even if true.)
It’s the idea that Florida wants to excuse slavery that sounds crazy here.
English
1) This is what happens when people are ashamed of their history. You try to cover up the crime. 2) Has anyone seen this list of experts and scholars that came up with these new clarifications? If so, please post.

WATCH >> Ron DeSantis defends new curriculum that will teach children how slaves *benefited* from slavery. "They're probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith into, into doing things later in life."

So Sen @johnforutah asked if I read the new Florida Social Studies Standards. I did, and I have a lot of questions. I'll only highlight a few that are of interest, either due to current news or my own observations as a History teacher. #uted #utpol 1/many

It was a pleasure to meet with Governor Ron DeSantis yesterday while he was visiting Utah. I am excited to endorse him in his run for President of the United States! 🇺🇸@GovRonDeSantis

@SteveAZWildcat Indentured servitude is a type of slavery. The indentured is the property of the contract holder.
English
@KiltedMath_T That is indentured servants, not slaves. Some of my Irish ancestors were probably indentured servants.
Straight from wikipedia, that fascist right wing site:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indenture…
English
"Teacher, when the slaves were freed, how did they survive?"
"As horrible as slavery was, to be valuable to their slave masters, the slaves had to have developed skills, otherwise their slave masters would kill them.
They used those skill after they were freed."
"Fascist!"

Shame on all of you who stood behind him and did nothing. There is no defense for condoning this. I see you 👀

@KiltedMath_T @SteveAZWildcat One benefit of ADOS is that they are here.
Everyone in Africa wishes to trade places.
ADOS don't realize how fortunate they are.
English
@SteveAZWildcat That is literally exactly what they said. That slaves could benefit from slavery.
Nice deflection. Notice how even DeSantis isn't taking a victory lap instead in quiet on these. Despite this being part of his war on woke.
English
@KiltedMath_T Um, ok. They did. The wording could be better, but it takes a bit of a warped interpretation and bias against conservaties to think the intention was to say that slavery benefited slaves.
English
@KiltedMath_T Nobody is saying slavery benefited slaves! WTF? Not all slaves stayed and share cropped. And if they had no skills they couldn't have survived. This is an absurd conversation.

@VoteTrevorLee Inflation is currently under 3%.ThNk you for attributing Biden for the low Inflation.
