Hilarious Plot Twist in the Florida Education Slavery Controversy Leaves Egg on Kamala Harris' Face

 

 

FTA:

 

 

Regardless, the accusation of promoting slavery in a positive light centers around a single line in over 200 pages of curriculum detailing the horrors of slavery. It reads as follows.

Quote

 

 

Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some cases, could be applied for their personal benefit.

 

 

It wasn’t long before Kamala Harris pounced, and that included a taxpayer-funded trip down to Jacksonville, FL. The vice president presented herself as a freedom fighter, rolling into the state to save the day from nefarious pro-slavery fascists.

 

Lost amidst all the manufactured outrage was the fact that Ron DeSantis did not write the education standards. Rather, a majority-black independent commission wrote them. Dr. William B. Allen, a member of the commission, spoke publicly in defense of the curriculum.

Slavery with Benefits . . . Seriously?

Colleen A. Sheehan

 

The current fracas over the new Florida African American History standards is about how slavery is taught. The particular passage at issue concerns instruction about “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”   

 

Vice President Kamala Harris claims that in Florida “middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.” In response, a member of the History Standards Workgroup and former Chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, Dr. William B. Allen, says that the intent of this passage is “to show that some slaves developed highly specialized trades”—such as those of “blacksmiths, shoe makers, shipping and industry workers, tailors and teachers”—from which they, their families and descendants, and their society, benefited.  

 

The “attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resilience during a difficult time in American history.”

Are the new standards an attempt “to replace history with lies,” as Harris claims?

 

{snip}

 

So, where does the truth lie in this dispute? And why has it triggered such a national and rather nasty political firestorm?

To understand this controversy and do justice to what is involved and what is at stake, there are three questions that must be addressed:

1. What does the passage in question mean?
2. Is the passage true?
3. Should the passage have been written differently, and if so, why and how?

The question of what the passage means is answered by basic grammar and logic. Unfortunately for Harris, her accusation doesn’t have a leg to stand on; it is a classic case of the “false cause” fallacy at work. This is a sleight of hand in which condition is substituted for cause. The Florida standards do not say that slavery caused slaves to benefit; the passage asks how, in some cases, those in the condition of slavery took it upon themselves to use their skills to advance themselves. Harris’s claim is also a non sequitur. If it were written as a syllogism, it would look something like this:

 

Major Premise: People often benefit personally from the skills they develop in their work 

Minor Premise: Some slaves worked in trades requiring the development of specialized skills

Conclusion: Slaves benefited from slavery

 

Any schoolgirl can see that this conclusion violates the rules of logic. In fact, to my knowledge, no one involved in this debate has said or thinks that slavery was in any way beneficial to slaves. To accuse anyone of this is sheer malicious nonsense  

 

 

The second and third questions are related and produce four possible answers:

A. Enslaved people didn’t develop any skills in any instance

B. Enslaved people developed skills but did not benefit personally from them in any instance

C. Enslaved people developed skills which, in some instances, they applied for their personal benefit  

D. Enslaved people developed skills which, in some instances, they applied for their personal benefit, but we shouldn’t talk about this

 

A great body of scholarly literature exists demonstrating that some slaves developed not only specialized skills but, in some cases, became highly skilled workers. So A is clearly false. B is clearly false as well, based on ample scholarly evidence demonstrating the fact that a number of enslaved persons utilized their skills, both during slavery and after emancipation, to support themselves and their families. Indeed, some slaves bought their freedom with savings they accumulated from their work.

Accordingly, C must be true. C is essentially a restatement of the passage at issue from the new Florida standards, albeit a bit stronger in that it requires proof of the benefit, not just that there was potential benefit in some cases. The statement by the Vice President, then, is patently false.

 

But was it wrong for the Florida Workgroup to make the statement, even if true? Or if not wrong, should they have worded it differently? Some people are offended by the presence of the word “benefit” in the same sentence as the word “slavery” because, even if the syntax and semantics do not bear it out, one might infer a causal connection between the two. Perhaps it would have helped to add to the sentence a phrase making clear the evils of slavery, modifying the passage to read: “how, despite the oppressive system of slavery, slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” While this characterization of slavery as oppressive and inhumane permeates the Florida African American History standards generally, still, I am willing to grant that this added clarification, though unnecessary, may still have been valuable.

Biden sticking with VP Harris: ‘The perfect choice.’

It’s Getting Serious Now: L.A. Times Kicks Off the Dems’ ‘Dump-Harris’ Movement.

 

The Times’ George Skelton knows that the left, unlike the right, never turns on its own, and that a public acknowledgement of Harris’ manifest incompetence would be damaging not just for her, but for Old Joe himself. After all, the putative commander-in-chief has repeatedly praised her and declared as recently as May that she “hasn’t gotten the credit she deserves.”

* * * * * * * *

 

His plan for doing this involves Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California SSR), who is ninety years old and manages to make Old Joe look as if he’s sharp as a tack. Feinstein, Skelton writes, “is a problem for California because she’s no longer capable of fully representing the nation’s most populous state — a world-class economic power — in the Senate.” And thus the solution to the Democrats’ problems presents itself: “Feinstein could resign from the Senate and Gov. Gavin Newsom could appoint Harris to replace her. Biden then could find a more popular running mate, one more acceptable to voters as a potential successor.”

 

That successor could be, say, Newsom himself, although the left’s fondness for him as a possible future presidential candidate pays insufficient attention to the fact that he has presided over an unprecedented flight of patriots and other sane people from the Golden State.

 

No sooner does Skelton raise the possibility of Harris replacing DiFi and clearing the way for the Democrats’ dream candidate (well, the Dems’ real dream candidate would be a gay trans Marxist person of color, but if they can’t find one of those, then a more ordinary Marxist will have to do) than he dismisses it: “A great idea. But it’ll never happen because it would take all of the president’s persuasive and coercive powers to pull off. And he doesn’t seem the type likely to do that.” Indeed, not only has Feinstein said that she is going to remain in the Senate until her term ends, but Harris is unlikely to give up being a heartbeat away from pretending to be president for another Senate gig.

 

What’s more, it’s essentially out of the question that Old Joe could persuade either of them to take this course, as the man can barely formulate a coherent sentence, much less charm two egomaniacs into being humble.

Harris says she's ready to step into role of president if Biden is unwell: 'May have to take over'

Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview Wednesday that she was ready to fulfill her constitutional duty to assume the presidency should President Biden be unable to govern as questions swirl around his health and age. Biden, who is 80 and is turning 81 in November, continues to be the oldest serving president in U.S. history. Should Democrats win again in 2024, he will be 82 before he is sworn into a potential second term and would be 86 at the end of it. Harris described the idea of possibly stepping into the role of president as "hypothetical" but

Kamala is in trouble.

 

 

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) isn’t high on Kamala Harris as vice president, and her recent remarks might have revealed how most Democrats feel about the other half of the 2024 ticket. The California liberal and former House Speaker even went so far as to insinuate that her true feelings wouldn’t matter, as the office of the VP doesn’t do much. Technically, that is true, as most times, we don’t have to worry about the VP since the president usually can do the job. Biden cannot—and it’s a bit alarming thinking about Harris in charge and control of the nuclear arsenal

"Therefore, the end result of Biden stepping down would be a long, divisive intraparty contest that would quite likely yield a nominee even more unpopular than Biden.

THE SEARCH FOR KAMALA CONTINUES

 

In what has become the greatest “Where’s Waldo?” reboot of all time, the search for missing person Kamala Harris continues. Now the The Atlantic is on the case, with a feature just out entitled “The Kamala Harris Problem.” And what a problem she is:

 

Ease and confidence have not been the prevailing themes of Harris’s vice presidency. Her first year on the job was defined by rhetorical blunders, staff turnover, political missteps, and a poor sense among even her allies of what, exactly, constituted her portfolio. Within months of taking office, President Joe Biden was forced to confront a public perception that Harris didn’t measure up; ultimately, the White House issued a statement insisting that Biden did, in fact, rely on his vice president as a governing partner. But Harris’s reputation has never quite recovered. . .
