Vice President Harris Makes Historic Visit to Florida, Criticizes State’s Educational Standards for Teaching Black History

Vice President Kamala Harris made history on Friday as the first Black person to hold the position, and used the opportunity to criticize the Florida Board of Education's new standards for teaching Black history in schools. Harris called the standards an effort by extremist leaders to spread propaganda, and criticized Governor Ron DeSantis for his administration's controversial educational standards. Her visit to the state was a last-minute trip and a powerful reminder of the importance of teaching accurate history in schools.
