DeSantis' furious response to Kamala Harris' lies about Florida curriculum

Ron DeSantis has frequently been criticized by the left for how he chooses to run education in his state, and Kamala Harris’ latest attack is no different.

On July 24, Harris tweeted: “In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.”

Clay Travis spoke to DeSantis about her tweet and asked for his reaction.

“Well, obviously, she’s lying,” DeSantis says without skipping a beat.

“You know that there is going to be corporate press that are going to run with that and try to create a narrative. Now, there’s actually been some that have pushed back because it’s so egregious,” he continues.

DeSantis claims that the history the left wants him to teach is not real history. This is why he decided a couple of years ago to get critical race theory out of Florida school’s curricula.

The Florida governor and presidential hopeful explains that his bill essentially dictates that “you must teach accurate history, you must teach about racial discrimination, you must teach about all aspects of African-American history because we believe in true history.”

He claims that the current curriculum is “very thorough and it is every little aspect of not just slavery but the black experience in America from colonial times, the beginning.”

“The reality is, they’re lying again. They’re creating a narrative,” he adds.
