Governor DeSantis invited Harris to Tallahassee to discuss the new standards. “In Florida we are unafraid to have an open and honest dialogue about the issues,” DeSantis wrote in the letter to Harris. “And you clearly have no trouble ducking down to Florida on short notice. So given your grave concern (which, I must assume, is sincere) about what you think our standards say, I am officially inviting you back down to Florida to discuss our African American History standards.” The Florida governor had dismissed the vice president’s criticisms of the standards and accused her of crafting a “fake narrative” about the curriculum.
In a speaking engagement of front of all black folks yesterday here in Orlando, Harris responded, saying "I'm here in Florida. And I will tell you, there is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact. There were no redeeming qualities of slavery."
She will not debate the Governor because she can't. It’s just incredible to see her cowardice on display being covered with such a comical facade of self-righteousness. She claims to know what’s in the standards, so much so that she’s gone to Florida twice in less than a month to rail against them, yet she refuses to sit down with a renowned intellectual like Dr. Allen to discuss her supposed concerns. It’s all theater, and everyone knows it. Instead of showing she possesses any semblance of a backbone, Harris chose to once again repeat the lie that Florida’s curriculum states there were “redeeming qualities of slavery.” What she's talking about does not exist in the curriculum she's condemning. She's just a lying, hateful, racist piece of shit.
