Liberals missing the point on Florida’s new education standards

I was disgusted by the snarky July 30 editorial from Frank Cerabino of the Palm Beach Post, who was critical of the new standards for teaching Black history in Florida. He implies that the new standards are mainly to keep white kids from feeling uncomfortable about slavery. He also goes on to ridicule one statement in the curriculum that says some slaves may have benefited from slavery. 

First, the new standards were not instituted to help white kids feel better about themselves, but to purge the teaching of Critical Race Theory. From what I understand, this concept is geared to make white kids feel guilty for something they had no part in — enslaving people — and teaches that whites are inherently racist, which does nothing but create more division among people.
