    These videos are approved to be shown to children in Florida.

    I am honestly scared for the next generation of children who believe that slavery wasn’t that bad, and whatever other bullshit Prageru preaches

      The divide between those who eat this bullshit and those who were responsibly raised will be fucking wild. Like think about that one dude in your life that hadn’t heard about ‘X’, a thing that’s common knowledge, and how baffling that was but now it’s nonstop bafflement with a certain percentage of population.

        You mean kind of like science deniers like flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers and regular people?

        The divide already happened.

        It’ll be like the “States’ Rights” people, but infinitely worse. Being raised in the south, you’re taught that the civil war was over states’ rights, not slavery. That slavery was just the one that historians tended to latch onto, because it’s the most inflammatory topic and makes the south look bad.

        And if you’re a good student and don’t bother to question that, you’ll enter the adult world believing that the south wasn’t fighting for slavery.

          Was definitely taught that…

          Even given some garbage about how Lincoln only came up with ending slavery late in to keep England out of the conflict… and that he regretted it.

          I mean, the war didn’t start because the North wanted to end slavery in the South…

          It started because the federal government wouldn’t force northern states who had abolished slavery to return escaped slaves to Southern states.

          The part about abolishing slavery nationwide didn’t come up until the war was going on, and that was more an economic sanction than anything else.

          So it really did start because of state rights, it’s just it was the northern states fighting for that and the Southern States wanting a federal government that was willing to force states to do stuff.

      That generation of Floridians is going to be seriously messed up. This could be a real problem (or maybe Florida will be destroyed by the Climate Crisis before it manifests, who knows).

        At this point I expect Florida to undergo an apocalypse, ordinarily I wouldn’t be so dramatic, but they are literally using radioactive material to make roads
