Ron DeSantis rips Kamala Harris over ‘hoax’ Florida curriculum claimBy Snejana Farberov

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis accused Vice President Kamala Harris of trying to “perpetuate a hoax” Tuesday night after she claimed that the Sunshine State’s new middle school black history curriculum includes lessons “that enslaved people benefited from slavery.”
The 2024 Republican presidential hopeful said during an interview on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that contrary to Harris’ statements, the curriculum adheres to high standards set by African American scholars.
“There is no agenda here. It is just the truth,” DeSantis said. “And they talk in gory detail a lot of the bad in American history, including, of course, the injustice of slavery. But she is trying to perpetuate a hoax.”
The governor added that Harris and other Democrats in the Biden administration have latched onto what he called a “fake narrative” about Florida to use in their political attacks against him in the run-up to next year’s presidential election.
“She hopped on that plane very quickly on Friday to come down to Florida to spew this hoax,” DeSantis told host Jesse Watters of Harris.
