WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, facing heavy criticism for defending “anti-woke” teaching in Florida, this week teed up an unusual proposal to the nation’s first Black vice president: Come debate the merits of the state’s new curriculum on African-American history.Less than 24 hours later, Kamala Harris was in an African Methodist Episcopal church in Orlando, firing back.“I’m here in Florida,” Harris said Tuesday to a cheering audience at a convention of Black women missionaries. “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.”It was the latest volley in a rhetorical war over Florida’s new education standards that has escalated in recent days.
