There's not a whole lot to do as vice president. It's a boring job. That goes double for Vice President Kamala Harris, who even on the best of days seems to have trouble figuring out ways to entertain herself.

So it's not surprising that she resorts to shameful inanities like this:

"In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught enslaved people benefited from slavery!"

Wow! That's shocking. What a crazy and obscene thing for Florida to do!

But of course Florida is not doing that, at least not in the half-bright, low-information way Kamala presented it.

Here is the truth of the matter. This month Florida approved new social studies standards to come in line with the state's "Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act" (or "Stop WOKE Act").

That's a good thing. The Stop WOKE Act is meant to counteract dangerous, ahistorical, ideologically extreme left-wing influence in public policy. It's entirely within the state's purview to pass such legislation and it's proper that the state is imposing educational standards to conform to it.

Among those new standards is the directive that schools as part of their curricula will "examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation)." And as part of those lessons they will include:

Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.

That's it!

That's really, really it! The state will require children to learn that some of the things slaves learned under the brutal yoke of slavery could, in some way, "be applied for their personal benefit."

Which is, you know, 100% true. It's not a debatable point. It's a matter of historical record. The history books are absolutely chock-full of examples of slaves using the skills they learned under bondage to help them out later in life (or even during slavery.) This is so easy. It's not controversial. It happened.

In fact, this little historical tidbit is so completely accepted by mainstream historians that it even found its way into the official AP African American Studies coursework:

In addition to agricultural work, enslaved people learned specialized trades and worked as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians, and healers in the North and South. Once free, American Americans used these skills to provide for themselves and others.

Wow! Just imagine what Kamala is going to do when she finds out the College Board teaches the same things about slavery that Florida teaches! She might actually lose her mind.

Bottom line: Never trust anything from the mouth of Kamala Harris. It will never benefit you.
