I don't think it's dishonest or wrong to say that slavery was bad. Trying to say "well there were good parts" is a clear attempt to soften the wrongs that were committed. Florida's new guidelines want to soften that and to refuse to teach about the atrocities committed by our own ancestors. This is horrible, and Desantis defended it. That's what we're mad about.
Slavery is bad. Slavery was bad. People being enslaved is bad and bad for them. Period.
