Florida's Black History Curriculum

Dr. William B. Allen is taking on Kamala Harris over Florida Black history curriculum

Political advisor William B. Allen, who helped approve Florida’s African American history curriculum, called out Vice President Kamala Harris for her comments on the new course material during a brief interview with ABC News.

The Florida Board of Education signed off on a new K-12 curriculum for social studies in the state last week, sending a storm of controversy in its wake. Opponents of the new coursework, Harris and Hakeem Jeffries, have spoken out against several items in the new African American History section.

Supporters, like Allen, have maintained that the outcries are meritless and many have not read the actual changes.

"These are very thorough standards done by African American history scholars. There is no agenda here. It is just the truth," said Governor DeSantis.

William B. Allen, 79, is a conservative political scientist and author from Fernandina Beach, Florida. He has written several books including 'George Washington: America's First Progressive' and 'Rethinking Uncle Tom: The Political Thought of Harriet Beecher Stowe.'
