I did not receive a full Black History lesson until I paid for the class in college. The information in High School is surface level, at best.

Right, that's what I was saying, it wasn't taught so this is a non-issue.

I'm betting you didn't learn of the full scope of slavery or it's lingering affects on the United States and the people who suffered under it. Especially if you went to school in the south where they still talk about how slave owners looked after and educated their slaves and other nonsense

Yes, I'm saying the AP classes are much more extensive than what you took in high school. They have them in all sorts of subjects, which makes the FL thing a glaring mistake.

Don’t forget about the ethnic cleansing down here in Florida before statehood. The 5 civilized tribes marched out to die after living in the southeastern US for thousands of years.
