The Florida Board of Education meeting in Miami discussed book bans, African American history standards, new standards for students in Dept of Juvenile Justice programs, and school safety. Controversy arose as Florida sticks by social studies standard teaching the 'benefit' of slavery, despite being widely discredited and derided. The Board retained African American history standards but updated others in the curriculum.
