Kamala Harris: 副总统哈里斯强烈批评佛罗里达州新的社会研究标准，认为其关于奴隶制的论述是错误的。她指出，这些标准试图淡化奴隶制的残酷性，甚至暗示奴隶从中获益，这是对历史的严重歪曲。哈里斯将这些标准与淡化种族灭绝和压迫历史的宣传相提并论，认为它们误导公众，掩盖了美国历史上的不公正行为。她呼吁教育工作者和公众抵制这种虚假的历史叙述，确保下一代能够了解真实的历史。
Daniel Prior: 作为WMF Orlando的记者，Daniel Prior详细报道了佛罗里达州教育标准的具体内容及其引发的争议。他指出，这些标准不仅要求中学生学习奴隶“发展技能”并从中获益的说法，还要求高中生学习关于塔尔萨种族大屠杀的错误描述。这些标准被批评为“洗白”美国历史，掩盖了黑人居民在历史事件中遭受的巨大损失。尽管教师、学生和家长强烈反对，州教育委员会仍然通过了这些标准，这反映了佛罗里达州政府在教育领域的特定政治议程。
