MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell offered a “postscript” to her show on Wednesday in which she admitted to being “imprecise” when claiming Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) didn’t want slavery taught in schools.

In an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, Mitchell asked why DeSantis did not want “slavery or the aftermath of slavery” to be taught in Florida schools. Harris did not correct her. DeSantis has tightened regulations on materials that are allowed in Florida public schools, previously claiming he doesn’t want Critical Race Theory or explicit materials being taught. His critics claim this is a way to target LGBTQ and Black history-related material in schools.
