Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida’s new African American history standards were crafted without political influence.

But there’s evidence authors may have been chosen for their far right-wing political views that align with DeSantis’s own fringe views of Black history.

@smerconish interviewed Eric Reynolds, a former police officer who at age 29 arrested two of the defendants in 1989. Smerconish asked Reynolds about depictions in #WhenTheySeeUs of police coercing the teenage boys to confess. Reynolds said: “That’s ridiculous.” 2/

Linda Fairstein is trapped in a dilemma. If the men known as #CentralPark5 are innocent, then the police may have coerced them to “confess.” She refuses to accept the latter, so she’s stuck insisting that these men are guilty of something. 1/
wsj.com/articles/netfl… In her WSJ op-ed, she finally admits, “Mr. Reyes’s confession, DNA match and claim that he acted alone required that the rape charges against the five be vacated. I agreed with that decision and still do.” 2/
