"The Five" program got off to a fiery start on Monday when the panel took up a discussion of the new Black History curriculum adopted by the state of Florida.
WATCH:
The segment got underway with most of the panel ripping Vice Presiden Kamala Harris over her criticism of the curriculum in a speech last week.
Co-host Jesse Watters torched the VP: "Kamala Harris is either dumb and didn't read anything about it, or she knows the truth and has decided to lie to the American people about it." "I think it's disgusting. And why doesn't Kamala Harris want African Americans and White Americans to know that Black Americans did learn skills despite being enslaved? Why doesn't she want them to learn that?" Watters continued.
Co-host Dana Perino then swung it over to the panel's liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov: "Jessica, do you think that she read the whole thing and just decided to cherry-pick something?"

You have some good, and frankly, I'm just fundamentally uncomfortable with this sentence that Blacks benefited at all from this," Tarlov responded.
"And, you know, it made me think of, as someone, obviously, I'm not Black, but I'm Jewish. Would someone say about the Holocaust that there were some benefits for Jews? While they were hanging out in concentration camps. You wanted a strong work ethic. Right. Maybe you learned a new skill," she added.
At that, co-host Greg Gutfeld jumped in, saying, "Did you ever read 'Man's Search for Meaning'?Vik Frankel talks about how you had to survive in a concentration camp by having skills. You had to be useful. Utility. Utility kept you alive." "We are also talking about middle schoolers here, and there's a lot of concern about what age people are prepared to understand complex issues. I'm not sure that 12 is the right age to start hearing things like and when you were enslaved here in America," Tarlov.
At that, both Watters and Gutfeld noted that liberal educators have no problem feeding "Gender ideology" to children who are that young and even younger.
Later on his own Prime Time program, Watters played a couple of clips of Harris making false accusations about the curriculum, which were then refuted by a Black academic who helped write it for Florida’s schools.
