Louisiana Republican Leader Uses Bible to Defend “Good” Side of Slavery

Recently, Martha Huckabay, the president of the Women's Republican Club of New Orleans, defended slavery. At the beginning of May, the Republican-dominated state legislature was debating House Bill 564, which bans the teaching of racism or sexism in public schools. Fellow Republicans recognized this bill as an attempt to white-wash the past, micromanage teachers, and stifle free speech. State Rep. Ray Garofalo insisted that he wants the students to learn the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of slavery. Republican State Rep. Stephanie Hilferty opposed by saying that there's nothing good about slavery. Garofalo defended himself by stating that he just meant he wasn't trying to stifle legitimate academic discussions. Huckabay went after Hilferty for challenging Garofalo and stated that Hilferty was twisting Garofalo's words. She argued how Hilfery would know that there is no good in slavery, since she did not live through it. Huckabay said that slavery goes all the way back to biblical times, and many slaves loved their masters, and their masters loved them. She noted that anyone who was questioning her perspective on slavery is a "foolish troll."
