Open question to those who are afraid of “critical race theory” (which isn’t being taught in K-12 schools; it’s a course offering in law schools, but you clearly are conflating it with the #1619Project.) What do you WANT taught about U.S. slavery and racism? Nothing? Or what?

Is this about continuing to teach Confederate Race Theory? And continuing to omit things like the founders owning slaves, or the facts about the mass extermination of the indigenous? Are you insisting that those things continue to be omitted? If so, why?

Or is it about adding more empty praise to the teaching of history and completing the sanitization of history that already is the case? If so, why? How does that make children smarter? And don’t you think kids will eventually find out the facts anyway? Would love a response.

Joy, Not sure which “law schools” teach Critical Race Theory, but mine didn’t. Not sure what “most” K-12 schools teach, but my K-12 Ohio public school system taught me all about Sally Hemings etc., the cruelty of slavery and of Jim Crow. You may want to look into this a bit.

You may want to look it up. 2015, MacGraw-Hill had to change a textbook that described slaves as immigrants and http://workers.You 're uninformed about education in this country & missing the point. You're disagreeing just to what? Prove a Black woman wrong?

I attended a k-12 school south of the Mason Dixon line in the 1970’s and we were never taught anything like that. You are setting up a straw man argument.

I attended a k-8 school in Arkansas in the 90s and was taught that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War. It's almost as if your life experience isn't universal and different people have different perspectives.

I'm curious what the hell high school isn't covering lynchings?

This man was not "loved" by his masters. This is the truth of slavery. Horrific and obscene.pic.twitter.com/1wR1L8kdBz

That exact picture was in most of my history textbooks and covered thoroughly

That’s how the teacher I worked w in Alaska taught it in 8th grade team. Said the Civil War was an economic war bc of the Cotton Gin? We had countless arguments.
