I had to take Black history. I went to an almost all-black high school and I was proud to learn America’s history. It’s all history and I’m big on that subject. It was pretty awesome.

History is history and it comes in all colors, ethnicities, beliefs and cultures.
What’s the sense in teaching history if you’re deliberately intending to censor selective facts of what has occurred in the past?

Very good point ka, very good. History is linear, teach it as such and include any/all events & figures that had impact on it, during k-12. Now in college, where specializations are starting to shape for students w/a career path, then get specific… black history, indian history, waves of immigration or such. But in k-12, I believe it all should be taught and be all inclusive.
