Those who want to hide the wrongdoings of the past are those who intend to do the wrongdoing again in the present.

I wonder if these people ever get tired of being racists?

Our children learn in school history but the deep dive is at home and from their relatives and friends. It’s time we run for more offices and unite with other people of color.

I learned about mlk in grade school… I didn’t grow up to be anti white 🤷🏼‍♂️

[dionnegreenwood]

That’s a shame that you would think that taking away from our children with me anything about weight shame on you

[flamingoboot]

Rather than debate the topic I see the comments seem to be attacking the presenter…

[j.sabien]

😂All of these attempts to "sweep the truth under a rug" are comical. Besides for every book they destroy or curriculum they change, there's a movie😂 Truth Will Out💯

Leave it alone
That governor will adhere to the vast majority of parents as he was elected to do. Yes, some politicians care about the majority 😲

I’m very curious on how they decided to cover the Civil War and when they start teaching it. Will they wait until seventh grade for that as well? How are you going to explain why you don’t have school those days? Indigenous people were migrants? How are they going to describe the English coming to America? Aren’t they migrants as well? Id love to hear their wording and curriculum for that subject. As a teacher these revisions are suppressions so they can control the narrative…sounds like history repeating itself. I wonder how and when they’ll teach about WE II? Who and what we were fighting against? This sad and scary.

Crying racism where it isn't, weakens the meaning of the word.

Life sure was better before joe and the Democrats.
