So you think that if we remove the topic of slavery from schools. Slavery will return?
Im all for history, how ever if we are going to dedicate a month for black history(which I think is completely obsered) why not focus on all the positive contributions blacks have made , why focus (at least here, they focus on the negatives? Its like they want people to hate each other)
I have no problems putting the history of all people into schools, but just put it in, with the time lines you are teaching about when it pertains, there is no need to dedicate a month every year of a childs life to specifically learn about one topic. It just seems so redundant. It was slavery last year and it was slavery this year.
