Baghdad Bok doesn’t want to hear about any history that hasn’t been Whitewashed. Manifest Destiny and “Birth of a Nation” are the only approved curricula.
There is dedicated band of liberal trolls who regularly leave comments on these pages. The identity and location of these trolls is unclear however their purpose is very clear, to divide Americans against themselves.
Our ancestors did some wonderful things. They also did some bad things—-the treatment of Native Americans and slavery. Both sides of the story need to be told.
Black people were no allowed to live in certain neighborhoods, go to certain schools, or hold certain jobs IN MY LIFETIME. Ruby Bridges is still alive.
Once again, racism is the crutch that the coloreds fall back on when they can’t compete. Apparently, according to the education trust, coming up with the correct math answer shows white supremacy. Give me a f-ing break.
Woke is so tiring. Exhausting, in fact. What’s always missing is the historical fact that white supremacy was invented by mercantile capitalism five hundred years ago, and maintained by our current crop of bosses, for the purpose of diving the working class. Divided we fall. The American working class has never been as tolerant of differences as it is today.
Must be a Southern Conservative educator if he’s going to misspell writing and arithmetic to make a nonsensical point. Teaching the racist history of a country is supposed to educate and prevent further racism; celebrating it (Confederate statues and flag) or “whitewashing it” (most Southern history books) just enables it.

Teaching real history, makes the racists uncomfortable. Can’t have that, now can we.

By reading Chip’s work, I am saving a fortune on mind altering drugs. His work makes my reality go fuzzy for free.

If the school promotes racism, yes, would cover every subject. He forgot one… intelligent design.

Talk about cancel culture. Try reading an American history book.

Because schools should not talk about the biggest and most destructive problem in the history of the United States.

Bok you seem to be struggling to find something to be angry about. Maybe you should take your blinders off and take a look back at the last 4 years.
