The Next Generation of Students Might Be Ignorant of U.S. Racial History
If we want a democracy, all American students need to learn our racial history.
And yet, almost half of the country’s 22 million American public school children live in states where they will be miseducated about the realities of racism, according to a study out of the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) earlier this year.
You may have heard about curriculum laws that ban accurate information about U.S. history and race; if you live in a blue state, you may believe it doesn’t affect you or your children.
