I refuse to teach my children anything about "Black history",or to use the label"African- American".

In my little homeschool we learn about American History and Americans,World history and world citizens.

We don't need to talk about the amount of pigment in people's skin,unless we are talking about genetics. Then the point is no two people,including Americans, have the same about if pigmentation in their genetic code.

At its core the intent of Carter G Woodson was to inform the masses both black and white of the contributions of black Americans to the greater society. Most of these contribution were and still are left out of the history books. What was meant to inform has now been polarized and politicized to the Nth degree.

All accurate history should be taught in schools, from the pre and post modern world. A people that doesn't know its history is doomed to failure. When I was in the public school system we got the history of nations but we started with the United States and Studied the constitution. This was in Chicago Public Schools no less.
