I think most kids would be cool with that. What would it take, all of 24 minutes?

Make Black students read about the history of the Irish, the Welsh, and the Poles. Oppression and slavery weren’t unknown among whites until it was abolished by Christianity.

Stop the whining! Black people aren’t the only group in history to suffer at the hands of oppressors. Your ‘people’ are still being enslaved today, by Muslims in Africa. The communists in this country are pulling out all the stops to distract young Black Americans from the revealed truth as it plays out in Africa today.

Who is she kidding?

From my brief foray into public education in the early 70's, I thought the Founding Fathers were George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, and Cesar Chavez.

It’s fine with me. All of humanity’s history should be taught. Including how Africa under European colonialism fared vastly better than under independence - about how Africa has been in a relentless downward spiral since de-colonization. That’s just a fact, and an important one for all students - including white students - to understand.

How about just making all students learn American history, starting with the Mayflower Compact?

How about we make all students, white, black, green, plaid, learn marxist (ie, post-progressive) history, and how 100,000,000 were killed in the 20th century; for contrast, how about we make all these students, for a change, learn the founders history - Locke, Montesquieu, de Tocqueville, Smith, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Washington...

Going back to my HS days and College, we studied world history, but the world seemed to be the USA and Europe. Nothing about China other than the mongol invasions, the Boxer Rebellion, and Hong Kong. Japan was a feudal society and we open the door to Japan. India?? Don’t recall anything but Ghandi. Russia got into world history via the war and the Communists. Did we ever get into anyone else besides Europe? Yes but only lightly. Ancient history was Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Macedonian. Most of the focus was on the European continent. So? She may have a point. However, finding anything written that dates back more than 2000+ years to support it could be a problem?

What black history? (Recognizing there is an attempt to create a history- which would be better classified as fiction.)

Would there even be a recorded Black history were it not for Western Civilization?

Susan should be REQUIRED to read the casualty reports from every day’s activity of every Union Military Unit, large or small throughout the entire Civil War. To view all the Matthew Brady and other photographers’ iphotos of post-battle scenes, especially those containing corpses of WHITE FOLKS who gave their lives in the struggle to win freedom and liberty; even for ungrateful smartmouthed vacuum heads such as her.

AND she should be required to memorize the numbers of killed and wounded U.S. Military personnel from several major battles. 1st & 2nd Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Lookout Mountain, The Wilderness, Antietem and Gettysburg would probably suffice; and to put the cherry on top, she should be required to write a 5000 word dissertation revealing to all the world that it was the REPUBLICANS who initiated that war to win her freedom, and it was REPUBLICANS who pushed The Civil Rights Act of 1964 through congress, OVER THE OPPOSITION AND FILIBUSTERING of MOST DEMOCRATS. That it was a Republican POTUS who INTEGRATED Little Rock High School and who stood with James Meredith and others who broke the color barrier.

After she does those few simple tasks to indicate that she understands the true FACTS of American history; then and only then will she be qualified to pontificate on what WHITE or any other color students should be required to do! Other than that, I don’t have an opinion on the matter.
