Younkin's education team put together history standards that downplay slavery as the cause of the Civil War, call American Indians "immigrants" and generally doesn't teach history.[/quote]

Sounds like you missed some woke training.   There are no American Indians.  You also cherry  picked things from the DOE draft  to get in a snit about.

Time to move to Maryland.  I hear they still have American Indians there [/quote]
"American Indian" is the common term outside the US, where "Native American" denotes a person born in the US, not necessarily Indigenous. As another poster pointed out with the link to the Smithsonian, there are many different acceptable terms. Regardless "immigrants" is not one of them.

Here is another article from Axios with a link to the proposed curriculum, if you'd like another summary of it and to see it yourself in full: [url]https://www.axios.com/local/richmond/2022/11/18/youngkin-history-virginia-standards[/url] [/quote]
