[quote=Anonymous]Academically I have issues with the "is someone form your child's race presented as a hero" question. I understand the noble sentiment, but that's one hell of a way to teach history. You can show different perspectives and different cultures without being so revisionist.

And of course, for our family's culture, being as we come from a long line of Orange Protestants and southern white people, the answer is "no."

I'm fine with that, but as I said, this survey seems less a survey and more a chance to justify an outcome already decided, and one that is obvious.

Yes, we aren't teaching kids about Central American and East Asian "heroes," typically. Why? Because  history in secondary school skews American and European. Should we instead spend more time learning about native American culture and history? I'm all for incorporating different perspectives and points of view, but there needs to be a common thread. Balkanize our history and we will turn into the Balkans.  [/quote]
