I realize this is not what some people want taught but it IS focused on trying to be neutral. Having read the pages posted I do not see a problem and wish FCPS were following this too.

- Moderate Dem, would have voted for even Bernie over Trump, but also sees SB in FCPS as trying to dive left off a cliff. [/quote]

+1. Either basically nobody took the time to read the pages in entirety, orrrrr people are dumber than we previously thought humanly possible. [/quote]

+1 Everything in the Resolution is what Democrats believed 2-3 years ago. But now it’s considered racist to state that no one should be considered better than another based on the color of their skin.  [/quote]

The words are nice but the intent, like a lot of Southern policies, is to restrict educational knowledge about practices like Jim Crow, poll taxes, black codes, and redlining by making it a negative to even bring up past-and-current practices.

What was stopping them from including a rider that all Georgia schools will have a class section on the economic and social practices of slavery, the succeeding repressive laws, and how Georgia has improved over the years to become a better society?

Oh I know what it was - the fact that those in power haven't really changed.

This country is about to go through some things and it won't be pleasant.
