But, even if they know something about systemic racism, it will not do them or anyone else any good if they can’t articulate what they know, especially in coherent written English, and form persuasive, organized arguments to support their beliefs.  Schools should be very focused on training students to understand and make good arguments and much less focused on what to fill those arguments with.  Content is important and some examination of what that content is might be helpful, but MCPS isn’t balancing it very well with a strong program in skills development right now.  [/quote]
The students may know systemic racism in the US well but they cannot balance a check book, budget their monthly expanse, find a job that pays rent and meals.[/quote]

How about:  If we want the next generation to make a better country, we need them to learn as much as possible from a strong, well-rounded, content-based curriculum - including an in-depth study of history (among other subjects) so that they could learn lessons from the past, including mistakes like state sponsored, systemic racism.
