[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a middle school history teacher taking a first pass (and focusing on middle school standards), I'm not at all impressed.

Here are some of the problems that immediately jump out to me as glaring:

Latino/Hispanic American history get VERY little attention. [/quote]

As late as 1970, only 5% of Americans were Latino/Hispanic (and they wouldn't have called themselves that...). How does the attention paid to Latino/Hispanic history compare to historically much larger groups, such as Irish and German immigrants? Or are you saying we should distort the relative importance of Hispanic/Latino history because there are a lot of hispanics in school now and they would find it interesting?[/quote]

It kind of does make sense to learn about the demographic that is causing the most trouble in Northern Virginia schools, currently. [/quote]

Don’t you have a Klan meeting to go to?[/quote]

I'm sorry math and statistics are so offensive to you. [/quote]
