[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have had lessons re. MLK since Kindergarten.

Not sure what you are talking about. [/quote]

+1. My kids learned about MLK every year in elementary school.  I've heard very liberal parents complain that they love the MLK lessons, but maybe the schools could mix it up some years and teach a little bit about other famous Americans too.[/quote]

I agree.   Our school does a great job of teaching african american history starting during the Civil Right era, but NO OTHER HISTORY (it isn't on the MSA).  And they mostly teach what they do teach in February.

Also the ONLY biographies my kids have read, or reports on people they have written, have been on famous African Americans, during black history month.

Nothing on famous Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Europeans of the middle ages or Renaissance, or famous scientists, mathematicians, presidents of the US, world leaders past and present; famous inventors.  Nothing.

Is it because these people aren't tested on the MSA?   I think so.[/quote]
