[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so afraid of learning the non-White washed history of our country? I get it's ugly and grotesque and hard to imagine that this is the foundation we were built on, but it's accurate and it's untaught. How many of you knew about Tulsa and Black Wall Street until let's say the last 10 years? Most of us didn't, because **we weren't taught the actual history of our country.** We were taught what the throngs of white men decided we should know. This class and others like it are taking a critical look at *actual* history, and *actual experiences* of Black people in our country. If you don't want to learn about it, it's so frickin' simple to not take the class. But it's just as much an "agenda," if not more so, to remove the curriculum entirely than it is to simply let people who are interested take the frickin' class. [/quote]

It's not the history, good and bad, that anyone is objecting to.  But if you refuse to listen to any of the well stated or less well stated reasons, to the controversial current issues, then it will be hard for you to engage.[/quote]
