[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t want public school teachers teaching race or white privilege to my non-white kids, are you kidding me? I barely trust them to teach essay writing. [/quote]

One of my public school teachers, who insisted their class of 10th graders watch Roots from start-to-finish, absolutely changed my life and perspective on society.

Its about exposure not necessarily having the Cicero of educators teaching you at every level. [/quote]

I don’t see anything in this proposal that would prevent showing the kids Roots.

One thing I’m very skeptical of is white teachers trying to explain how bad off nonwhites are, in a way that’s ultimately disempowering and discouraging. Honestly, again, as a the parent of nonwhite kids, I don’t want white people teaching my kids any of this, full stop. [/quote]

So what's the assumption here? They never learn it? Or you hope there are parents at home that will teach their kids over 200 years of history when those same parents were complaining about having to oversee cursive lessons for 1st graders during quarantine?[/quote]
