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

Latino/Hispanic American history get VERY little attention.

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?

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

Don’t you have a Klan meeting to go to?
