It was all over the news...all over the news...this is not a fukkn excuse anymore. It is common knowledge, for those who care (important part), that the Texas school board textbook curriculum usually determines the textbooks used across the nation.

THIS IS NOT A fukkN EXCUSE ANYMORE.

Texas officials: Schools should teach that slavery was ‘side issue’ to Civil War

Five million public school students in Texas will begin using new social studies textbooks this fall based on state academic standards that barely address racial segregation. The state’s guidelines for teaching American history also do not mention the Ku Klux Klan or Jim Crow laws.

And when it comes to the Civil War, children are supposed to learn that the conflict was caused by “sectionalism, states’ rights and slavery” — written deliberately in that order to telegraph slavery’s secondary role in driving the conflict, according to some members of the state board of education.

Slavery was a “side issue to the Civil War,” said Pat Hardy, a Republican board member, when the board adopted the standards in 2010. “There would be those who would say the reason for the Civil War was over slavery. No. It was over states’ rights.”

I know. Still all political affiliations aside...this is why...this passes in one textbook in Texas...it will be taught in textbooks all over the country.

And yeah it wont be present in liberal arts colleges...but lets face it...the only real courses that teach african history you have to pay for. This will go unnoticed in public schools and state schools.

Idk how to feel about this

On one hand, i would like the discussion of slavery in schools be minimized so black youths don't continue to grow up with some doubt or inferiority complex.

But then on the other hand, im not trying to diminish what those devils did back then,and continue to practice to ths day.

History doesn't give you an inferiority complex. Living in a country that was literally designed for your oppression will give you an inferiority complex. If I have children they're gonna learn about slavery from a very young age. I'm gonna let them know exactly what was done to their ancestors not just in America, but all over the planet. I'm gonna make sure they know who their enemy is and teach them to never forget what was done to them.

As much as I would like to agree with you, I could see them trying to change this in college curriculums as well.

I've encountered young white professional teachers that are literally scared to death to teach about slavery...and suggest it would even be better to not teach it at all.

I dont think people understand straight up how many white people out there that just want to avoid talking about race, racism, white privilege, white supremacy, and slavery altogether.

More black people need to join faculties.
