At a Sunday news conference, Illinois State Rep. LaShawn K. Ford (D), along with local leaders, called on the state's Board of Education to "abolish history classes in Illinois schools" because, he said, "current school history teaching leads to white privilege and a racist society."

A news release distributed before the event claimed that "current history teaching practices overlook the contributions by Women and members of the Black, Jewish, LGBTQ communities and other groups."

The lawmaker demanded history classes in the state immediately cease and remain abolished "until appropriate alternatives are developed."

This guy shouldn't be anywhere near our education system. He would do everyone a favor if he became a manager at Burger King.

Why? Because he agrees with all of the conservatives who constantly bash public education?

I disagree. He needs a lone post somewhere. Away from people.
