Illinois community leaders want to abolish history lessons in schools

[toomuchtime_]

An Illinois lawmaker and community leaders are calling for the immediate removal of history books and suspension of history lessons in their school districts because they say current materials and lesson plans "lead to white privilege and a racist society."

State Rep. LaShawn K. Ford joined a group of Evanston leaders Sunday to ask the state to cease its current history lessons, saying current history books and curriculum practices "unfairly communicate our history" and "overlook the contributions by Women and members of the Black, Jewish, LGBTQ communities and other groups," Ford said in a statement to CNN.
"Until a suitable alternative is developed, we should instead devote greater attention toward civics and ensuring students understand our democratic processes and how they can be involved," he said."

Aside from the Blues, early jazz and a few centuries of low level labor, what exactly are the contributions by black people these community leaders believe have been overlooked? Serious question. I can't think of any.

They lie. Didn't they turn Cleopatra from a fair Greek girl to a thick lipped African? The same way.

...not surprised [ LaShawn! ]
...they've been doing that with the statues.....
..they try to make it out that blacks have contributed a lot to our history--but THEN they say we kept them down/etc---which is it!!!???
..they never make sense
...OF COURSE, they haven't contributed much to our history, so they don't want to hear about our history
..ANOTHER reason they are like nazis--which I've linked many times -mods

part of the Lexicon

May as well do away with math, science and English too. Drooling morons don't really require any education.

This satisfies the black and Jewish complaint...

Much of our history isn't presented as it actually happened. Why are so many against a factual portrayal of the history as it actually happened?

Heck, it doesn't even have to be history that is that old. Some still think we "won" in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Math is racist. Grammar is no longer taught it is racist. English literature is completely racist. Science is to be decolonized. That means remove the discoveries and inventions of whites.

Education is over. It cannot continue.
