The representative instead suggested that schools devote greater attention toward civics and ensuring students understand democratic processes. "It costs us as a society in the long run forever when we dont understand our brothers and sisters that we live, work and play with, Ford said. The state representative is sponsoring a bill that would require elementary schools to teach students about the civil rights movement. Civics is nice and all but I'm fairly certain civil rights movement is one of the most beaten topics in US education. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC7BAt96Xn0 <cite>Extreme_light posted [p:942943994] in Chicago-Ar...

Leaders in education, politics and other areas gathered in suburban Evanston Sunday to ask that the Illinois State Board of Education change the history curriculum at schools statewide, and temporarily halt instruction until an alternative is decided upon. At a news conference, State Rep. LaShawn K. Ford said current history teachings lead to a racist society and overlook the contributions of women and minorities.
