We get it, minorities in this country got a bad shake for a bit in this country. No need to force it down kids throats for an entire month.

Focus a bit more on educating kids so they can be prepared for college and university and a bit less on, "white man bad."

I bet this policy will be dropped due to the backlash.

Their Black History unit will be removed in its entirety instead.

They're opting out from the black history month curriculum...so they don't want their kids to learn about Martin Luther King or the reality of slavery in this country.

If they have any history classes at all from grade school to highschool then that's unlikely, and if not......then this this isnt a racial issue to say the least.

I remember years and years ago when overt racism would get (rightfully) harshly modded. Doesnt seem to be the case anymore.

Black history shouldn't get a month.

It should be called "history" and be taught alongside all other history 12 months a year.

Asking to opt your child out of black history month curriculum is basically the loudest way of declaring yourself a racist.

That's crazy that someone actually interpreted a month honoring black people as "white man bad". What is causing people on CE to get this dumb? Is it the CO2?

Maybe it's the long-term effects of leaded gasoline being passed down through generations.

Racists have been trying to redefine unambiguously supporting blacks and speaking out against racism both as "anti-white" for the past few years now.

Oh they've done that since forever. Racists have been calling white allies "race traitors" since slavery.

tbh, we should probably be teaching more ethnography. "What happened 200 years ago" is super incomplete without "how people lived 200 years ago"., and the latter is also more relevant to people.
