I heard a whole thing about this on NPR. Outrageous. Incidentally, even the little bit of info from the teacher they interviewed included stuff I don't know I didn't know about black history. I think ALL kids should be taught black history. It should just be "history." It's not separate; it's a part of American and world history. Kids need to learn this. I do understand why the GOP doesn't want kids to learn this stuff. It makes it harder for kids to grow up as bigots if they are educated about such things.
