But that's just EXCUSES. Anyone can infuse black history into lessons if they really wanted to, in fact, that the who idea behind lessons being culturally relevant. One can also display tons of inspiring images all around their classroom. The English curriculum is very open to a variety of text, and any teacher can select Maya Angelou, Frederick Douglass, Toni Morrison, and any other number of black authors. In Global, one can spend a little more time on Mansa Musa, and there is no shortage of black history one can include in the U.S. History curriculum. Stop making EXCUSES, and if you think for one minute that the crybaby Republicans would even want to include any real Black History then you are completely delusional and sound really dumb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-26633958096131753392021-11-14T08:20:44.991-05:002021-11-14T08:20:44.991-05:00It’s up to the teacher to follow the curriculum.

I reject your rejection. Why? Because a false us history continues to be taught. This false history misled me and continues to mislead many many others. Why must one learn about black american history in February? Why was the tulsa massacre hidden? Why didn't I learn about the many many contributions of black Americans during my school years? Do you think that is the American foundation we should celebrate? I don't want your version of history. I don't want my version of history. I want the facts. The unmitigated facts. The reason Civil rights were enacted is because people refused to accept the bullshit. Many were murdered for these rights. You're welcome. If not for our fight, shit would still be "just fine". Thank God my village lived a life of strength courage perseverance love and honor. I don't tolerate the bullshit.waitingforsupporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390407586885648546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-20439248831494456972021-11-12T12:50:56.402-05:002021-11-12T12:50:56.402-05:009:43.

We all have gains not realized. Stocks go up and down all the time. But the really rich have mechanisms and money managers in place to make sure their wealthy clients can live luxuriously by borrowing tax free. The rest of us have to actually sell stock to live off the money. When we sell we pay tax on the gain. This is my understanding of what’s really wrong with the tax code. Ideologically speaking I don’t want to fund the lives of people who don’t want to work or who have children they can’t afford. I don’t want to fund corporate welfare either. I don’t want to fund regime change wars unless every member of congress has a son or daughter sent to the front lines of that war. One can be a conservative and dislike welfare recipients in all forms. Welfare moms and dads, corporations, military industrial complex. Many people here assume if you believe one thing you must also believe another. Those assumptions are imaginary. I reject CRT praxis in schools. The imaginary leap is I reject teaching students that the American government has treated many citizens horrifically including and arguably the most heinous example being the American slave. Japanese-American internment and countless other examples. I can believe these things and still think our founding fathers started something miraculously beautiful. At our core America is a country that strives to be good, fair and just. It’s people want that. When you attack to destroy America’s foundation you attack American freedom itself. It was those founding documents we built upon that got us the 15th and 19th amendments (voting rights for blacks and women). I’m a female. I’m not permanently scarred because women were once considered the property of their husbands. I’m grateful I’m in America where we did away with that kind of thinking rather than living in a place like Afghanistan where I can be killed by my husband for being raped or where a 9 year old could be sold to a grown man in a forced marriage. Afghanistan has no solid foundation of freedom. We do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-33005765873397568902021-11-11T07:15:23.038-05:002021-11-11T07:15:23.038-05:00Build more schools Build more schools Anihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440952464004047411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-27775653156220860882021-11-10T21:44:23.143-05:002021-11-10T21:44:23.143-05:00@1225 pm... you remain on point.
