Is there anyone else who is getting a little tired of the elevation of minor historical figures into positions of prominence in order to fill out some diversity quota? I'll guarantee you that all three of my kids were taught far more about Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth then they were about Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson.

Kids should learn about Harriet Tubman, Susan B Anthony, etc. They were important figure. Should they learn more about them then Jefferson or Theodore Roosevelt? No, of course, not.SFGbob said:Is there anyone else who is getting a little tired of the elevation of minor historical figures into positions of prominence in order to fill out some diversity quota?

But if you're worried about diversity quotas in your kid's history class, you might want to consider relocation. I just shrug it off up here in Seattle. The bums and REAL socialists on the city council are my primary concern at the moment. -
I'm not saying that kids shouldn't learn about Tubman or Susan B. Anthony as well as Jane Addams and Emma Goldman, my complaint is the amount of attention these historical figures are given in comparison to Jefferson, Adams, Roosevelt and Grant. Harriet Tubman, while an interesting historical figure who should definitely be studied is given far more attention than her historical importance warrants.

I read my kids history books and it's so painfully obvious that they are written by leftists pushing an agenda. It's indoctrination not education and they start on them early.YellowSnow said:

Gender is entirely a social construct. Biological sex is not. Gender is a socially constructed set of norms and behaviors ascribed to the biological sexes. hthSFGbob said:

Creationism should not be taught in public schools. This isn't a religious freedom issue.WilburHooksHands said:
