    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.

    I'm so sorry your kids were taught about black people.

    I'm sorry you're such a dishonest piece of shit that you didn't address what I actually said.

    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.

    Now would you care to tell us why Harriet Tubman should get more coverage in middle school history text book than Teddy Roosevelt or Grant?

    No.

    It's funny that the issue of schools over teaching black history is so important to you, white grievance culture personified.

    Is the delay of the Harriet Tubman $20 bill due to Trump’s racism or good old government inefficiency?

    Btw, I wasn't aware that Susan B. Anthony or Emma Goldman were part of black history.

    And you dodged the question you were asked, care to try again Kunt? Why should Harriet Tubman should get more coverage in middle school history text book than Teddy Roosevelt or Grant?

    I agree with you. It's just a minor distraction to me in the big scheme of things.
    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.


    Move to the south, then you don't even have to worry about evolution.
    As that better or worse than being taught that gender is a choice and a social construct?
    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. hth
    Got to love how they so smugly dump on people who reject evolution when their thinking is every bit as faith based as any fundamentalist Christian and just as doctrinaire.
    I have a dick and yet I can wear dresses and fuck dudes. The gender behavior of a male doesnt seem very hard wired to my actual biology?
    Sucks to be you. Literally.
