The NYT writer just had to include, “The degree to which “the program” omits the intellectual contributions of women and people of color troubles me.”
Not to worry, most 8th graders today probably know as much or more about Harriet Tubman as they do about George Washington. Most probably could tell you nothing about James Madison or Alexander Hamilton.

My daughter's high school US history book had an entire page about Harriett Tubman and one sentence about the Wright Brothers.
Question: which of those historic figures had a bigger impact on the lives of African-Americans?
Hint: It's the ones whose invention is used daily by thousands of black Americans.
