SO glad I’m not a teacher in the USA...!
Wow.
What county? If you had instead extolled the Founding Fathers you'd have been accused of racism as well.
Ask if the school observes Black History Month.
Moments later I was escorted to the office by the principal and escorted to the door. He implied I was a racist and we do not single out black students in our school.

You did nothing wrong, but the principal was doing you a favor.
If you stayed on, you likely would be sued for racial discrimination.
Under what pretext, God only knows. But this you should know. Do not talk to blacks.
At all.
Govt schools are nothing but “indoctrination centers”.
Like everything else liberalism touches, public education has been totally destroyed in this country. Liberalism destroys everything it touches....EVERYTHING. It is the BORG of this century and should be stamped out...once and for all.
Why?
What are they?
ML/NJ
The most RACIST thing in America is the lower education given to schools in ghettoes. The Democratic party and unions do not want Blacks to advance with education. How dare you try to teach.
you don’t say whether you were telling the whole class or just the two students about blacks in history.
You also don’t say whether they said they hated history during class or not.
IMO, these kids and their parents and the principle need to get a grip on reality because they are not living in reality but some twisted set of rules that serves no purpose but to grow hate and be divisive. Just like in book of Leviticus, no one can keep all the rules, schools and parents of some kids have gotten that stupid crazy.
If things are that “sensitive” at that school, the principal did you a favor.
Once upon a time, we used to be able to laugh at ourselves, and one another. The following link would be horribly racist by today’s standards.
Sometimes, I really miss the good old days.
Enjoy!

Do they know about your activity here?
You have my sympathies. Sounds like you were taking the liberal approach.
My best hope could be that the students were a tad offended by the usual requisite pandering, but my hunch is that instead the school admin was on to you as something of a Freeper type—and just looking for an opening.
In a roundabout way they’re telling you to ignore the needs of black students? And you’re the racist??
Are you a white male? Then yes.
Imagine their reaction when they learn African tribes would capture other tribes and then enslave them....long before Europeans showed up on the continent.
Just a bit of humble not an attorney advice. Defend yourself! I do not know what your contract read but the school must go by the written terms of your contract. Now even if it states that you can be dismissed without cause blah, blah.. I believe it is essential that you fight to keep your reputation.
The place to start would be to consult an attorney but that gets $$$ and may not be practical. At the very least write an affidavit recounting exactly what happened.
And no your are not a racist.
Cogito, ergo sum.
If you’re white you’re racist by definition.
Time for whites to start fighting back and defend their interests.
Racism, or the lack thereof, is so sensitive a question because it cannot be discussed openly and honestly. Whether or not a person prefers to mingle and marry people of their own race or culture should not be seen as a reflection of their character or decency.
The test should be do we treat all humans with same amount of respect WHENEVER we make contact. I have literally hired hundreds of whites, blacks, browns and others over the last 30 years. I never paid any of those PEOPLE differently, or treated them differently based on their appearance. This is the true test.
