"Kids of color have been taught that America is a country founded by old dead white males.....".
So what. Its true.
So what?
You mean you can't see that teaching 'dead white males' is misguided and irrelevant?
Have you ever studied world history and contrasted the workings of the Founders and their philosophy within that history?
By the tone of your post I suspect you have not ever grasped the importance of the guiding philosophy and principles that formed the United States.
I also suspect it is because you are ignorant. Now go ahead and show us more of your irreverant tone.
Show us how and why the perspectives of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Hamilton and so many many others should be reduced in stature to mere 'dead white males'.
