Where was the outrage from the History teachers, when they looked at their texbooks and discovered that half the history was missing, having been replaced by "inclusions".

I'm not sure what you are talking about David but I'm sure you have a good point.

When pursuing a teaching certificate in Social Studies, I was told directly by my History-teaching Methods professor that History would HAVE to contain 50% inclusions (i.e. women and minorities - whether or not they had any historical significance). The textbooks were already ahead of him. They have been doing this for many years. History must be "fair" to all.

Students may not know who Madison was or what he did, but they do know Harriet Tubman and Dolly Madison.
