Besides, what history do they have, except what they've been told? Most didn't even have any written alphabet, so couldn't pass along any history except by word of mouth.
Will they exclude those who owned slaves and/or practiced torture? Human sacrifice or cannibalism?
Few Native American Tribes, if any, would remain in the curriculum then.
I have no problem if it is real history minus the opinion that whites are mass murderers.
How long will it be before the “Identity Politics” gets to the Irish, the Chinese, the Japanese and every other ethnicity and gender for separate inclusion in the history? Will there be any time left in the school day for math or physical science?
Sorry, Red Skunk feather...
Your story is NOT my story, and can never be.
Neither is the mexican story: human sacrifice, eat a living beating heart after ripping it out of a live prisoner...
Eat a democratic beating heart?...
Megayuck!!
Moving right along...

While the [California] missions marked the beginning of colonization in California, they were also the beginning of the end for most tribes.
Sounds like they had problems with them too.
So are they going to teach it warts and all? Or is this just more bash whitey crap?
As a native of SoCal I have no problem with teaching accurate history of everybody.
I have read that the Indians of the Lost Angeles Basin were relatively prosperous, with several rivers coming from the mountains, agriculture, fishing, etc. Mild climate.
I think many wound up among the farm workers. Seasonal or stationary.
i guess they still haven’t learned the first lesson of history: the winners write the history books ...
Now, here is a perfect example of bureaucratric P.C. parasites run wild.
It is a State commission supported entirely by California taxpayers.
It is a political private playground.
A California Citizen/taxpayer need not apply for access to their publications, printed or in electronic format.
Once an electronic copy of a document exists, the cost for access to a copy of it on line is almost zero.
This "Commission" (read closed group) has "published a series of reports, in regular bookform and in electronic format.
Their web site makes it virtually impossible to order these reports in ereader format
Do you think that's accidental?
Ping..
As long as they include internecine warfare, trophy scalping, woman stealing, and child sacrifice, wherever and whenever it happened, I would allow it. But it would only be sanatized and fantasized propaganda.
