California ethnic studies debate: Whose stories get told?
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 15, 2021 | JOCELYN GECKER

It also highlights some of the difficult questions educators will face in an era when America is redefining its heroes and asking whose stories should be told. More than three-quarters of California’s 6.2 million public school students are nonwhite.


And the stories of white people in California will be untold.

Here’s a thought.

Teach the three Rs.

Dump the social engineering BS

Sorry but Latin, and women’s studies as well as women’s sports
have been replaced by LGBT specific studies.

The only fair solution is to teach about cultures that are extinct. And only in their native language.

Neglecting for a moment the idea that anyone with a Hispanic surname is automatically counted as ‘nonwhite’, where are all the white kids going to school?

The Porcine Latins were a noble people. I am willing to teach a class in their language.

Some 30+ years ago, when I still watched 60 MINUTES, they did a story on Dutch Socialism. They mentioned a lesbian barge pilot’s union, and in those proto-PC days, they even treated that as a bit of silliness.

We are living that silliness in deadly seriousness now. There are endless combinations of the aggrieved, and endless Balkanization of our culture, until the knives come out and scores are settled. It’s the socialist way.

Well, according to the article, less than one-quarter of California's 6.2 million public school students are White. Those are children who managed to get born in spite of the tendency of self-absorbed, lazy White people to limit the number of their offspring in order to enjoy a higher standard of living - thus dooming themselves to extinction. (History is written by the survivors.)

The article doesn't supply any figures on children not attending public schools.

Why do you ask?

Regards,

Could the reason be most Dems are homos?

I disapprove of this. Therefore it must stop. From now on, no one can say anything about anybody’s history or customs, not ever, never. No one is supposed to laugh, or snicker also. No micro regressions, no macro transgressions, no Marco Polo either! I hate that game. This would save millions in text book costs.

Based on results, most California kids are ignorant in the 3 Rs. So changing what they are ignorant about in History probably is not a big deal.

Hey man, so true. The only thing you need to know in Cali is where to get the best deals on Sex Wax and Rizla papers.

A bit closer to me, the city of St Louis is roughly 50:50 white/black, but the public schools are 87% black. I think there may be a bit more going on than just whites “limiting the number of their offspring”.
