What kind of garbage is this? Why is African American history required, but not Asian American history, or Latino American history, or White American history, or European American history?
Fee: Don't have a clue. What ticks me off...like I said earlier, we are losing our identity as Americans. ALL of us are supposed to be a family. When people start putting emphasis on one culture over another, it separates us. One reason why I don't like to be called "____-American"...because, hello! We are all Americans here.
I'm seriously glad I left the public school system in 2001. I could not have graduated at a better time. By the time I have kids they'll be forced to take all sorts of pathetic "diversity training" and what not- and I'm sure it'll focus entirely on one or two "underrepresented minorities", while leaving all the other ones out to dry.
Fee: Well I am sure you will teach them right and they won't buy any of that crap.
I bet the Philadelphia school system will place more emphasis on this crap than actual American history
Fee: They probably will...and Philly is a city symbolic in our nation's freedom.
Are you talking to yourself? Wow you really are mad :o)
