U.S : Black History education in our schools is crucial.

 

 

 

Friend, sign the petition: Republicans are attacking Black History education. We MUST stop their racist agenda     SIGN THE PETITION                     Efforts in multiple states across the country are currently underway to eliminate Black History from our children’s education. Republican lawmakers are pushing to ban “critical race theory” in K-12 schools in a giant effort to create a culture war and distract from the progress we are making under President Biden. For example, Texas is touting a “1836 Project” in response to the “1619 Project”, which is another name for white-washing history.   These latest attacks function for Republicans are attempts to actively ban not only any talk of race and racism, but bury the truth of structural racism and call that “truth” the REAL racism. If we can’t think critically about U.S. history and U.S. laws and structures of power, we can never move forward.       Sign the petition: Denounce GOP’s racist efforts to suppress their white privilege in our nation’s schools.           SIGN THE PETITION           Continuing to allow Republican’s racist education legislation to pass jeopardizes our education system, harms Black Americans, and takes the states backwards from the racial justice progress that has been made in recent decades. In order for us to move forward as an equitable and just society, we must have an education system which acknowledges and reckons with the atrocities of our past.       Sign the petition: Support Black History education in our K-12 schools and denounce the racist attacks by Republican leaders.           SIGN THE PETITION           Thanks for all you do,         Erin Tulley, Daily Kos.
