Disgraceful. Utterly disgraceful. People go to school so they can be taught, not so they can offer up social and political commentary.

I agree that the right-wing school board's proposal to turn the teaching of American history into (right-wing) social and political commentary is utterly disgraceful.

Looks like we're in for another 50 years of White Guilt. I thought it would be done and dusted by the time the 21st century arrived.

Yes, because 400+ years of colonialism, racism, discrimination and their social and economic aftereffects should have been completely erased the minute the the last piece of civil rights legislation was passed in the 1960s.

Racism ended when BHO was elected POTUS.

In other news,  people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are the biggest racists in America, no contest.

It's hilarious how your first point is great sarcasm and obviously not true, and then you turn around with an epic fail below it.

Both points were sarcasm...

I know you meant both to be, and I good laugh out of the first one!  But the second one was less impressive.  Without constant racial tension, some of which is legitimate but a hefty portion is manufactured, Al Sharpton would be even less relevant than he is now.

Entire political parties would be irrelevant without racial tension, which is why some people are dedicated to making sure it never disappears.

Case in point: the Republican Party.
