You can't do basic civil rights history without some of these words.

 And that's precisely the point Behind this measure.

 Conservatives like these would never admit it, least of all to themselves, but they'd be perfectly happy with a civil rights history "curriculum" that boiled down to simply" slavery was bad, Jim Crow was bad, then Martin Luther king came along and convinced white people to change, and things have been more or less OK since the mid sixties."

History education was fine the way it was taught in 2011 .

Was it though?
