Truth in our history books!

While sitting on a “race matters” panel at a local town meeting, the panelist were asked by a member of the community: what can WE do to change the curriculum? As a parent (and a non-educator) her voice resounded the frustration of so many of us. There is a resistance to “rewrite” our American history. But the TRUTH has not be told in its entirety.

Aside from the racist tendencies to omit the truth from our most recently published textbooks, we urge our school board members across the nation to mandate a change in the way we teach social studies. During this election season, we encourage voters to demand that board candidates take this matter seriously! And we pray that the district curriculum writers be mindful of our united responsibility to our children.
