What's the problem with it?

Is this an optional class? Is it only for minority students?

Your continued use of "does country X do that for the US" is immaterial to any debate.

If we have a problem with schools teaching a group about their own heritage does that mean we ban US History altogether?

 

Blacks are Americans, correct? Are we cool with teaching them their heritage? American Indians? Jews? Mexican-Americans?

Blacks are every bit a part of U.S. History as whites are. Quit being ridiculous.

My Aunt lives in Tucson and completely hates this. To be fair, she makes rockmom, acemona, and mcpapa look like fascist.

Check out all the books they banned.

Yes, considering schools in the US have largely omitted the contributions of minorities to American society in their classes.

 

I know it's hard for you to accept, but not everyone in the US is a WASP. Just because others want their story told doesn't mean they're trying to indoctrinate you.

That's indefensible.

This is, of course, the state that fought tooth and nail against the MLK holiday. In that light, it shouldn't be seen as a surprise.

That's indefensible.

...I absolutely loathe book bans.

There's only one goal: thought control.

One of the big problems in Arizona is that Maricopa County (where Phoenix is) contains over half the residents of Arizona and has a majority in the state legislature. So a very xenophobic Maricopa County dictates how the rest of the highly diverse state is ran. Creates a lot of issues.

Yep. You gotta fight the power!
