[quote=flu][quote=livinincali]I think the problem is we’re paying a room full of education experts to come up with with new reading assignment that are more politically correct every year. Why can’t we use the reading assignments from last year or 5 years ago. The basics of reading comprehension and math haven’t changed in centuries.[/quote]

Absolutely agree. Almost none of what my kids have read much in elementary schools is about the accomplishments of men who aren’t black or hispanic (I’m a woman – there is lots about us). Like it or not, history is full of men who’ve accomplished a lot. So they’re really not learning all of history, they are being provided with the parts that people like to feel open minded about . . .
