@johnlegend @MatthewSpira Wearing a mask infringes on their rights but this "big brother" behavior is just fine by them. What could possibly go wrong?
@johnlegend John are you aware of the written law you are so arduously attacking? It’s not written unilaterally. It definitely protects all people from outward bigotry. There is no silencing of history. It’s not what’s being taught.. it’s how it’s being taught.
@johnlegend ALL parents need to flood these tip lines with complaints about how truthful history is being silenced. Our schools should be teaching a truthful, scaffolded, age appropriate, history of our nation. The end.
@johnlegend My Texas History class didn't cover how slaveowners were given incentives to move to Texas with their slaves, and that one of the reasons Texas sought independence from Mexico was because Mexico outlawed slavery.
@johnlegend @trudygonzales Educators study content, techniques, resources and research to come up with relevant (state) curriculum which should align with federal guidelines and in most cases, improves and expands those guidelines as appropriate to meet the specific needs of their students. Not the parents
@johnlegend Black history is American history. I'm white and it makes me uncomfortable that it is not a knowledged that America would NEVER have survived on a system that did not exploit and abuse the labor and ingenuity of people of color.
@johnlegend Thank you!I’m a teacher in Virginia &appalled at just the first week of GOP governor…here creating division, encouraging parents to report teachers if they don’t agree w/something,anti-mask parents stalking kids going to school-calling them sheep &offering donuts to remove masks
@johnlegend @Macgirl730 Thanks, John. The education system is not perfect, but it is on the right sidebar decency. Let’s keep it that way.
@johnlegend @cwebbonline That also goes for Asian parents ,Irish parents, German parents , Latino parents, Taino parents of Puerto Rico, Hispanic parents, Northern and Southern American Indigenous parents and the list is endless because in history every new group of people has been discriminated against!
