Pandering is bad.

Distracting from essential learning is just ridiculous.

The modern world exists as it does because of the impact of Western culture over the last few centuries. To focus on the minutiae of other cultures to the extent that students lose understanding of what made their lifestyle possible is to do them a disservice.

And, to answer your question, I believe the amount of “political correctness” (although, in this case, I think you are concerned about “multiculturalism”) that our children are exposed to is detrimental to their well being.

Just reverse the race being discussed and in print to see what I mean. What if in the math book, it was all fun facts about white culture? What if in history they only covered Anglo Saxon history? I realize that in decades past they probably DID do things like this, and some well-minded person decided to reverse it to balance things out.

Unfortunately reverse racism is still racism. Racism is racism regardless of color.

Just like Black Entertainment Televison is racist, as is the NAACP and The United ***** College Fund. If there was a White Entertainment Televison channel or a United White People’s College Fund or the National Association for the Advancement of White People, you can bet Al Sharpton would be there in a New York minute to cry racist.

Yes in years past racism was alive and well in our country, and yes, even today (as with the Jenna 6) racism still exists in pockets, but eventually we need to strive to be balanced about race and racism. Swinging the pendulum 180 degrees is still racist. If our society is to truly move past it, we need to truly see value in all cultures and embrace all people of all races, and being PC becuase of things our forefathers did doesn’t really help. In fact it makes things worse.

we learn from history no matter who writes it. we should stop wallowing in it. get over it and change what we can going forward.

i spent the summer un nuetering my boys from this PC junk.

school kids like that will have plenty of remedale course (at taxpayer costs) to catch up with.

there will always be winners and others trying to drag them down to their level.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Americans are just trying to do what’s right and that maybe they’re not perfect and may not do the exact right thing, but that what matters is the intention behind “political correctness” to do the right thing?

You seem to have put a lot of thought into how we’re “wrong”, but what efforts do you put into what’s right?

I don’t know you from one question but you come across as threatened by blacks to me. I apologize if that’s not correct.
