Aunt Lydia: Black History Course Is Leftist Propaganda

“We’ve got to get back to the basics of teaching math, of teaching, reading, writing and American history. And we cannot perpetuate a lie to our students and push this propaganda leftist agenda, teaching our kids to hate America and hate one another. It’s one of the reasons that we put into law banning things like indoctrination and CRT [critical race theory]. We want our kids to receive a quality education, and we want to make sure that every student has access to it and a pathway to prosperity. And that’s exactly what we’re doing here in the state of Arkansas.” – Sarah Huckabee Sanders, speaking to Fox News.

I taught African-American Studies for 3 years. It isn’t leftist propaganda, nor does it teach students to “hate America.” This is an attempt to erase important parts of our history that are not covered in typical US History classes. https://t.co/0xxkl3U3F2
