But does your curriculum provide the greater context in which the American Experience was/is developed?
- built on individual rights AND personal responsibility?
- built on Judeo-Christian values.
- that slavery was common throughout the world and done to and by people of all races. That the U.S. was among the first countries to ban slavery. That thousands of US citizens fought and dies to end slavery. Slavery was/is not a white people thing, but white people with Western values were the first to ban slavery. Slavery is horrible. How great then is it that old white guys (not really old) were the ones to eradicate it?
- that colonialism was done by many different cultures. It was not a white thing. But white people examined how it has adverse effects and has taken step to mitigate harm.
To understand the American experience you need to provide the context.
I have received three job settlements for sex discrimination against men, and one settlement for black racism. In each case, they never tried to hide the discrimination.
This looks like it focuses solely on race and ethnicity.
What about the biggest and most-violently oppressed demographic in all human history: girls and women?
Half of all students in all schools belong to this demographic and cope every single day of their lives--even in school--with the conflict between their society and their humanity.
Do you not teach students to understand THAT social structure?

This sounds amazing. Congratulations to Monica and everyone at FAIR for bringing it together and getting it out into the world. Keep up the good work.
