I know and where I live not one thing was built on slavery. In fact your ancestors build their lives at the expense of my people.
Oops. That doesn’t fit the narrative.

Never said it was. If your state is in the US, guess what? Your state benefited.

Black slaves? What state are you talking about by the way

Sounds way overdue to me.
The 1776 Unites curriculum offers authentic, inspiring stories from American history that show what is best in our national character and what our freedom makes possible even in the most difficult circumstances. 1776 Unites maintains a special focus on stories that celebrate black excellence, reject victimhood culture, and showcase African-Americans who have prospered by embracing America’s founding ideals.
Created by a team of independent scholars, counselors, and role models , the 1776 Unites curriculum equips students to seize the opportunities afforded them today. These lessons are grounded in the Woodson Center Principles and help educators bring their K-12 students encouragement, enrichment, and the genuine empowerment that comes with personal agency.
As 1776 Unites founder Robert L. Woodson put it, America’s founding generation built the new nation “upon a set of virtues and values that would create a truly free society, the freest the world had ever seen. They even knew at the time it was falling short of truly delivering on that promise for all, but they knew what they were working toward.”
Each lesson in our 1776 Unites curriculum includes lesson plans, assignments, discussion questions, multimedia, and other resources. Designed to integrate easily with existing course expectations and learning outcomes, each module will have students engaging in appropriate response activities that provide opportunities for clear, measurable learning assessment. The curriculum can be implemented anywhere a child’s character is formed, whether that be the classroom, an after-school program, summer camp, church, or at home.
It is essential that children learn they are agents of their own uplift, knowing their possibilities, responsibilities, and what it means to be an American.

Correct because that wasn’t my narrative
You think that your ancestors did not profit from the killing of my people?
So basically, let’s just not talk about the bad stuff

Agreed. But there was a time between 1619 and 1865 where slavery existed. What is Trump trying to do here by calling this “pro-American”?
Maybe you should actually read about it.

Way over due indeed! Sounds like a good program.

Holy crap, 250 posts in and someone finally delivers on some basic facts about the curriculum.
Thank you for that!

You think that your ancestors did not profit from the killing of my people?
Ok I’ve got to hear this
You’re living free on stolen land, remember?

No surprise that you rejected it immediately without any second thought.

So basically, let’s just not talk about the bad stuff
Let’s not make the bad stuff the only story that should be heard.

You’re living free on stolen land, remember?
In which black slaves had no say…
Kind of shameful that after just 3.9 years some people will not keep an open mind and give our President a well earned benefit-of-the-doubt.
Poe’ing doesn’t suit you.

You were never a slave, you’re just the beneficiary of stolen land.

Let’s not make the bad stuff the only story that should be heard.
That’s not what is happening, is it?
