As President Trump pushes for "patriotic education" in American schools, some teachers say students aren't being taught the whole story when it comes to US history and its roots with slavery.

Woodrow Wilson -- the most racist POTUS in our history was also a tenured history professor at Princeton -- After his election -- his 4 volume historical compendium became the standard -- a white-washed standard. Go back to pre-Wilson and revise the standard from there -- there is plenty of diverse history to celebrate, appreciate, and learn

Has anyone noticed most of the discussions on slavery is about African Slaves. Little if anything is ever discussed regarding English and Irish slaves that were sold in the British Colonies.

SCPO Morris Ramsey Well to be Honest, I think the African American Slaves were the Longest and Worst Affected by the Experience. Since You Brought it Up though. I'm Pretty Sure My Early Scottish Ancestors that Arrived on these Shores didn't arrive Voluntarily. A Particularly Obnoxious Scottish Clan, "Dawes" Traitors to the Crown in the Old Country and Traitors to the Crown Here.

Well because it’s not taught... it’s the slavery of people that was the problem, But how it has carried into modern day for African Decedents is the now and has been problem. Now your ancestors may have been a slave maybe not but are you still oppressed by it? I think there’s a big difference here not equal by any means.
