"There are educators who in the spring started to think about anti-racist instruction and conversations about how to uproot acts of supremacy that students are experiencing," said Hinds, vice president for academic high schools at the United Federation of Teachers, a union representing New York City's public schoolteachers.
Adina Goldstein, a seventh-grade social studies and English teacher in Philadelphia, said she had been thinking about how to turn her social studies class into more of an ethnic studies course to reflect more African American and Latin American history. That would, in turn, reflect the identities of the majority of her students.
Goldstein said that before the end of the academic year, some teachers had a virtual"learn in" in which seventh- and eighth-grade students studied George Floyd, police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement. She said she would be working with all departments to see how they could fit culture-responsive teaching into their curricula, which includes bringing more diverse backgrounds into their lessons and then relating them to students' experiences.

Your going to raise a new generation of racists by teaching this shit.
ScarletpainEra2 Bulls$!t. History doesn't need to be retaught. It simply needs to be presented, free of spin, or opinion. Critical thinking comes when a person can decide for themselves what lessons lie within. Changing how how history is taught? Yeah that's indoctrination and propagandizing.
NBC is the enemy.
By thinking critically they mean what they're basically force-fed what they 'need to know' rather than being able to think for themselves. Too many programmed drones is what's wrong with the world. ThinkYourselfFree ThinkForYourself
You idiots, you are erasing history so we have to relive it. Haven’t you hypocrites heard of learning from our mistakes? Erasing them just allows us to love them over and over again. Well played devil!
In other words, they wanna continue to indoctrinate children. Pathetic.
Better late than never
indoctrination liberal bullshit hatred lies halftruths MediaAgenda Schools Teachers SickAndWrong
It’s spelled I N D O C T R I N A T I O N
'It never stops just making me so proud and excited to see how much kids can regurgitate the dogma we've spoon-fed them their entire academic careers.' FTFY
Is this a joke? Critical thinking in the classrooms of USA? If this statement wasn't so pathetic I would laugh. Let's get back to REAL Critical thinking, where the facts & history are taught, & kids get to decide how to critically think & act. Trump2020NowMoreThanEver
We are living in such dangerous times where we replace history and truth with ideology.
This is poisoning their minds
I love this trend.
It's 2020. Not 1619 or 1960. You are being BAMBOOZLED. Yup.
This is just called Confirmation bias. If a society forgets its history, it's basically doomed to repeat it.
YES NEED TO TEACH ANTI MARXISM AND PRO HARD WORK, MORE DISCIPLINE, NO LOOTING!
We are tired of the BLM movement ok
BLM = Bolsheviks Leading Marxists.
Indoctrination is not critical thinking
Teacher doesn't understand kids shock.
Socialist always rewrite the History of the Country they are Destroying.
There is no critical thinking anymore. It's indoctrination and It's agree with me or we destroy you. How is any of that critical thinking?
Horseshit.
They already did this years ago under our nose. This is why we already have a warped vision of history. This is why so many today embrace socialism. They have been sold a deceptive outlook. Death and destruction is it’s out come. History proves this.
Why is the subject of slavery taught in history lessons? Today’s slavery and trafficking should be examined. Can’t do much for those enslaved hundreds of years ago, but millions around the world, could be helped if the will was there.
The truth would help, but we found it on our own
You mean Radical Democrat indoctrination is actually going to get worse for the gullible school children?
I am collecting old history books preparing for the purge.
History is history. You can’t change it. If you do we will repeat it. Idiots.
Wow. Were going to erase history now? So why take it or learn from it? Oh yeah, we don't.
Typical of a communist agenda it is not the future that keeps changing but the past. revisonisum
Teachers have been twisting history for decades now to fit a liberal narrative. Nothing new.
And parents are realizing that schooling can be done online with no indoctrination. Lots of kids might not be taught that we live on 'stolen land' They might even grow up without guilt for just being born.
The issue is liberals put their own narrative in and it warps what really happened.
Need to teach history from multiple angles. Best teacher of history I had did this his Alamo content was eye opening
Applauding - I’m pissed that I wasn’t taught the truth and am learning it now.
That communist organization has been manipulating history for the last few decades. Now they want it recognized and accepted........
rblazak Yes! Change the narrative of how this country was founded and built!
By teachers you mean leftist lie indoctrinaters, right?
For fuck sake . History should be taught as History. It not left or right . It history only tell the facts . Ok to discuss it after wards . But should not be pushing an agenda 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Fire those teachers and hire new ones
But at the same time they will teach there is more then one gender, etc. Its not facts they are after but pushing an agenda. Resist.
This will be interesting. Going to teach the fact that Dominant Black tribes captured and sold other blacks into slavery? The America’s not the only place slaves were transported to and whites not the only ones that engaged in the abhorrent trade. Going to teach this?
Our history is taught in revisionist segments that gloss over a lot of bad people/policies/events while glorifying the very same as good or heroic. Meanwhile people who make tremendous contributions you might not even hear about until college or later.
Literally changing history now.
Anyone who sends their kids to public schools these days is an idiot.
Back in the 60s, Miss Jensen, my American history teacher, taught real American history, no matter how ugly it was. Stuff not in text books. Gave me a lifetime love for history. Thank you Miss Jensen!
just listen michael jackson
Send your kids to private schools.
How about teaching our children how to read. Then they can read a myriad of titles on history.
I think individual teachers should not be trusted to teach racial history. It should be professionally done on a DVD and the same approved message played to all students.
Is it rewriting history or changing the point of view?
Teach multiple perspectives, not text books.
1984
Sure, they need re write history. Very good manuals teachers can find in '1984' book by Orwell. Communism is right ahead... Will be very useful to learn how communism looks if take a look at Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, some African countries.
So, revisionism then? Gotcha
How gotdamn stupid is this country? And how irresponsible are you for reporting such TRASH?
Nothing needs to be changed about teaching history.
Are you serious? Leftists took over American schools (and book selection) decades ago. We need a purge of leftist teachers and administrators first, THEN a re-examination and re-shaping of the curriculum.
Remove black history month and teach it year round with everything else. It never should have been segregated to begin with. Problem solved. Now can we move on?
Must examine abortion data when examining systemic racism.. kills more black people than coronavirus every single year
It's past time.
No, they’re not. History is history. It’s not an opinion or a “way to teach it” it’s historical fact. Teach history as historical facts. Get rid of liberal anti American teachers! Get rid of the hateful leftists in public schools!
Now is the perfect time for parents to look into homeschool co-ops. Teachers unions are turning schools into BLM cult sites.
About fucking time! How about teaching to the truth by having students do the research instead of being fed textbook (corporate) bullshit. We are not good because we are taught we are great when we are far from being good enough.
They should all be fired then. History is what it is. You can't change whats happened, only learn from it.
Yes we must come up with some bullshit to make the black population relevant in World History. Black LIES Matter.
It’s time.
A racial reckoning Oh please... . . . . .
They can start by teaching that the confederates were democrats and Joe Biden is a racist.
'teachers are reconsidering how history is taught.' That's what Hitler did, and Stalin, and Mao, and everyone else who committed genocide.
Need to reconsider how science is taught since these ppl seem to think a transwoman is a real woman... A transwoman is a man
HEADLINE CORRECTION: 'Insane leftists, that think you are a racist, are 'teaching' your kids'
Good. End white supremacy.
Just teach the truth
They teach history in High School?
End the Department of Education.
Defund the union
Good. They can stop that whole Thanksgiving lie about Pilgrims and Indigenous. And start telling the story about what happened to their land after they fed white people.
The Lincoln Project!!! Must See!!!!!! And Subscribe please
It's not up to teachers. They are a medium and nothing else. A house plant could fill their job.
And they should. I wasn’t taught anything useful about our country’s history. The trail of tears is one of our biggest moments in USA history and that might’ve been a 1-2 day item in history classes for me.
In other words, Marxist Indoctrination of our youth. If we launched all white liberals to the Moon tomorrow, never to return, racial harmony would rule the day within a month.
Libs want to change history to lies
If we can't find enough racism in history, we must change history to meet the required racism level. This is the only way to end racism today - by educating people (whites) on their racist history - regardless of whether it really happened or not.
The 'history' taught in our schools is pure white washed propaganda. Good for them for changing it.
How about they go back to teaching first
