the year 1619, the year the first enslaved Africans arrived in what's now the US as a crucial point in American history.

I've really yet to hear anyone say with their chest why the original sins of this country aren't important to learn about.

It's just a bunch of adults whining at board of education meetings about how Mikailee shouldn't have to learn about how this country came to be.

So critical race theory is the idea that we should teach history from a perspective that is holistic and considers the experiences of people from different races.

There are a lot of exotic notions about what are the most important points in American history. I simply disagree with the notion that the New York Times laid out there that the year 1619 was one of those years.
