AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta Race and school curriculum have been at the forefront of the American consciousness in a very serious way lately. With Critical Race Theory creeping its way into schools across the nation, many parents are pushing back against the Marxist backdrop of the benignly-titled belief system. However, a criticism of the pushback has been that it cuts short the discussion on why exactly so many people are in support of it in the first place. Perhaps a big reason we see such fervor for such a flawed approach to historical education is because we have failed to accurately and thoroughly represent the full history of the United States, when it comes to our Black citizens and ancestors.
