Something like social studies was never controversial until America elected a raging narcissist who isn’t capable of handling even the slightest bit of criticism into power. Narcissists always have flying monkeys to do their work; in this case, it’s the Derby school district near Wichita, Kansas. There must never be a negative word about their precious leader, whose ego is fragile but massive. The school board rejected a proposed social studies curriculum for high school students because they claimed that some materials were biased against Donald.
KMUW reports:
The curriculum was recommended by Derby High School teachers, who reviewed six social studies programs over the past year.
Some board members voiced concerns about anti-racism statements on the publisher’s website, as well as the company’s statements about diversity, equity and inclusion. They also said parts of a textbook and online materials do not fairly reflect Trump’s first presidency.
“My biggest concern … involved what I would define as bias of omission,” board member Cathy Boote said.
