Ignoring the impact of race and racism in history doesn't make it go away; it just makes you ignorant.

I believe today's high school students can handle the information and, hopefully, it will affect their leadership for the future.

Todays high school students are the weakest, most self centered, most brain washed students ever. Most can't maintain a thought for more than ten seconds.

If you had a history class, you know how terrible the US treated other races and ethnicities. The only difference is a lot of things were left out, like the Oklahoma massacre. Of course it affected our laws & institutions. This is not a new concept.

This continual focus on race is taking us back to a segregated, dark, racist place. It needs to stop.

It's part of the Democratic plan to maintain hate and racism, thereby keeping the slaves on the welfare plantation. They don't mind putting white people on the plantation either, as long as they have a plantation, where hate and discontent can be maintained.

We are teaching children they are oppressed or oppressors based solely on skin color. That is the definition of racism. This country is going backwards with CRT and promoting hate and racism against white people mind blowing madness!

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
