White Teacher Should Not Teach Black History
Quote from the article: “The message is that we are not concerned about the importance of your historical background.”
No, the message is that we are more concerned with not offending people with astoundingly thin skins (of whatever color) than we are of informing the students of historical events.
The best history I ever had, who gave the best perspective of black history…or any history, for that matter…was a white teacher. Skin color does not presuppose that you cannot teach “colored history”. I’ve met black teachers that teach the most biased version of history you could get…is that any benefit to the students they teach?
