I fell that it is important for this to be in schools because when you teach history you don’t leave out a part you consider bad because that is what makes history what it is. Learning about problems with different cultures shows an open minded person and that wants to know about history.

history should be interpreted from person to person and only teaching it through the lens of races makes people think only one way.
