Did your k-8 school use “Facing History, Facing Ourselves”? We found that the kids in our very diverse school really benefited from studying that unit (it originated in the Brookline school system). I’m glad that minorities are involved in the school culture. In many schools, minority parents don’t get involved, for one reason or another, and it can make for some imbalance in the viewpoints that are represented.
