Their economy is booming because they focus on slave labor.

If you're not getting promoted, it's not because you're not good at your job. It's because you're good at a ONLY your job.

is their "economy" even "booming" at all?

shit fucking sucks for most Chinese. billionaires and grifters are getting rich, I dont think that really makes an economy at all.

economies are measured by how the lowest are doing

make no mistake, history will judge us by that standard, and no other

Unless you mean a federal law forcing places to offer them I dont know what you think would be accomplished by a federal law saying people can have them.

Good point - I think federal laws prohibiting discrimination in education (tied to Federal money like Question said) could be a way to approach it...

Not even sure how federal funding has anything to do with this. You just can't help yourself in pushing for only the wealthy to be educated.

Yes, i don't see how cutting off federal funding for institutions that the state is trying to destroy helps the situation.

But I suppose the point as his second post implies is to threaten other federal funding, though I'm not sure how that would realistically work.

"Do (or don't do) the thing, or your federal funding disappears" has less-than-subtly moved state policy before.

The issue with a threat is that you have to be comfortable with the outcome if you have to follow through with that threat.

Same reason why "just let the government shutdown until they capitulate" is a shitty strategy, because it involves inflicting real harm on millions of citizens.

Education policies arent really set at a city level. A law saying that people can have these courses intrinsically means that they also can choose not to have them if they want. Removing state level control of education policy and making it just a national policy across the board, which I very much would be in favor of, is the only way to really fight these pockets of prohibited subjects.

I think they should prioritize Native American studies over anything. They were extremely important to this area of the world for thousands of years before any other folx set foot here.

That and their culture and history is mostly unknown to most kids today.

Mostly the teachers continue on with what they planned, since I taught history I would usually get to civil rights around this time and highlight some of the more well known African Americans of the late 1900s (King, Evers, Meredith, X, Ali, Huey Newton, Parks, Jackson, etc)...

Had a kid ask me why we don't just teach AA history in February, I told because youre supposed to learn AA and other history all the time not just in February...
