5. The problem with public education and the books chosen
is the organization that chooses the books and materials is of the far right and very white organization.

They pick and choose the distorted history that is taught to our students. African Americans, Indians and other minorities have decried this practice but have been shut down by this organization which claims that minorities are just crying wolf.


I am glad that more and more people are getting exposed to the contributions of minorities towards building our great country.
