A Democratic lawmaker in Illinois is calling for the abolition of history classes in the state because he claims that the current program “leads to white privilege and a racist society.”
“Leaders in education, politics and other areas gathered in suburban Evanston Sunday to ask that the Illinois State Board of Education change the history curriculum at schools statewide, and temporarily halt instruction until an alternative is decided upon,” NBC Chicago reported. “At a news conference, State Rep. LaShawn K. Ford said current history teachings lead to a racist society and overlook the contributions of women and minorities.”
