Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

It is going for sure.  I read where L’Oreal is eliminating the word “whitening” and “ white” from their best selling products.
I am shocked the White House is not under pressure to change its name.  The word “ white” will be extinct. I am not sure that makes sense in any form, but let’s enjoy the ride.

Most of these decisions aren't really based on much pressure from anyone. It's a combination of corporate avoidance of controversy and other goofy things. There wasn't some large movement against Loreal's product line. 

Tbh, K-12 social studies/history classes rarely make it up to modern day.  It's usually chronological and sometimes get to WWII, often sputtering out at the Great Depression.

We petered out right before Vietnam,  this was early 90s.  We had an impressive WWII section and the Holocaust.  I wrote a long paper on Battle of the Bulge.   Mr. Achilles Arestides.   Seriously,  that was him.  A 1st generation Greek immigrant.  Excellent teacher.  Darkest hair I've ever seen on a man.  He grew up in the Bronx,  one way or another found himself in suburban Milwaukee. 

That’s sad.  Why is that?

A few reasons.
It's not bad in that many times, a class gets into a certain war or event and a teacher might spend more time in it.
A sad reason is textbooks/materials - many places use books that are older and since they weren't up-to-the-minute when they were produced, they're more and more lacking recent history.
Another sad reason is a lack of perceived importance of the subject.....due to testing being tied to funding, and annual testing only being reading and math, anytime something needs to be interrupted or cut out or pushed, it's social studies.  Got an assembly?  Scheduled during SS.  Half-day?  SS isn't taught that day.  Fire drill?  Guest speaker?  Field Day?  All during SS (if not specials/electives).

Plus it's just a pacing thing....if you have 180 days mapped out, you might get to the first 160 and especially for upper grade levels, once testing is over, the pace/adherence to plans kind of gets loose.

Chess is now being called racist because white pieces move first.

There is an Amazon Prime series called "Silk Road" that I found fascinating, in part because our neighbor who traveled it watched with us.

Some reality in the paper here about crime going up, and tickets not being written, down from 3,000 per month to 50.

The woke (angry) want to take over the country. No outrage necessary. Everything guys like us did to make this country great matters not.

Burn it down.
