Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggests course on Black history spreads 'hate' against U.S.

I would love to see some research on How to Blacks feel about Republicans not wanting to teach the USA kids about Black history-and slavery etc.

Sanders suggests course on Black history spreads ‘hate’ against U.S.


We need to start talking more about what’s at stake if conservatives succeed in their attempts at historical erasure, like with the AP course in Arkansas.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested Thursday that her administration took action against a course on African American history to prevent students from being taught hatred of America.

Last week, the Arkansas Department of Education gave two days’ notice that the Advanced Placement course on African American studies would no longer be accepted for credit. The Sanders administration also said Arkansas won’t cover the $90 cost of the course’s final exam, as it does for every other AP course. As I wrote previously, these actions show how states can set up disincentives for students without technically banning a course, even though the result of both tactics — barriers to learning about Black history — is effectively the same.

When a Fox News host asked Sanders on Thursday whether her administration had done away with the course, Sanders slyly said no. Then she went on a rant.

“We’ve got to get back to the basics of teaching math, of teaching reading, writing and American history,” Sanders said. “And we cannot perpetuate a lie to our students and push this propaganda leftist agenda teaching our kids to hate America and hate one another.”
