Nothing to be careful about. First and sometimes second generation immigrants almost always have a hard time. Especially if they come from poverty in their native country.
I don't know if it is just first and second generation though. Either way, things are more complex than what is generally told.
I don't think white people will be demonized. I don't think black history should be taught. Nor Irish. Nor Italian. Nor Jewish. Nor Chinese. Nor Dominican.
We all know this is being done to further a political narrative. So some may come to that "whites will be demonized" conclusion. That's the issue with pushing political narratives.
Whats the political narrative? Enlighten us.

And you think NOT teaching it isn't pushing a "political narrative". Why are racist Republicans so against teaching it then?
The DOE has been in existence since 1969 teaching US and NYC history. Them magically after the turmoil of the last year and the BLM narrative, they decide to spontaneously institute a K-12 Black Studies curriculum. Alongside this "black studies" curriculum they're also instituting a Latino Studies and Asian Studies curriculum. Oh wait, they're not?
You keep thinking people are dumb but everybody knows what's up.
The beauracrats who came up with this see American history as "white" studies so they want to counter it with "black" studies.
Why would they institute this curriculum otherwise?

Only insofar as it relates to America's involvement in WW2. A mention of the US liberating concentration camps should suffice. Other than that, they should leave it out
If someone is interested, there are plenty of books, documentaries, or they can take a course in college.
Do you think there should be a K-12 Holocaust curriculum?

So a high school student should not be taught any world history unless it involves America?

But it is being taught? I went to NYC public schools. Social Studies and American History spoke, at length, about the South, Slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, etc.
If I had to guess, this curriculum will be the 1619 project and CRT in disguise sprinkled in with the CIA crated the crack epidemic and MLK was killed by the FBI.

You know. There’s that spiel that goes against the narrative that all are equal under God, the bootstraps; Daddy Warbucks: keep your head down and burrow on.
Some folks should be grateful that they are living in Whitey’s house, on White man’s street name, and sitting in a white man’s car, and it shouldn’t matter that a lot of the opportunities afforded whitey came too late for non whiteys.

There are US History classes and Social Studies classes. Depends on the topic, that's what is taught.
