Yeah what about Native American history month, white history month, white inventors, innovators and world leaders month? I always wondered about this, seems very unfair and racist for one race to celebrate but not the other?

It’s the month of May. Carry on.

Historically white schools don’t need to designate themselves as such because everyone know at a certain point, non-whites - especially blacks - were excluded.

We still have Columbus Day in many places but the reality is that the whole story about him discovering anything is fabricated. MLK’s work was real.

Why would you complain about Black History Month? Do you complain about German Heritage Month or Polish Heritage Month? Hispanic heritage month? Or all the other heritage months?
The sheer stupidity and projecting is nothing short of amazing.

Teach AMERICAN history, of all the peoples and cultures and major events. Quit dividing us by groups and work on promoting unity. That's what real inclusion is.
No it isn’t. I’ve also seen Asian-American heritage month celebrations in my area.

Seems like you just don’t like blacks.

But I’m sure you wouldn’t tell them “get over it.”

Typical.

Bring up anything that doesn't toe the line and immediately you are accused of racism and "not liking blacks."

This is exactly why there cannot and will not be an honest discussion of race in the US.

Don’t get snippy, you asked, I told you.
Anyway, depending on where you are, (I can’t speak for everywhere), aspects of Jewish history and culture are touched upon year round, and Jewish holidays are observed. How do I know? I was a school teacher for the better part of a decade in an area with a sizable Jewish population.

Really? Have you been outside of the US? What about Canada?

In Canada, thanks to the Quebecois, we have French-immersion public schools, publicly-funded Catholic schools (any other publicly-funded religious schools are not allowed), French as an official language, French-only universities, French-speaking organizations, French-speaking TV channels, Scholarships and bursaries only open to French-speaking students, etc.

But then, so what?
