<p>America is engaged in a national debate about teaching black history. ; </p>



<p>Democrats and those on the left accuse Republicans and conservatives of not wanting blacks to know their history. ; Nonsense! ; What is really happening is Democrats only want their version of black history to be taught – and it is a highly politicized and a highly censored spin on history.</p>



<p>It can be fairly argued that up until the mid-20<sup>th</sup> Century, black history was not adequately represented in elementary and high school history and civic classes. ; (Thanks to left-wing academia, we essentially do not have civic lessons anymore.) ; ;</p>



<p>It has been more than 70 years since a more expansive black history was being introduced as part of core curricula – and when colleges created Black History courses. ; The controversy arose because the very liberal academic establishment began to tell a history founded on today’s political environment – a black history that placed emphasis on partisan political advantage over objective review.</p>



<p>While black history in the past gave short shrift to the contributions and accomplishments of Negros throughout American history – and tended to follow the predominantly Democrat imagery of blacks as lazy, ignorant, and immoral.</p>



<p>It was not until college that I learned the first fatality of the Revolutionary War was a black man named Crispus Attucks … of the Negro military units that fought in World War II … of the accomplishments of people like Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Percy Julian (whose nephew was a friend of mine).</p>



<p>We were taught about the wrongness of slavery … that the early presidents owned slaves … of the 3/5 Clause, the Civil War, Emancipation, and Reconstruction. ; There was no mention of the black Republicans who entered Congress after the Civil War, however. ; ;</p>



<p>I did not need my school to teach me about segregation in the South and de facto segregation in northern cities – such as my own Chicago. ; I lived it. ; I saw Democrat Jim Crow laws in action. ; Traveling in the South, I saw the “colored only” signs. ; I saw on television the dogs and cattle prods used as instruments of law enforcement. ; I lived through the Republican&#8217;s successful efforts to pass civil rights legislation in 1965, 1960, 1964, and 1965 – although Democrats and the left steal the credit.</p>



<p>The problem with the new black curricula is that it is designed to indoctrinate along partisan lines – to produce political support for Democrats and the left. ; The new racial curriculum is not educational but politically biased. ; It is underscored by the left-wing bias that casts all things American in a negative light. ; ;</p>



<p>So-called African studies are used to attack modern Republicans (conservatives) by condemning traditional American values. ; It claims that the GOP is the party of racists and racism. ; The new black curriculum is based on racism against whites of European ancestry – and intended to divide rather than unify.</p>



<p>If you have any doubt that the black-oriented education classes have become a political cudgel against folks with conservative values – even distorting the definition and meaning of the word “conservative” – you only need to listen to the radical views of the professors who teach those courses – and they are featured regularly on left-wing cable news platforms. ; </p>



<p>They include Professors Eddie Glaude (Princeton), Jason Johnson (Morgan State), Michael Dyson (Vanderbilt), and Cornell West (several professorships) – to name a few. ; White left-wing historians – such as Jon Meacham and Michael Beschloss &#8212; are also part of the cabal of historians who teach and proffer the false history of the partisan left. ; None of them are objective teachers of history but are radical partisan advocates of left-wing ideology. ; ;</p>



<p>The underlying themes of black education in this country are based on several falsehoods – (1) that America is a pervasively racist nation, (2) that white folks are inherently racists, (3) that white conservatives are especially racists, (4) that white folks are in constant fear of being “replaced” by people-of-color, and (5) that Republicans are racists and Democrat Party is the Party of equality.</p>



<p>To maintain this ideological bias, the left completely cancels and censors all the FACTS that expose the underlying dishonesty of the propaganda. ; The so-called African studies courses virtually never reflect the role of the Democratic Party in institutionalizing and maintaining black oppression throughout American history – to this very day. ; </p>



<p>In fact, calling attention to the Democratic Party’s factual fundamental role in black segregation and oppression brings outrage from the left. ; In the view of the left, America’s “original sin” can be discussed – but only without mention of the sinners.</p>



<p>I have often said that Black History Month should be two weeks because it only deals with half of the reality of black history.</p>



<p>Allow me to emphasize Republicans, conservatives, and white people have no interest in “white washing” the tragic history of black enslavement, segregation, and history. ; But we do oppose the gross distortions of both history and contemporary reality that are the bedrock of much of the current approach to black history. ; ;</p>



<p>The campus attacks on the Founders – and even President Lincoln – demonstrate just how far modern black history – in schools, in the media, and in entertainment – has traveled from reality, truth, and objectivity.</p>



<p>During this month, I will offer an occasional commentary of the subject of black history and racism in America. ; I will likely include facts you may not have known or considered. ; </p>



<p>It will certainly call to task the left’s dishonest and harmful spin of black history – and how black history is crafted and censored to fit the modern left-wing political agenda by spinning elements of the history to deceive and conceal rather than enlighten.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

The Left Will NOT Teach Unbiased Black History
