For those unaware, massive herds of buffalo in the US were slaughtered in an attempt to keep Native Americans, many of whom were dependent on hunting the herds as they migrated, in one place where they could be watched and controlled. A very ugly piece of our history.
But... This could make some white children uncomfortable! So we probably shouldn't mention it in the history books.
You’re going to a shitty school if they don’t cover this. We went over a part of it at least once a year. It’s it’s a you problem if you don’t know this by the time your done.
I don't remember voting on the curriculum last time I was in school.
I can now though, so thank you for telling me about this. It definitely should have been included.
You have a massive amount to catch up on before even considering voting for school books
