https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:RossBetsy.jpg; Edward Percy Moran [Public domain]<\/figcaption><\/figure>In the news last night:\u00a0 \u201cChicago-Area Leaders Call for Illinois to Abolish History Classes<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are the first few paragraphs:<\/p>\n

Leaders in education, politics and other areas gathered in suburban Evanston Sunday to ask that the Illinois State Board of Education change the history curriculum at schools statewide, and temporarily halt instruction until an alternative is decided upon.<\/p>\n

At a news conference, State Rep. LaShawn K. Ford said current history teachings lead to a racist society and overlook the contributions of women and minorities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This press conference was paired with a press release which is noteworthy for what is apparently the most recent consequence of the hand-wringing over capitalization of colors when used to denote race\/ethnic identity:<\/p>\n

Attendees at Sunday\u2019s press conference will discuss how current history teaching practices overlook the contributions by Women and members of the Black, Jewish, LGBTQ communities and other groups. These individuals are pushing for an immediate change in history changing practice starting this school year. . . .<\/p>\n

Evanston Mayor Steve Hagerty notes \u201cAs Mayor, I am not comfortable speaking on education, curriculum, and whether history lessons should be suspended. This is not my area. Personally, I support House Bill 4954 because I am interested in learning more and believe the history of Black people should be taught to all children and include all groups, Women, LatinX, and Native Indians who helped to build America.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, you read that right \u2014 apparently \u201cwomen\u201d is deemed in need of a capital letter as well.<\/p>\n

And this press conference is indeed about legislation, not just a loopy demand.\u00a0 The Evanston Round Table<\/a> provides more details on the press conference, and, yes, \u201cabolish history classes\u201d is an easy way to ensure your event will get press coverage, but even absent that demand, the platform of this group, which calls itself Women Empowering Women in Local Legislation, or \u201cWe Will,\u201d raises plenty of grounds for concerns.\u00a0 Their objective is not merely to promote the history of women and minorities:\u00a0 it goes much further.<\/p>\n

The legislation in question is Illinois House Bill 4954<\/a>, which intends to amend the Illinois School Code.\u00a0 At present that code already requires a long list of ethnic groups whose contributions must be taught:<\/p>\n

the role and contributions\u00a0of African Americans and other ethnic groups, including, but\u00a0not restricted to, Polish, Lithuanian, German, Hungarian,\u00a0Irish, Bohemian, Russian, Albanian, Italian, Czech, Slovak,\u00a0French, Scots, Hispanics, Asian Americans, etc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And when this was added I quite likely griped (though I can\u2019t find the gripe at the moment) that this laundry list of groups whose history must be taught made no sense if the idea was somehow that each such group must be given special individualized attention.<\/p>\n

But the Ford\u2019s bill, which he introduced back in February<\/a> and has a small handful of sponsors, goes further:\u00a0 first, it requires that instruction on African Americans include the period from 1954 to 1965, that is not merely slavery.\u00a0 This is reasonably unobjectionable, especially given the context that Illinois already requires that each student be taught specifically about \u201cthe forceful removal and illegal deportation of Mexican-American U.S. citizens\u00a0during the Great Depression.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, second, it adds three commemoration days to the Illinois school calendar.<\/p>\n

As an interesting side note: I had no idea that the state of Illinois specified these \u201ccommemorative holidays\u201d and requires that schools \u201cshall include instruction relative to commemorated persons, activities, or events.\u201d\u00a0 Here are the existing days:<\/p>\n

January 28 \u2013 Christa McAuliffe Day, a commemoration of space exploration (really? we talk about space exploration not by celebrating successes but by mourning the Teacher In Space?)<\/p>\n

February 15 \u2013 the birthday of Susan B. Anthony<\/p>\n

March 29 \u2013 Viet Nam War Veterans\u2019 Day (yes, in addition to Nov. 11 being a day off school for \u201cregular\u201d Veterans\u2019 Day)<\/p>\n

September 11 \u2013 for September 11th<\/p>\n

The School Day immediately preceding Veterans\u2019 Day \u2013 for Korean War Veterans\u2019 Day (I guess because no commemoration happens on Veterans\u2019 Day itself?, again, really?)<\/p>\n

October 1 \u2013 Recycling Day<\/p>\n

October 7 \u2013 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Remembrance Day<\/p>\n

December 7 \u2013 Pearl Harbor Veterans\u2019 Day<\/p>\n

Which means that nearly every sort of veteran gets their own special day \u2013 except that you\u2019d think D-Day would be on there, and there\u2019s no Cold War Veterans\u2019 Day for all the veterans whose military service consisted of spending their days on military bases in Germany and their nights in the Biergartens.<\/p>\n

But in any event, Ford wants to add three more days in his bill:<\/p>\n

January 15 \u2013 Martin Luther King\u2019s actual birthday (never mind that there is already a day off school on his \u201cobserved\u201d birthday)<\/p>\n

April 4 \u2013 the date of Martin Luther King\u2019s assassination<\/p>\n

August 28 \u2013 the date of his \u201cI have a dream\u201d speech.<\/p>\n

The dates are to be named Humanitarian Day, \u201cobserved as a\u00a0day of respect for the principles of human and civil rights and\u00a0to involve the use of the color white as a visual affirmation\u00a0to practice these principles\u201d; Victims of Violence Wholly Day, \u201cobserved as a day of respect\u00a0for the principles of nonviolence and to involve the use of the color black as a visual affirmation to practice these\u00a0principles\u201d; and Dream Day, \u201cobserved\u00a0as a day of respect for the spiritual and moral principles of\u00a0peoplehood and to involve the use of the colors black and white\u00a0as a visual affirmation to practice these principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Funny, I thought it was a bad thing to associate white with goodness, and black with death.\u00a0 And what are the \u201cspiritual and moral principles of peoplehood\u201d that are distinct from \u201cthe principles of human and civil rights\u201d?)<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s move on \u2014 because I haven\u2019t even gotten to the amendment, and I haven\u2019t even tackled any of the things on my to-do list for the day yet.<\/p>\n

The bill was filed on February 13.\u00a0 And on February 28, Amendment 1 was added.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the key text from that amendment:<\/p>\n

In addition, the teaching of Black History must also\u00a0include all of the following areas:<\/p>\n

(1) The study of the American civil rights renaissance, that period of time from 1954 to 1965 called the Movement.<\/p>\n

(2) The study of the pre-enslavement history of Black people from 3,000 BCE to AD 1619, including instruction\u00a0about ancient civilizations, kingdoms, kings, queens, and\u00a0warriors; their contributions to medicine, literature,\u00a0technology, architecture, and economics; and their\u00a0achievements.<\/p>\n

(3) The study of the reasons why Black people came to\u00a0be enslaved.<\/p>\n

(4) The promotion of a commonality of identity for all\u00a0people to help with conflict resolution and to increase\u00a0self-worth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, indeed, Ford and his supporters want to teach \u201cAfrocentric\u201d history in which, alternatingly, either Egyptian history is deemed \u201cBlack\u201d history so that its early civilization\u00a0 is a \u201cBlack\u201d civilization, North African Islamic civilization is likewise deemed \u201cBlack,\u201d or the technological advancements of sub-Saharan kingdoms are exaggerated.\u00a0 And note that the state of Illinois has, in general, nothing to say about whether, or to what degree, students are instructed in the history of places outside the United States \u2014 there is no mandate to study European history, for instance, or even \u201cWorld History\u201d generically stated, even though students customarily do.\u00a0 All that\u2019s required<\/a> is two years of \u201csocial science,\u201d of which one must be U.S. history.<\/p>\n

Finally, Ford wants Black History instruction to include \u201cThe promotion of a commonality of identity for all\u00a0people to help with conflict resolution and to increase\u00a0self-worth.\u201d\u00a0 What does that mean, exactly?\u00a0 In particular, who are \u201call people\u201d?\u00a0 In principle, that could mean some variation of \u201cwe are all, regardless of skin color or ancestry, good and worthy people, and you should care about everyone regardless of whether they share your skin color or ancestry or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s look at some of what the speakers in Evanston said:<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack people did not begin with slavery. We built civilizations. We built kingdoms. We contributed to medicine, technology, literature. And these are things that children need to know \u2013 all children, not just Black children. If this bill passes, it will create a sense of self-identity, self-worth, self-knowledge, race identity. And it will help with race relations as well, because we will be starting it from kindergarten to twelfth grade,\u201d said Ms. [Meleika] Gardner. . . .<\/p>\n

Dr. Logan spoke about his experiences as an educator of students in elementary school through college. \u201cAt every single level, I\u2019ve had students, Black students in particular, who had no idea who we are as a people. I\u2019ve had white students, Latinx students, Asian students who had no idea who we are as Black people. \u2026 Carter G. Woodson, almost 100 years ago, talked about the miseducation of the Negro. \u2026That does not only impact the Negro, or the Black person or African American \u2013 it impacts us all. \u2026 We have all been miseducated by the system we are living in. This bill needs to be passed for the benefit of everyone,\u201d said Dr. [Gilo Kwesi] Logan. . . .<\/p>\n

At Evanston Township High School, some changes are being made to the elective Advanced Placement U.S. History course. \u201cWe are expanding it with a lens that allows students to explore their identity. Nicole Parker, the History Department Chair, is working with Shorefront [Legacy Center]. \u2026 We are making it so that students can see themselves in history,\u201d Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Pete Bavis told the RoundTable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, \u201cthe promotion of a commonality of identity for all\u00a0people\u201d does not mean that students should believe that we are all a part of the human race\u201d or that \u201cwe have more in common that unites us than what divides us.\u201d\u00a0 The only \u201ccommonality\u201d is that \u201cwe all have an identity\u201d \u2014 and, it would appear, the \u201ccommonality of identity\u201d must mean that \u201cjust as white students\u2019 ancestry can be traced back to civilizations with achievements in literature, the arts, and technology, so, too, can black students be equally proud of the achievement of their ancestors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, the RoundTable reporting also provided more context for the bill:<\/p>\n

HB4954 passed 14-7 when it went before the Illinois House Committee in early March. The state legislative session was suspended in response to COVID-19 in mid-March, when the bill was scheduled to go before the full Illinois House of Representatives for a vote. Supporters are now looking toward the fall legislative session for passage of the bill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the bills\u2019 supporters claimed that they had gained many new supporters who recognized the importance of their bill.\u00a0 Was that claimed support genuine, or the result of no one being willing to say what should be said, that this is nonsense?\u00a0 It would be dangerous indeed for this bill to become law, but the risk is greater than I\u2019d like, if politicians feel obliged to vote for it lest they be deemed insufficiently anti-racist.\u00a0 After all, how do you build a curriculum in which black children are explicitly taught about \u201crace identity\u201d without teaching white children exactly the sort of \u201crace identity\u201d lesson you don\u2019t<\/em> want them to learn?<\/p>\n
