Ontario adding mandatory Black history learning to Grades 7, 8 and 10 history courses : ontario

Holy frick what a cucked country

learning on the contributions of Black Canadians to history

Wouldn't this just be Canadian history? Why weren't they already teaching anything about the 6 black people that have lived there?

It's funny because my kid in grade 6 told me yesterday that:

"The only thing we learn about history is that white people were mean to black people."

I was in elementary about 15 years ago and the was more or less my experience too. I remember we watched Martin Luther king's “I have a dream” speech, and had a brief class about the civil rights movement that wrapped up with a generic racism is bad message. After that we never touched on it again in either elementary or high school.

I think this is a really good step in the right direction. Black and African-Canadians and their communities have always been a part of Canadian history. To omit it imo brings shame to our education system. We shouldn't be fighting over who's history we should teach, it really doesn't have to be a competition. We should be fighting to teach our country's full and accurate history to our youth.

How do you read that comment and think it's a step in the right direction?

the three black people in canada must be stoked

Kind of telling that all the black history events everyone in the comments is talking about are American history and not Canadian

BASED BASED BASED

There are black people in canada

Can burgercels just acknowledge the leafs? They so want your validation.
