Illinois state Rep. LaShawn K. Ford is proposing that public schools do away with current history curriculums that allegedly drive white privilege and racism.
The democratic lawmaker spoke at a news conference in Evanston, near Chicago, on Sunday to urge the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBOE) to rework its criteria history classes. He also compelled schools to stop teaching the subject until adequate course revisions are made. Ford argued the state's history curriculums do not sufficiently focus on contributions by women, members of Black, Jewish and LGBTQ communities, and other groups, according to a press release issued by his office and published by NBC Chicago.
"When it comes to teaching history in Illinois, we need to end the miseducation of Illinoisans," Ford said in a statement included in the press release. "I'm calling on the Illinois State Board of Education and local school districts to take immediate action by removing current history books and curriculum practices that unfairly communicate our history.
