"We know that the history books that we have were written years ago, decades, centuries ago by pretty much one group of people, and that's white men," Ford told host Sandra Smith. "And we know that it's not a perfect accounting [of] the contributions that women have made, that Black people have made, and it's just not right that we continue to teach people an inaccurate history."
What Pre-Slavery Blacks? Before Arabs and Europeans invaded Africa, Tribe [A] was conquering and enslaving Tribe [B]. Both tribes were Black, African. ?
Regarding history books, surely Blacks running schools and school boards know how to order Black written history books from Black bookstores, Amazon and other sources. ?
It’s doubtful, that Black schools in Chicago, Harvey and Maywood would solely use White written history books. No way! ?
Also, no history of any group is always 100% accurate, because there’s too much (un)known information. ?
Has Mr. Ford tried the Internet? Lots of Black History is online. ?

It’s not a perfect accounting, nothing is perfect Mr. Ford, but for the governor of Illinois to make into law to teach the history of the LGTBQ in schools is that considered perfect, no it’s despicable to teach this to the younger children. Hum, maybe you need to go back to school and learn history, get off your band wagon.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Who knows if this joker can even read?
