3 Things Schools Should Teach About America’s History of White Supremacy

Lesson plans tend to gloss over the U.S.’s deeply entrenched institutional racism. Here’s what should be added. When it comes to how deeply embedded racism is in American society, Black and White people have sharply different views. For instance, 70 percent of White people believe that individual discrimination is a bigger problem than discrimination built into the nation’s laws and institutions. Only 48 percent of Black people believe that is true.
