James to answer your question, I wouldn't really call it offensive because I know teachers don't mean anything by it when they prepare their lesson plans and teach repeatedly about the KKK or about slavery. One thing I can say is that I wish in schools teachers would attempt to research the contributions and inventions that African Americans had accomplished in this country. Everytime black history is being taught it is always about slavery , the civil rights marches of the '50s and '60s , the white supremicists, and Martin Luther King . Not that I don't appreciate the struggles and the fight for equality thtat Martin Luther King had to endure, it's just that there's more to us and our history besides slavery thtat's not very often portrayed. For example, George Washington Carver and the discoveries he stampled upon on the many uses of the peanut plant.
