Delaware students will soon receive more comprehensive lessons about Black history, after the Senate approved legislation requiring it to be taught in schools. The bill, which passed the House 33-7 with one abstention in April, was approved 16-5 Thursday and now awaits Gov. John Carney’s signature. All opposition came from Republicans.
- People should pull their children out of the schools and do home schooling. — Shawn McGrath
- Because of Black history education? — Benjamin Black
- Because our schools are pushing critical race theory, and it’s disgusting and wrongminded. — Shawn McGrath
- I learned Black history when I grew up. I never knew that they didn’t teach it now. How about teaching history about communism, socialism, how this country fought for independence and some math? — Bob Hice
- Schools teaching children to be responsible citizens? Isn’t that the parent’s job? — Nichole Lea
