Connecticut plans to mandate schools statewide offer African American, Latino and Puerto Rican-focused courses. - NBCBLK
Warren Leach, of the community group the Ungroup Society, said the teaching of just those two facets of black history can be a problem, especially for black students.
The group is in the middle of a major update to the curriculum of its classes. Leach said it is more important for white students to take classes like those the Ungroup taught, saying they should"look for as many perspectives as possible" when it comes to history. Wilby High School has seen expansion of its African-American history courses in recent years. Cazzie Iverson teaches the course and has done so for the past 20 years. The course used to be an elective that upperclassmen could take. Now it can count toward a student's general history credits required for graduation, so Iverson has a few freshmen in his classes.
Wayne Shuhi, a member of the Litchfield Board of Education, says the board hasn't discussed implementation of the law but thinks the classes it will be beneficial. "This is my 23rd year in the profession and I find kids to be more accepting as I get older," Gasper said.
