Hi all,
I wanted to pose a question to you:
How would you personally determine whether a minority group is being fairly represented in a history textbook? Would the fairest way be to create state-specific textbook based on the state's population make-up? For example, if CA's population is 30% Hispanic, then would it be fair to state that 30% of all history textbooks in CA should cover the Latino history and experience?
What about the experiences and history that is already covered? Do you think that minority experiences and histories are being represented fairly in our textbooks???
