Had to put aside the normal textbooks, no doubt.I had a high school class that discussed racism in US History at length. It was one of my favorite classes and we had a GREAT teacher. She did not teach that all white people are racist or all white people are bad. It was matter of fact, non-judgmental truth about one of our darker chapters in the past few hundred years.
We also learned about American Indian history, Andrew Jackson, and his Trail of Tears. This was not to make anyone feel bad or make them feel guilty. It's part of our history.
