Recently, teachers gathered in over 30 US cities under the motto "Teach Truth".In Milwaukee they met at the scene of a lynch murder, in Memphis at the point where the Ku Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest had a slave market a good 150 years ago.In a petition, thousands promised to teach the truth: »We, the signing teachers, refuse to lie to young people about history and current events - no matter what the law prescribes."
With the attempt to seize the sovereignty of interpretation of the US history, some states react to the fact that many schools have made racism since the murder of George Floyd and the flare of the Black-Lives-Matter movement more.. Ebenso stören vor allem Südstaaten sich an der »critical race theory", die Rassismus als systemisch und strukturell kritisiert, statt ihn nur Einzelakteuren zuzuschreiben.This approach is also controversial among historians;Some see it a simplified and narrowing theory that reduces every conflict and problem to a structure of power in which white systematically suppress people of other skin color.
