This petition is to urge the Board of Education to include other races/cultures to the British-American centrist History textbooks in a timeline fashion, rather than merely add tidbits of the Native-American, African-American and Hispanic-American history as is currently done and as they have done for many decades. Begin with the Native-American history timeline and add other races and cultures as they arrived and impacted each other, progressing to others as they arrived. When I was in secondary school, the few things taught about Native-Americans is that they were all savages and that George Washington Carver invented peanut butter. As much as I love peanut butter, African-Americans invented much more substantial products that scarcely a mention, if they are mentioned at all.
