The Francis Howell School District is offering black history and black literature courses as high school electives.
Board members voted in favor of the classes at a recent board meeting and heard strong voices both in support of and against the decision.
The American flag waves in front of Francis Howell North High School, but there s a debate on how the history it stands for should be taught in regards to race. We need to nip this in the bud. I m here tonight to rise in opposition to the proposed BH and BL curriculum as designed, Gordon Midgley said. It is laced with attendance and language of critical race theory and other leftist indoctrination.
