I remember from my almost five decades in the public-school system the ongoing conversation we often had about minorities and women and their underrepresentation in the history curriculum. Specifically, in our American history courses, was it really possible (or even logical) to conclude that almost all the important contributions over the years were made by white males?
The good news is that there now appears to be a genuine effort in public education to present history in a more factual and balanced manner.
