Intro: In the past few weeks during Hate on the Net, we have learned that many humans that end up in White Supremacist groups end up their because they are vulnurable, and very easily manipulated. This allows leaders of these different groups to pray on them very easily through different types of propaganda. Our group decided that if these easily manipulated humans were better educated about different races and religions, they would be less vulnerable to be swayed by the White Supremacist leaders. This is why our page is dedicated to a more fair, and more diverse, education.

**Black History in America-**
W.E.B Dubois, (Teacher, and Civil Rights Activist) Marcus Garvey, (Civil Rights Ambasssador)

Students all across America think that they are not ignorant when it comes to Black History. Most say that they get enough education because they spend some time in class on Black History Month talking about Martin Luther King Jr. Sometimes, the ones that think they are learning everything there is to know about African American history learn about King Jr. along with a couple things about Malcom X. The truth is, these two people weren't the only two Black people who ever did anything successful for Black History. Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, and W.E.B Dubois helped to educate African American adults and children, and at the same time, devoted their life to the civil rights unit. You are a very optimistic person if you believe that kids all around the country are learning about these great leaders. Besides Black History in America, another problem that goes on with teaching in America is the lack of African history. During High School, all students across the country take a course on Western Civilization, which talks about how great White Europeans were throughout history, and how those civilizations were modeled by the America when it was created. This is the curriculum for a year. There are not many, if any at all, Blacks students that are studied in Western Civilization. This would be an understandable curriculum as long as their was also an African Civilizations class being taught as well. It is not all white people that shaped America so it shouldn't be all white people that are studied on the shaping of America.

Jewish History in America-
Albert Einstein-(Scientist, Invented Lightbulb) Henry Kissinger-(Secretary of State, Diplomat)

﻿If you are a high school student in America, you have learned about the Holocaust. You have learned about the execution of Six Million Jews, and all the other atrocities commited by Nazis. At that point in History is where students get their only knowledge about Jews though. In the normal history lessons for teachers, none talk about the impact that American Jews have made in America. For example, Albert Einstein is the most famous scientist of all time, and without him we wouldn't be nearly as advanced of a species. A lot of people still do not know that he was a Jewish American. When teachers talk about Einstein they usually don't mention his religion. Another important figure in America that is Jewish is Henry Kissinger, who successfully started the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. It is a great thing that teachers talk about how horrible the Holocaust was, but at the same time, Jews want to be remembered for their achievments, not just for their execution.

Latino History in America-
Severo Ochoa-(Scientist, Medicine) Carlos Juan Finley-(Medicine) No textbooks in America ever show Hispanic Culture troughout this country's history. The only time anyone learns about hispanic culture is when the Mexico war was fought in the 1840's. The truth is that those were not hispanic americans, those were mexicans. No student ever learns about the impact that Hispanic Americans have had on this country in advancing and progressing the United States. Severo Ochoa, a Hispanic American, won a novel peace prize for the work he did on creating RNA in a test tube. This discovery was vital to the knowledge of a human cell. Carlos Juan Finley was actually the man who, through his research, discovered the cause of Yellow Fever. Both of these men are some of many Hispanics who have made huge contributions, which are never taught in the classrooms of America. Its not hard to figure out why we stereotype that Hispanics are lazy.

Conlusion: If textbooks continue with the one sided, one culture view on American History, all of these men, and eventually all of these cultures will have no recognition for any of their contributions. America is not 100 percent White Christian. It is a melting pot of cultures. This means that the curriculum should carry that same diverstiy and not just show the Aryan history.
