Perceptions on racism and race relations comes from the home. Children are impacted positively by teaching accurate and impartial history not wokeism and indoctrination. I propose we teach the same accurate impartial patriotic history we teach Naturalized citizens. Telling white students and educators they are predisposed to implicit bias and black students they are victims is both false and ridiculous.

I have said in many venues that the most RACIST part of education is the LACK of EDUCATION!! A whopping 92% of all black children in the Lansing public schools are not proficient in any subject on the M-step. This is racism. These statistics are consistent in Detroit, Flint, Benton Harbor, etc. There are laws to protect students against bullying and against discrimination and yet schools fail to deal with their primary function: EDUCATION. Woke school boards are being sued for an enormous amount of money due to cancel culture and hasty firings for alleged racism (Grand Ledge). Wear a MAGA hat and instantly you are considered a racist right-winger. Yet, the DEI report for the Lansing public schools shows evidence of racism and blatant discrimination. NOTHING is done to combat it. Black children are targeted for suspension and expulsion significantly more than white students. This is overt racism that is NOT BEING ADDRESSED!

There’s nothing in the law that requires certain books be placed in a public school library. If parents have a concern, they must be heard and heeded (MCL 380.10). Pornography must be eliminated from libraries.
