Taught students a/b Woodrow Wilson’s 14-Point Plan in the first half of SS class, then showed how he endorsed segregation by allowing it in the federal gov’t workforce. Also added his screening of The Birth Of A Nation in the White House along w/ a clip of the film. #nced #ncpol I added he lived for a few yrs in Wilmington, NC, the site of the Wilmington Coup, & briefly attended @DavidsonCollege for the in-state connection. His father, a Presbyterian minister, helped organize the Presbyterian Church of the Confederacy. #nced #ncpol

“Even though people over the last year said, ‘Black Lives Matter,’ when it comes to the education system and things like that, not only do Black lives not matter, Black history doesn't matter either,” Scott said. dailytarheel.com/article/2021/0… I concur with @truthminista . Amend this bill to include Black history. I’d go a step further to include the histories of other groups such as Indigenous people. You want a bill for something that happened on another continent but not for what happened here? #nced #ncpol
