Curriculum

Key concerns raised to the  NH School Board was that local history should be included in the education of our K-12 students; the curriculum should include all history in an integrated manner, not just Women’s History, Black History, etc.; there is an apparent amnesia about history, leaving out important people and events and “erased” history that should be brought back.  

The curriculum is biased towards a European/post-colonial self-centric perspective. RUT would like to see the curriculum actively advocate broader perspectives, including that of the colonized, the disenfranchised, the defeated, and the conquered, not just that of the colonizer   

In its report to the NH DOE the Racial Unity Team  also indicated that to assure that racial diversity and inclusion concerns are adequately addressed, there is a need to look at applicable laws to help bring about such changes.
