re: Utah school allowing parents to opt students out of Black History Month curriculum

True story: During Black History Month one year, a guy that worked with me, asked me " Have you ever heard of Dr. Charles Drew?" I told him, "that's the doctor that invented the process of separating plasma from blood to make it more storable and useable. He was a Black guy." First, he was shocked that I knew that bit of trivia, then he wanted to know how I had known that? I told him that I had learned about that in 5th or 6th grade, that would have been around 1970. He called me every kind of liar, and said that schools didn't teach things like that about Black people. I just told him that he must not have been a very good student. He refused to believe that I had learned that in school.
