It's not just just at universities. It's on television, social media etc. Our youngest kid is 14 and it's amazing the shite these kids and young adults are exposed to.

That’s for a MATH class? WTF. That teacher should be fired. That’s ridiculous. And rather fringe/radical.

The noble indigenous man riding his mighty steed across the land. Nonsense. Only after the Spanish brought horses across the Atlantic did the natives have a beast of burden other than their women. Wheels? ha. Primitive metal work? Ha. Now knapping flints was where they excelled. And Working hides.
Let's not forget the cosmopolitan ritual of human sacrifice. Too bad those evil colonizers stopped this noble practice.

The only difference between Europeans and Indians was capability, not intent.
If this lady thinks for a second the Indians simply chose not to colonize Europe she’s an idiot. They were conquering each other as fast as they could

"Our course takes place on land that European colonizers stole from Indigenous people through violence. The Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo), Peoria, Sauk and Meskwaki, Bodéwadmiakiwen (Potawatomi), Miami, and Oceti Šakówin (Sioux) peoples lived and shepherded the land that is now considered (name of current town where university is). Further, enslaved people, who were primarily Indigenous and of African descent
Whoever wrote that does not know what "indigenous" means and is just using it as a codeword for "good, non-europeans." And people of European descent are evil.

A Chinese agent acting to subvert the minds of US students. Send that a-hole back to their Chinese utopia.

I agree but that assumes they're actually interested in the truth. There's no good faith here. They're just trying to get white kids to hate themselves.

That's exactly what this is and a lot of them don't even realize it. My daughter will say some things sometimes where I'll feel compelled to make a counter argument as to why I think that's BS.
I hope she's at least somewhat listening. Your dad isn't exactly the coolest person to you when you are 14.

fall, in these type of situations where you hear your kids say something you know they’ve been coached or taught that is nonsense. Where/How do you get material or references to educate them?
reason I ask is I want my kids to learn non PC American History. The stuff you and I learned. But I’m not sure where to get the books, materials, or make the time to do so

Tell your kid to ask this teacher if this teacher lives in a house with a mortgage. If so, have your kid request the teacher give the house to an indigenous person while still paying the mortgage. If the teacher says "NO", then have your kid tell the teacher how irresponsible the teacher is acting. How could the teacher engage in social justice and equity work while living on stolen land, knowing it was stolen, and not give it back?
Your kid needs to tell this teacher that this type of unethical behavior demands that the teacher resign immediately.
Actually, your kid should demand that this teacher move to another country too since this teacher has no right to live on stolen land. The teacher is trespassing.

Just poor immigrants looking for a better life and bringing much needed diversity to the racist natives.

My daughter goes to a fairly conservative private school so I haven't had as many issues with her school curriculum as I have with things she's exposed to in pop culture and social media (you'll have a hard time keeping them off of it too).
She's definitely said things to me like "that's because she's a privileged white woman" or something similar. She learned that somewhere and is just parroting what she's heard. Through trial and error, I've found the absolute worst thing I can do is start called them "dumbass kids" or whatever
She's old enough where I'll just engage in conversation as to why she thinks that person's skin color had anything to do with a certain situation or outcome. She'll tell me and I'll make counter arguments. It's a different world than I grew up in for sure.

Show me a piece of land in the world that wasn't stolen from other people by violence at one point or another. Every square inch of the world has been conquered by violence.

Small ones are usually much worse than say, a big state school. Smaller the college, the more air tight the echo chamber is. Big state schools have more diverse thought.

The natives that proceeded them. There were multiple waves of immigration over the land bridge from Asia over several thousand years.
And I haven't even touched on all the fun surrounding the Aztec and Maya.
