A former history teacher who now is a Democratic state lawmaker in Illinois is leading an effort to temporarily stop history classes in his state, contending they have helped form a racist society and overlook the contributions of women and minorities.
At a news conference on Sunday, state Rep. LaShawn K. Ford said that when "it comes to teaching history in Illinois, we need to end the miseducation of Illinoisans,"NBC Chicago reported.
"I’m calling on the Illinois State Board of Education and local school districts to take immediate action by removing current history books and curriculum practices that unfairly communicate our history," he said.

You can try to stop schools from teaching history all you want, but you can't stop us parents from doing it. I'm going to make sure my kids know !
