Summary:
"Racism is woven into the history of the United States. But while some people think that it's just history and isn't necessary in today's schools, other people believe racism is still a big issue in the United States and should be taught in schools. While some people think learning about racism will only sow more divisions, other people say it is necessary to teach anti-racism to prevent racism in the future. This book covers this important topic in a relatable and age-appropriate way for young students. Readers will be able to read arguments on both sides of the debate and consider the facts. Then, they are encouraged to use those facts and their own experience to inform their point of view. This book will teach essential critical thinking skills through the lens of a hot issue in America today." Provided by publisher.
