The Dallas County Commissioners Court passed a resolution on Tuesday supporting the teaching of comprehensive Black history.
Commissioners agreed that systemic racism negatively affects the health, welfare and economic opportunities of nonwhite people in Texas and should be studied in public schools and universities. Commissioner John Wiley Price, who brought forward the resolution, said public policy over the years has embedded racist actions, including redlining in Dallas neighborhoods and health and transit disparities.The debate over how to teach Black history flared up in recent weeks after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis denounced the College Board’s Advanced Placement African American Studies course.
The course is currently in a pilot phase. Topics discussed in the experimental course included Black Lives Matter, reparations and Black incarceration over the years. Last week, the College Board updated the curriculum, cutting such topics, but released a statement saying that political debates did not play a factor in the decision.
The resolution accused state legislatures in Florida and Texas of using critical race theory as a “lightning rod.” Price said in an interview the Commissioners Court commends Dallas ISD, where the state-specific African American history course wasand garnered widespread support. The AP African American Studies course is not currently offered in DISD, but three other schools in the state are teaching it as part of a pilot program.
