History and social studies curriculums in New York public schools could soon expand to become more diverse and inclusive, with many advocates and community leaders saying it’s about time.
Pacific Islander curriculum in social studies or history courses at public elementary, middle, and high schools across New York state.would directly address the fact that “Asian Americans have been scapegoated for everything from global pandemics to economic recession to international conflicts” and the way to eradicate anti-Asian hate for the long term is by educating students “so that they understand that Asian Americans have been a part of building America as much as anybody else has been.
Liu said that he himself remembers “some mention of Chinese immigrants building the railroads and Japanese Americans being thrown in prison during World War II” while he was a high school student at The Bronx High School of Science, but that the true education began when he was in college and served a leadership role in the Asian Student Union at Binghamton University.
“There’s a great deal of Asian Americans and other communities of color working, sometimes fighting, alongside each other,” Liu said. “But there seems to be too much in media nowadays that has the effect of driving a wedge between Asian Americans and other communities of color.” Kulsoom Tapal, the education policy coordinator at CACF, told amNewYorkMetro that the coalition isn’t asking for an elective or an extra, separate course to teach AANHPI history.
Any mention of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander history is also just nonexistent at this point, Tapal pointed out.
