I agree, Rob - but is that something we should add to our 9th grade history books? Or is that humanities class in college.

I don't understand how you can say civil rights are different from human rights. And I don't understand how you are still trying to justify the position that we shouldn't talk to students in public schools about human rights.

So, what do you think we should tell students regarding the Civil War? WWII? The Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights? The Suffrage Movement?

Why is it so controversial to agree on a set of fundamental human rights and to support those in our schools? We have our students say the pledge of allegiance, which is filled with questionable, debatable statements, yet we have decided it is a value set that is important to pass on to our kids. So there is obviousy a precedent set here, the notion of supporting human rights (or values in general - schools teach sharing, kindness, etc.) in school curricula is far from a revolutionary idea.
