there's what teachers are required to do and what teachers choose to do. i am a product of US public schools and I can tell you that there's no mandate anywhere to ban students from researching the tulsa race riots or other racial massacres anywhere in the US. white teachers just don't want to hear about it, which is why it was banned at my school.
lol what makes you think if the guardrails were taken off that whites would not teach a glorified version of their own history? pointing to a white institution tying the hands of white people is fallacious because the institution also serves the people, not just the other way around.
What I'm saying is that forcing teachers to teach a white-focused curriculum leads primarily to only white teachers staying in the profession. Do you think it would be any better to have a bunch of PoC teachers teaching white history, or getting fired for teaching something anticolonial?

Yeah,banning stuff is a different story. I was talking specifically about teaching to the curriculum, which is itself white colonial focused
