I think it should be part of the main stream teaching and not a separate teaching all by itself.

Washington is only one of many examples of this.

I think that one of the downfalls of the present school system is that not only do the schools not teach truthful history, they do not teach a complete history.
Washington was a great guy, don't get me wrong here. However , he was not the military "genius" that our history teachers have made mim out to be.. Of the twelve battles that Washington led, he only won three of them. ... Here I was thinking that Washington was some "super hero" of American history, only to be dashed by the truth.. Washington is only one of many examples of this.

When you say white history month, what do you mean by that?
Skin color, because a lot of people fall into that category. Do you mean cultural background? Or do you mean the history of the country of which you currently reside?
Eg. This could include, Russians, Scandinavians, Italians, Greeks, Britsh, etc. Also how do you determine who qualifies for white history month?

Teach all the great facts about what people, of all colors, did in history... but teach it as part of the normal every-day school day and not as something separate.
I'm just tired of being beaten down and told my whiteness is unimportant next to celebrating everyone elses. I, nor did any of my family own slaves, beat Mexican, work asians to the bone. Quit generalizing the rest of US who did nothing to you.
