Black History Month lessons stopped?

February is Black History Month in the United States, so English teacher Mercedes Liriano Clarke of M.S. 224 in the Bronx felt it was vital to inform her students of the struggles people of color have faced in our country. At a rally outside M.S. 224 Monday afternoon, teachers, parents, and activists came together to support the ELA teacher. Liriano Clarke claims that on February 7 Principal Patricia Catania tried to prohibit her from teaching black history.
