Four states have made teaching black history illegal if it induces guilt or shame

Evidence

Getting to Reparations sets out an argument for reparations and the path to getting them for black Americans in the twenty-first century. This book is written for skeptics, of which I counted myself one until very recently. Your objections were my objections. But what you will see unfold in these pages is a story that many people don’t want you to know. Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Utah (among others) are already making it illegal to teach this history to your children if it might make them feel guilt or shame. — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 44
