I'm always against using schools to push an ideology onto their captive audience, but if it's an elective it isn't really a captive audience. 

Even as a libright though I wouldn't support any class being allowed as long as it's elective. Would I support "AP White Heritage" to be taught in Alabama as an elective? Probably not.

I'm not hot or cold on this.

I get the “it’s an elective” argument, but in economics terms the problem here is opportunity cost.  Students only have so many classes they can take in 4 years of high school.  Allowing them to choose to take African American Studies means one of those class slots isn’t being used for math, science, language, etc.

As said, I don’t favor govt mandated schooling, but if we have it we should be directing curricula towards producing adults that have the best tools to succeed in adulthood.
