Do you have humor on your planet? If so, is it ever used in common situations or just saved for formal celebrations and holidays?

Thanks for the humor

Students who enroll in classes that include anti-racism and diversity education have a higher rate of graduating and attending college.

Ethnic studies increases longer-run academic engagement and attainment

Anti-racist curricula and teaching methods are a potentially potent way for schools to better promote a just society and improve educational outcomes for low-income students and students of color. Ethnic studies (ES) courses in K–12 schools are an increasingly common and prominent example of such culturally relevant and critically engaged practice. Proponents tout the benefits of ES for increasing student engagement and academic outcomes, yet there is little causal evidence supporting these claims. In this study, we use a preregistered regression-discontinuity research design to identify the longer-term impacts on educational attainment and engagement of being assigned to an ES course in grade 9. We find that assignment to ES substantially increased high school graduation, attendance, and the probability of enrolling in college.

During Reconstruction, Thanksgiving was embraced by Black families—with many dishes linked to the food of slavery, and some representing the glory of freedom.

[...] In January 1675, Christian Indian John Sassamon warned Plymouth Colony that Philip planned to attack English settlements. The English ignored the warning and soon found Sassamon’s murdered body in an icy pond.

A jury made up of colonists and Indians found three Wampanoag men guilty for Sassamon’s murder and hanged them on June 8, 1675. Their execution incensed Philip, whom the English had accused of plotting Sassamon’s murder, and ignited tensions between the Wampanoag and the colonists, setting the stage for war [....]

The Spanish mission was to conquer Florida.

The Spanish Christians had the same morals as the Native Americans, the supposed heathens.

It is not taught because it would make white children feel bad.

Not that a bit of slavery compares to a centuries-long genocidal war celebrated by Chile's epic poem, La Araucana.
