Teach AAPI History in our schools

Anti-Asian hate has much deeper roots than Covid 19. The pandemic simply uncovered the systemic failure of our education system to teach about AAPI in America. Despite the census reporting that Asian Americans are the fastest-growing minority group in Texas, numbering about 2 million, they remain perpetual foreigners in many minds. 

Combating racist stereotypes, discrimination, and xenophobia cannot wait any longer, and it must start with educating the young generation. Only by adding Asian American history to our systems can we create a society that is more united and compassionate to each other. Texas students of all races and ethnicities must learn Asian American history in order to have a well-rounded understanding of ourselves.

We must teach Asian American Pacific Islander history in Texas public school curriculums. American history without Asian American history is not complete.
