Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who is currently a free agent, apparently has a problem with white people teaching his seven children.
"Something alarming happened when my daughter came home. ... She said, 'Dad, a white person is teaching us about black history,' and I was like, 'Yo, that's not right,'" Newton said.
“If a white person is teaching about black history, can a black person teach about Caucasian history [or] European history?” he asked. “You could, but there's gonna be some things that are left out,” like “s***ery [and] how Africans moved to America.”
One of Newton’s interviewers had her own bit to add. “They’re not letting black teachers…” she trailed off, insinuating that black educators are being barred from teaching in schools.
“Black teachers have been banned, and white teachers don't teach about s***ery, and Cam Newton has no responsibility to teach his own kids about history,” sighs Whitlock in staunch disagreement with Newton’s perspective.
“Black professors or teachers certainly can teach European history,” adds Delano Squires, who agrees that Newton should assume the responsibility of teaching his children about history.
“I think all of this colorized history is a mistake. ... We just need to teach American history, and that should be universal to everybody,” says Whitlock.
Squires, however, does find value in teaching black history specifically.
“There are certain facts of history — a certain battle took place on this particular day, a certain event took place on another day — but the perspective on those issues is very much different,” he explains. “Consider how different ... the death of G****e F***d will be taught in schools 50 years from now, depending on whether you have a teacher who has, let's say, more pro-law enforcement leanings as opposed to one who has more pro-B*M leanings.”
Both types of teachers will convey that “yes, this man died on this particular day, but how he died, how they characterize it, [and] the terms that they use will be very much different, depending on who shapes the narrative,” he tells Whitlock.
