"We received a 24 -page document, said the Democratic Party member of the Democratic Party of Dezhou Education. In the proposal of the second grade textbooks in the working group, I found that they recommend using the word" non -voluntary relocation 'to instead instead of instead 'Slavery'. "

In the draft course, the slave trade during the United States colonial period was described as the "non -voluntary relocation" of the African people, and compared with the voluntary immigrants from Ireland to the United States.

It is reported that if it is proposed, students from more than 9,000 schools in Dezhou will be affected.

According to the Washington Post, Davis immediately questioned after the censorship, "The Irish journey is completely different from slave trade." She said that any comparison "will distort many things in children's minds", which is absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolute unfair.

The incident caused anger in social media. Former Houston Police Director Asevido called it "fans history" and said that he "denied that slavery people were as dangerous as those who denied the massacre."

Davis believes that the proposal of the working group may receive the impact of the No. 3 Act issued by the US Senate last year. Davis described this law as the "Anti -Critical Race theory Act", which clearly states that "critical racial remarks" cannot appear in the textbook, which makes students feel uncomfortable.

The amendments to slavery descriptions were rejected by the State Education Commission. Kevin Elis, chairman of the State Education Commission, said that the committee "unanimously voted to decide to return the suggestion to the re -modification."

Ellis reiterated that students will learn the true history of slavery, and the term "non -voluntary relocation" does not "depict the clear full picture of the African people who have been enslaved."

The group that put forward this proposal consists of nine education experts, who are responsible for studying social courses and providing suggestions to the Texas Commission. According to a list on the website of the education institution, 9 people include teachers, social research experts and university professors.

According to the United Nations, from the sixteenth century to the 19th century, 17 million slaves were sold from Africa to the Americas and Europe. During the journey for several months, groups of black people were tied up by shackles. Cruel, dark work. Cross -Atlantic slave trade lasts for 400 years, and is the worst human rights violation in human history.
