Thet issue is a proposed curriculum review in Jefferson County that could revise AP U.S. History to promote positive aspects of U.S. history and heritage, while avoiding material on civil disorder and social strife. Our entire history, things that changed America for the better, were acts of civil disobedience, said Debbie Velarde, a junior at Wheat Ridge High School which also had a smaller walkout of about 40 students. The Declaration of Independence was an act of civil disobedience. An idea is to censor U.S. history so they cant talk about some of the negatives, or they dont want to talk about civil disobedience, which is censorship, said Arvada West junior Cole Cuttitta. And censorships communism, censorships national socialism, censorship is terrible. Tuesday was the third consecutive school day that has been disrupted by protests.
