Since African American history is a necessary part of American history, I don't understand how anyone could object to history teachers having to "complete instruction in African American history." That seems like common sense. Would anyone seriously argue that history teachers should NOT know African American history? I had to look up the term "cultural competency," and found this definition: "the ability to interact effectively with people from different cultures. This ability depends on awareness of one's own cultural worldview, knowledge of other cultural practices and worldviews, tolerant attitudes towards cultural differences, and cross-cultural skills." Again, who could possibly want teachers to NOT have such fundamental skills? This bill is all common sense.
