World history often contains moments of violence or discrimination. These moments will not be glorified in this class, but will be mentioned when appropriate for the high school level. Parental guidance is always suggested throughout this class, especially for sensitive students. This class covers time periods in world history that deal with problems of racism and discrimination, as well as efforts made to correct those problems in the legal, economic, and societal institutions. This class will utilize primary documents from a variety of sources to give voice to those marginalized groups throughout those struggles. Parental guidance is always encouraged to help students evaluate those ideas and struggles in world history.
