i am surprised the kids did not know who marcus garvey was.t think -- you are describing a problem with history curriculum. i do not think it is an all- white committee or anything like that. the standards i have seen has been that there has been good representation on the committees. i think they're doing a good job. our country is a rainbow of people. we have a rich history. every group has contributed. african-americans have contributed a huge amount. they have not gone as much credit as they should. -- they have not gotten as much credit as they should. the common core standards do not have history standards. they focus on reading and math. the reading material for the reading standards include martin luther king's speeches, frederick douglass. it is a concern. i am sorry to hear the student in arizona did not know who marcus garvey was. i do not think that is generally a problem where we are neglecting vast areas of our history. host: we hear from a teacher next from chattanooga, tenn.. ken? caller: the first time i heard george bush say
