Support our mission to implement a required unit into the curriculum

A required unit is absolutely essential to ensuring students have a well-rounded understanding of American history. Today, students have no idea the struggle women faced and the work needed to overcome them. Lack of role models for young girls, lack of representation, and lack of knowledge limits the inclusion and success of your daughters, mothers, sisters, etc. Furthermore, men lack this education too. How can students vote on new policies surrounding women's rights without basic understanding of them?

To not require this education is to suggest women's history as secondary, as optional, as unimportant.

Ask yourself

Does your daughter, your sister, know her history? Does she know her rights? Does she know how to recognize when she's being discriminated against? Does she know how to speak up against discrimination?
