I would certainly check out the total curriculum for one discipline before
criticising one particular section of it. It is quite likely that the
"diversity curriculum" is missing altogether or extremely weak. It would
then make sense to review and revise one discipline, e.g. English, from
K-12.

I went to Open House at my son's high school last night. I met
excellent teachers who are doing a good job. However, as usual, I
found the English curriculum to be severely lacking, even shameful.
In my son's Advanced Placement English course, there is not a single
major work by an author of color or by a women, not even by a US
author!...........................................
