Lets read a little of the introduction, shall we:

As early as the 1970s, some California public high schools began offering Ethnic Studies, positing that courses in the field would provide an opportunity to engage the hxrstory , cultures, contributions, perspectives, and experiences of groups that have been overlooked, hxrstorically marginalized, and often subjected to invisibility within mainstream courses. Numerous student outcome benefits of Ethnic Studies have been documented. The implementation of Ethnic Studies presents an opportunity for teachers to develop culturally/community relevant and responsive pedagogies that are both revitalizing and sustaining, help schools better connect with native students and students of color, equip all students with the skills and knowledge to think critically about the world around them and to tell their own stories, empower students to be engaged socially and politically, enable students to develop a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and inclusion, and aids in the eradication of bigotry, hate, and racism. In essence, Ethnic Studies helps improve the U.S. democracy by encouraging the participation of all students at all political, social, and economic levels.

From the glossary:

Hxrstory- pronounced the same as “herstory,” hxrstory is used to describe history written from a more gender inclusive perspective. The “x” is used to disrupt the often rigid gender binarist approach to telling history.

In education, what is often called the “achievement gap” between students of different racial backgrounds, is recontextualized by Ethnic Studies as the opportunity gap, and/or what Gloria Ladson-Billings framed as the education debt in her 2006 presidential address to the American Education Research Association. This debt refers to what students of color in the United States are owed after centuries of educational trauma, dehumanization, and enforced sociopolitical, cultural-historical, economic, and moral constraints via the education system. As a field catalyzed by a righteous angst for justice and access to knowledge (rather than merely “closing a gap”), Ethnic Studies intentionally works toward helping pay this education debt. Students are asked to “achieve academic success” in a humanizing and critically conscious way, while demanding the education system reconsider what constitutes the parameters of academic success. Ethnic Studies has created a space for all students to learn about and analyze their identities and hxrstories, feel proud of them, and actualize their full humanity. This is supported by the National Education Association report by Christine Sleeter about the academic and social value of Ethnic Studies.

Content and Language Objectives:

1. Years after slavery, many African-Americans continue to live in poverty because of racist, discriminatory laws.

3. Where you live can determine the opportunities have and how successful you are in life.

4. In instances such as these, should African-Americans receive reparations from the government for institutional injustices?

Accompliceship- the process of building relationships grounded in trust and accountability with marginalized people and groups. Being an accomplice involves attacking colonial structures and ideas by using one’s privilege and giving up power and position in solidarity with those on the social, political, religious, and economic margins of society. This is in contrast to the contested notion of allyship which is often performative, superficial, and disconnected from the anticolonial struggle.

Heteropatriarchy- a system of society in which men and heterosexuals (especially heterosexual men) are privileged, dominant, and hold power.

Net worth by race- the disparity or inequality of wealth among races, specifically when it comes to financial capital in resources, income and savings.

People of color- someone who is not white. People of color as a collective identity emerged as a response to systemic racism and to assert resistance and solidarity against white supremacy. People of color are a global majority.

Womanism- a term that was coined by Alice Walker in response to mainstream feminism’s focus on White women. Womanism emerged as a distinct space to advocate and fight for issues concerning Black women.

Capitalism- an economic and political system in which industry and trade are based on a “free market” and largely controlled by private companies instead of the government. Within Ethnic Studies, scholars are often very critical of the system of capitalism as research has shown that Native people and people of color are disproportionately exploited within the system. In a capitalist economy, surplus value (profit) is generated from human labor and everything is commodified.

Otherwise they'd notice that people of color treat other people of color extremely badly.
