On NPR, a proponent of getting rid of the mission project asked the reporter rhetorically: "we don't ask fourth graders to build models of concentration camps or slave plantations, do we?"
California public school fourth grade curriculum on missions will be replaced with "everything from the role of LGBTQ figures in shaping the state to how trade routes between Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe impacted nations and their people."
