I agree that the world outside Europe should receive a more proportionate level of time and study in school courses. I do not think separate schools to cater to African history are the answer (will they give adequate time to Asian history? Native American history? etc.?). I do not think teaching false information is the answer. The part about the first university worries me. Are they talking about Alexandria? While a center of learning, I don't believe it was a 'university' per se, and it was the product of Hellenic culture after that part of Africa was invaded by outsiders. I agree with Vlad's worry that there will be no distinction between northern and sub-saharan Africa. While it is right to recognize the achievements of northern Africans as 'African achievements,' there is a great danger of tying the whole thing into modern western race relations. When people take things out of context, misinformation results, and that usually fails to make people smarter.
