Every generation has had problems with OPPRESSION against a targeted people group. Some people have never had or felt oppression due to race/tribal conditions or social upbringing.
So should these types of topics be required education for those in K-12?
The answer is simple. The young students who have parents or other close family members who went through these oppression (within the last 200-400 years or so) will KNOW and understand these sufferings. If the child is not dependent upon the parent, he or she may not recognize the problems, unless they are taught or exposed.
As a result, a sort of "graduation requirement" or "employment requirement" should be in place for a basic "school" (only SOME public schools in SOME states require this education, yet even Public schools are selective on what they share). A place of employment may have a "back ground check," but they may not know if a person has had proper education in the given list above. Employers should make sure that all with an "eighth grade education" or above, have been offered and pass a class or education session that exposes the person to the given topics.
I believe that if a person is wise, they will not offer employment to person's who have not encountered such education and proper knowledge about such situations. A High School diploma isn't "good enough" for ability to work in some environments.
