Blast the teacher and inform the principal that this is racist. Ask if this is approved curriculum by the school board and if they say yes, go to the school board meeting. I don't know your state or area, but in my area a teacher tried to teach BLM and got shut the fuck down by parents going to the school board. If your board is elected you'll have an even greater chance because this is such a polarizing issue. Make waves as uncomfortable as it makes you. Schools want as little conflict as possible, make it known you will bring conflict until this book is out.

Good to hear, i actually sent the principal a message asking this very question about the curriculum

Ask him to cite the standard that this book teaches. For example, in Florida if I was teaching about WWII I could cite this standard:

SS.912.A.6.1 Examine causes, course, and consequences of World War II on the United States and the world.

Now it's obviously quite broad and commie teachers could teach the joys of communism and still technically hit the standard, but your district probably has a pretty clear curriculum guide that narrows it down a bit further. Either way, I'd find it hard to believe that "making white people uncomfortable" is a standard, but we are living in 🤡🌎 so it wouldn't surprise me.

I know you don't want to be doxxed but if you give me the grade, subject and state, I can help you research this and dig into the standards to give you great legal ammo to stop this.
