Learning about actual events in history is not teaching hate. It’s called learning from past transgressions so they are never repeated. For example, many Americans blind loyalty to Donald Trump since 2016 is eerily similar to how Hitler rose to power in Germany, and Stalin and Mussolini in Russia and Italy, respectively. Which is one of many reasons what’s currently happening with Trump should scare all Americans.
I guess we shouldn’t teach people about the Holocaust, either. We don’t just get to ignore the parts of history we don’t like.
The dashboards are real nice, but the sign language off to the right is truly incredible–way more expressive than you’d imagine for a discussion of infrastructure investment.
I’m a former high school and junior high history teacher that taught at both private and public schools in the past 15 years. At no point, was I instructed to brainwash, indoctrinate or teach hate to my students. I was expected to teach them about important historical events such as the Civil Rights Movement, World War I, World War II, the Holocaust, the fight for women to get the right to vote, etc. as defined by the curriculum established by TEA.
Here’s a quote that I wish you would seriously ponder: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” - Winston Churchill
