In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.

@SiggyRose1 I think most people never hearing about the Tulsa massacre until that episode of the watchman says everything about our education here. I didn’t know about it until about 10 yrs ago from a random Wikipedia article that linked to it.

@Farbeka @SiggyRose1 Before you complain about people with opposing viewpoints being poorly educated, you might want to revisit your high school sophomore English curriculum. Stop looking. You'll never find the egregious grammatic error.

@SiggyRose1 That is an excellent point! Unfortunately, it seems that so many parents of young children are themselves so poorly educated and concerned with “America First,” That I’m not sure they know Any History. Like we fought Germany in WW2. Do they know the South lost the Civil War?

@losue555 @SiggyRose1 Did u miss the part where she said they visit concentration camps? We don’t visit plantations and they sugar coat slavery in world civ. I’m pretty sure they don’t show photos of black ppl being hung,castrated, burned, skinned, or eaten by white ppl.

@SiggyRose1 Exactly..its required. While German students ask their families,"How did you let this happen?" American kids ask "Why didn't you tell us it happened?"

@SiggyRose1 We do. I recall, in the third grade a white child reading aloud from a text book about the horrors of slavery, such as beatings for capricious infractions (e.g. a slave brushing an owner's hair too aggressively). We've owned that shit and apologized. WTF do you want white lady?

Can you name a Native American nation in the United States that’s not Cherokee, Navajo, or Choctaw?

Also, my ass is literally chapped. Now I'm not saying it's because of your policy belly-achin'. I'm just saying it's a helluva coincidence.
