> Teach the facts of history. Tens of millions of Jews, Queer people, and POC were slaughtered by nazi fascists. America's economy was founded on the enslavement of Black people and racist behavior is encoded in some of our systems of government and behavior to this very day. That's not teaching something on the basis of a political belief, that's just a fact that happened. For many people they applaud the actions of the people who committed these atrocities. Many pine to redo the civil war or try reimagining it as if the South actually won... These topics definitely can create discomfort. You can't teach the Holocaust without discomfort...but I posit some discomfort is healthy, it encourages us to be compassionate and do better. The only people who'd feel guilt or anguish are the ones who's parents are Neo-nazi's I'd imagine, but that's a large amount of kids in America -sadly. I miss the days when we could just teach facts unabashed discomfort or no, just the facts and show what really happened .. I mean in 8th grade we watched a Documentary (1994) that showed items made of Human skin for the Nazi regime, and horrendous images of concentration camps. Definitely makes me not want to take lightly the idea of persecuting people and risk redoing something that heinous. If we forget or gloss over the hard stuff, we risk losing our discomfort and disgust, and in the process we grow closer to recreating the behaviors that led up to that.
