>I often hear...
I often hear the same strawman from right-wing sources. Usually the actual content is benign, like GP mentioned (topics like the US Civil War was fought over slavery). I've never heard any teacher or curriculum say the things being alleged or seen any evidence that they were said, which returns to the bulk of GP's comment: people are having degraded education over falsely perceived indoctrination.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoI didn't say I heard that specific phrase from teachers, but I hear it from other people in real life all the time. Do you deny that people hold this belief? Do you believe it yourself? P. S. Why do people keep bringing up the civil war? Did I miss something?
- YXNjaGVyZWdlbgo 5y agoYay, make it personal despite getting delivered objective facts without providing any facts to bolster your own believes. yikes.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoOK, so do you think that you can never ask a person what position they hold when discussing that very topic? If they believe that racial guilt exists or is deserved is relevant to the conversation of if it is or should be taught in schools.
- YXNjaGVyZWdlbgo 5y agoThe nice thing is that it doesn't matter what I believe is deserved or not the thing is that there was wrong doing and that the wrong doing should be teached in school. Imagine Germany not teaching their children about the second world war. LOL
- s1artibartfast 5y agoI think we are talking about entirely different topics/ talking past eachother. I too agree that school should include the darker parts of history and lessons learned from them. I don't think that you and I can have a discussion unless we agree on the subject we are even talking about.
