Yup. It's odd what they do and don't teach in Texas History. People tell me about how bad propaganda is in other places. Good thing they don't have it here,

Yup. It's odd what they do and don't teach in Texas History. People tell me about how bad propaganda is in other places. Good thing they don't have it here, or those folks would probably be very mad at the systems who raise them- then they might have to examine their highly conflicted relationships to the abusive powers that be. Personally, though, I do see empathy here and there. In some places (especially among folks who think they are more likely to have been a plantation owner than a peasant anytime someone talks about 'land reform') it's notably attenuated. Empathy is not a lost cause- lots of good folks, and lots of folks who want to be good but don't know how. But it's gonna take some work to get make it louder.
