This is one reason why government run schools are a bad idea. There’s an incentive for stupidity to be taught as fact for political gain.
I think education would be better if politicians had nothing to do with it.
I thought it’s r/nottheonion sub.
A co-worker went on a rant about how nobody talks about how it’s just heritage and the war wasn’t just about slavery. Also complaining that the customers complained about the confederate flag on his pickup so he had to take it down to avoid drama.
Even if his argument was in any way accurate, that flag clearly does not currently mean what he’s defending. I grew up in the south, went to college in the south, etc… If you want southern pride all over the place (I don’t see why you would be proud of that with how awful it’s going) then just fly your state flag. Certain parts have beautiful nature and culture that is absolutely great. The stars and bars have nothing to do with it. It’s not even accurate as a Confederate flag. A swastica on a flag is so outside of this “southern flag” idea that it should mean an immediate investigation of the people flying it.
Is this in reference to one curriculum change about a 1920s massacre to include that there were blacks and whites killing blacks instead of whites killing blacks?
And then the benefit thing, is that an extrapolation from that change?
Article was a bit shit.
Not surprising. I had some cousins in Florida who were taught in school that the south “technically” won the war. They never could quite explain it, but absolutely believed it.
Yes the one state known for its very respectable public education in the US. I do feel bad for the students who without their knowledge, are being indoctrinated into fascist beliefs without even knowing. Let’s talk about it. Let’s not frame it like genocide is ever acceptable. Let’s talk about how humans were tortured and killed out of curiosity and especially hate. Dehumanized animals subjected to things torturers would love to try themselves. To those people who want to keep doing it, you’re on the chopping block too
