Yes, it is. But to be clear, Germany doesnt sugar coat or deflect from what the Holocaust was either. It wasnt the "war of European aggression" or the "extermination of a threat to German livelihoods".
I do not understand my fellow citizens anymore. I just don't.
The SJWs and their minions endlessly scream that whites are insensitive to history and do not know know how slavery impacts people to this day.
Here was someone trying to remedy that by <gasp!> taking people through a place that actually had slaves and showing them the actual object of their forced labor and cruel existence. Using education to enlighten everyone about a horrid stain on our history.
But somehow that is wrong.
the answer is that some of your fellow citizens have gone certifiably SJW batcrap insane.
You not liking the analogy doesnt really matter all that much to me.
"Not liking" - which I gave no indication of one way or another - is not the same as "doesn't fly".
The lack of comprehension of logical fallacies on your part is apparent. You're not comparing one like group to another, one like activity to another, etc. Therefore, you have not made a valid comparison between eighth grader pages visiting a pre-Civil War kitchen in a governor's mansion and Holocaust survivors and their descendants visiting an extermination camp.

It's not an opinion; it's a fact. The kids were required to participate in the visit to the governor's mansion as part of their participation in the page program.

The difference is you want to force everyone to, and I dont.
The kids weren't being forced to do anything but show up for the tour.
There are plenty of Holocaust survivors and their descendants who dont visit extermination camps either. Are they too sensitive as well ?

Try to stay focused ...

These kids signed up for the student page program. I would assume they have an interest in politics and might one day want to be an actual intern. I also assume that job isnt all skittles and rainbows. Slavery is a part of Virginia's history. It is what it is and if they cant face history and separate their emotion from their reason and logic I'm not sure they are on the right career path.
I mean - when you first hear it and imagine the first lady at a SCHOOL handing out cotton - it sounds pretty dumb. But, in context of what they were actually doing (touring slave quarters) ~ then it seems kind of appropriate for the situation.

Oh excuse me
What doesnt fly in your opinion doesnt matter all that much to me.

Part of being a politician is being the change you want to see int he world. So again, I disagree.
Yes, it is. But to be clear, Germany doesnt sugar coat or deflect from what the Holocaust was either. It wasnt the "war of European aggression" or the "extermination of a threat to German livelihoods".
The first lady of Virginia was sugarcoating Slavery?
Please elaborate.
