My question is… what is the issue with teaching the story. This happened to a school aged child, one who happens to be alive.

Why do some many of you generational Americans fight down certain aspects of your history so much?





Because what's actually being taught is revisionist history with an anti American, anti White, racist agenda.

Right... well, this is what happens when you try to INDOCTRINATE kids (and college students) that a whole group of people (and their home country) is inherently evil, due to the color of THEIR skin.

Okay, I see what you're asking. It wouldn't take long to scan the four books. I have no idea whether or not they refused to look into it because they're aware of the content and find it appropriate, or they don't know and just don't care. I can see it going either way.

Not yours.

Not the public school system's.
We're not talking about "values" here. We're talking about access to correct historical facts.

No it isn't revisionist. What WE were taught as children was revised.

What they're teaching now is the bald, ugly, naked honest truth.

But yes, along with that, it would be instructive to teach that there were some white people who rode with the freedom riders and risked their lives to right the horrible injustices done to black people. Some. As Mr. Rogers says, when you are looking at a tragedy, look at those who rush in to help. So, show that a few Freedom Riders were white. They were from the north, and travelled to the south, but ok.

And that's the best possible way you can spin the Civil Rights movement to not make southern white people look really really ugly during that timeframe.

And that's the reality. The unrevised, unvarnished reality.

Our history is ugly but it needs to be taught so we can learn from it.

The point here is to prevent leftwing white supremacists from teaching their racist doctrine of CRT. The left is trying to turn children into racists under the veil of "teaching honest history."

Wait. How does teaching "honest history" become a problem?

White people in the US have built an enormous, successful economy, a good education system, etc., but we have shipped black people here and treated them miserably for hundreds of years.

The truth hurts.

By that logic, you’re in support of the so-called CRT then too right?

The point here to stamp out the histories of other people that make them uncomfortable or that they simply do not want children and others to hear.

I am a Tennessean and I have not heard anything about this "group" When you dig deeper into things, this is Williamson county. The county where many stars live and it's big money in that area (Brentwood, Franklin area). Also Williamson county is one of the main counties that had a major issue with the Governor saying the parents can make choices for their kids to either wear or not wear masks in school. That area is a bunch of cry babies to be honest. Why else would so many big names be selling their homes in that county?
