I would argue it’s important to teach about the negative parts of history when our or other cultures were bad to others.
Saying they want to avoid that context is like teaching someone how to be nice and quiet and not protest the status quo because “that would be so rude to white people”
There’s a place for humility and realizing people in our past, and sometimes our present, were absolutely dicks.
There is also a place for courage to stand up and Christlike love to support the people harmed by GOP othering.
It’s very well crafted and pernicious.
