@BigBlackRod I do. But we’re talking K-12 schooling. As such, we are talking about survey courses. There isn’t time in a school year to cover the specifics of ANY period in history. The point is to give an outline of what happened, to be filled in with higher education. As for the things you listed, Redlining was made illegal by the civil rights act in 1967: the Dred Scott decision was politically motivated in the years leading up to the civil war and was strongly opposed in northern states; Tulsa was a race riot with deaths on both sides, the consequence of which was the burning of the town to the ground, which prompted new building laws; in the case of any eminent domain action, it is the benefit to the whole that matters. If you had to decide where to run a highway such that it would be most beneficial to the greatest numbers, are you going to propose to put it right through a thriving economic center, or put it through an adjacent blighted or run down area that would not only serve the economic center, but cause an infusion of capital into the blighted area? It’s common sense, not racially motivated. You see to teach/explain these specifics at the K-12 level would have to be at the exclusion of chunks of the outline. And I will say everyday, all day: Moral indignation has no place in the teaching of history.

@joseph8947 Check, check, check, check and check. Quite familiar with all you have mentioned. I’ll say again, I have no problem with the teaching of any objective historical facts. But what the progressives are trying to teach is not history. It’s hyperbole and baseless causation theories. Those theories foster hate and divisiveness among Americans. They are far from “truth”. These theories give youth a misleading sense of themselves and the world around them and keeps their focus behind instead of in front of them. That will not end well for them as the rest of the world moves forward. I similarly blame the giant, orange, diapered duck (Baby Huey - Trump) for pushing us down the slippery slope of an ethicless society, where integrity is seen as a liability and a flaw. But here we are. Teaching Debunked theories and hyperbole to children is just more of the same. The truth is “All have been wronged and all have been guilty.” I actually looked at the curriculum of the AP class DeSantis banned, and while I am not a fan, it was essentially teaching CRT as a “truth”. That fiction won’t help anyone I’m afraid. I admit I am surprised at your age. By 60 I would think the incredulity would have given way to clarity and understanding. If you live in Europe. perhaps you were not aware of just how bad the education system in this country has become. In many states, less than 50% of the students in high school reach the proficiency level in english and math. They have the attention span of gnats and can’t focus on one thing for more than 30 second ones at a time. They pick up “talking points” but have no context from which to question them. And we are moving AWAY from education in this country. The youth would prefer to let other people do the thinking and spoon feed them the conclusions. They hold try he world libraries in the palms of their hands, but they’d rather take self-serving opportunists word for things than expend the 30 seconds it would take to even google a subject they’re not familiar with. Nobody is trying to keep “truth” from being taught. To the contrary. It’s the lies we don’t need in schools.
