1. History is not there for you to like or dislike.
2. History is there for you to learn from it.
3. History offends you? Even better. Then you are less likely to repeat it.
Read this out loud, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.

Thank you for the advice, but my children will raise their children the way they see fit. I had my chance, and all four are already amazing. I won't NEED to do this, will I? I will just get to be Grandma.
@Strandjunker if you believe repeating false statements regarding past events makes them true, you don’t know history and are afraid to learn anything that doesn’t fit the stories your grandma told you. Education is a process that requires critical thinking and deciphering information in many forms. It’s not principles that keeps you from discoveries, it’s fear or dogma.

Thank you! 🖖
@Strandjunker then teach it to Republicans.

i'm doing an online indigenous course at the moment. there was a lot left out, glossed over, & straight up re-written to create a much kinder gentler version of colonization when i learned social studies in high school.
it's been frustrating & angering to me. b/c so many biases & prejudices i had comes from what i was taught in my formative yrs. i've slowly worked thru them as i've learned the other side, backed up by factual evidence, but that was ME seeking it out.
