Odd Thoughts


Teaching school kids everything that's actually happened in America - from The Three-Fifths Clause and Slavery and Critical Race Theory, to The Trail Of Tears and the slaughter of the buffalo in support of an attempted genocide, to Jim Crow and Greenwood, to Vietnam and the War On Protesters, to assassinations and attempted assassinations, to Murder-by-Drone and the myriad fucked up CIA misadventures, to Iran-Contra, to Voter Suppression etc etc etc - that's what conservatives are calling "teaching kids to hate their country".

They're admitting that knowing the truth about America will make those kids hate America. But instead of making changes in what we do and how we do them, so better things can happen - so our history is more often something we can be proud of - they'll just lie and pretend everything's peachy, and hope those kids don't ever find out.

That is nine kinds of fucked up right there.
