      We have this already. It's called "public school textbooks about the civil war."https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1164634257307971586 …

      If you think the public school system in, say, Los Angeles is a hotbed of right-wingery, I'm not sure what to say to you.

      Texas sets national textbook standards. And throughout the South, it's still taught as a War of Northern Aggression about economics and freedom, not the Slavers' Rebellion it actually was.

      [Citations needed for it being routine to find public schools well outside the South teaching "War of Northern Aggression" in 2019 A.D.]

          First of all it shouldn't be taught that way in the South period. Secondly, as an 8th grader, my SC state history teacher was literally a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy, who taught a class that was half black, who called it The War Of Northern Aggression.

          There is plenty of institutional conservative thought celebrating treason from coast to coast. You live near stone mountain for instance.

          That being the case in the South is enough. That's the base of white supremacist power in the United States. But it's also true that even in blue states textbooks far undersell the role of slavery not just in the Civil War, but the electoral college and much else.

          It's weird how you said a thing, and then Dan asked if it was true, and you immediately admitted it wasn't and then plowed forward.

          Right. The neo-Confederate types exist, but a conservative intellectual take would do things like foreground Lincoln's view of the Founding & expose the centralizing aspects of the Confederacy.
