        I don't think the teacher was promoting the KKK. Just the opposite. Getting kids to think deeply and arrive at the correct conclusion.

        Exactly - it's called 'critical thinking', a skill which many American politicians could use further developing

        Yes! Former teacher here. Critical thinking is in rare supply in politics. Greed, hate rules.

        Which is only fitting as @realDonaldTrump was once a registered Democrat and now a Republican.

        I guess it's better to know who feels that way as if they keep it for themselves. That way one can change something

        It was a thought experiment, to get the student to mentally try on someone else's point of view, not as endorsement, but to gain perspective

        Thought experiments 1) help students see everyone's humanity, (2) learn how to step outside themselves & think more critically...

        When we can mentally step outside ourselves, then we can more objectively examined our own ideas & perhaps spot & confront our own biases.

        So, "imagine you were a KKK member during reconstruction - what are your justifications and do you think these justifications are valid?"

        The student can then plug in their own beliefs and points of view and critically examine them in the same way. It's a good exercise.

        Maybe a bit advanced for fifth grade, but I don't think so; my kids were curious about other people's pov and motivations at that age.

        Long thread short (too late, I know) I think people are overreacting from a misunderstanding of the assignment's intent.

        They think like Democrats, because they were started by Democrats. For today’s Democrats lives don’t matter, votes matter KKK to this day.
