Most k-12 students in the US are currently being taught that "slavery was not so bad" and that "lynchings and violence never happened"? This seems like a massive and very grave scandal if it's, you know, true.pic.twitter.com/USLl1bOu1E

I went to public schools for 12 years and never had a single teacher even suggest that slavery was anything other than a moral abomination, let alone something that "wasn't so bad," but maybe everything changed since then and my schools were an anomaly.
In my public high school, we focused extensively—almost exclusively—on slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, Trail of Tears, racism, discrimination, etc. during history class. I'd love to see proof that a single public high school curriculum today teaches that slavery "wasn't so bad."

Maybe all that focus in 1990s public education is what has created the modern racism industry in America

@NPR today they had a@TheAtlantic writer on suggesting anti-CRT bills are simply an attempt to cover up slavery and roll back the civil rights movement. Of course, he never explained why he supports racial scapegoating and stereotyping, which are banned by such bills.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I'd love to see proof that a single public high school curriculum today teaches that
#racialslavery was the 1. worse form of slavery 2. that this form of slavery never existed before in human history, 3. Scientific Racism (White Supremacy and Greed) are responsible for it.pic.twitter.com/BUAYnd9G5f -
Most schools teach a very simplistic view of American slavery. It didn't emphasize the dissimilar aspects of
#racialslavery. And, that's important because the dissimilar form of slavery, had a unique cruelty to it. And, the impact of that cruelty, remains with us to this day. - Show replies
