How to whitewash History

[WelfareQueen]

Yes
I believe all history should be taught
The good and the bad

As a teacher, I would expect you to know that

But filter it through a cultural Marxist perspective and erase history you do not like or approve of.

And putting up and preserving monuments is a way to do that. Germany did not destroy the concentration camps, instead turning them into monuments to history.

Germany does not honor its Nazi government

We honor the confederacy

I have no problem with museums dedicated to the horrors of the Confederacy

 

[Meathead]

I take your liberal mindset has a DEI programming aspect.

On the bright side, DEI is history.

While Germany has no monuments that celebrate the Nazi regime, some Nazi-era sculptures and artworks, including the "Striding Horses" by Josef Thorak, are now exhibited in museums and historical sites like the Spandau Citadel in Berlin, not as symbols of Nazi ideology but as historical artifacts.

And ignore the horrors done by the North at the same time? History is not the simple, black/white contrast the less intellectually rigorous would have us believe, and I see the same mindset deployed in conflicts today, where one side is deemed righteous while the other deemed evil and you're not allowed to even try to understand why both are fighting.

It's intellectual laziness to pretend there were no valiant soldiers in the Confederacy just fighting to keep the family farm from being totally destroyed by Union troops, just for one example. Face reality, the soldiers were pardoned and welcomed back into the Union as citizens. They even were buried in Arlington.

Why are you so adamant that not be recognized? If one were to only listen to you, one would think they were hunted down and executed by halo wearing Union soldiers after the war.

This is what happens when we view history through the lens of the victors only. It allows us, for example, to ignore the atrocities visited on the Native Americans as they were forcibly isolated from or assimilated into the US. My belief is that the same people now protesting any recognition of Confederate soldiers would applaud monuments to tribal leaders who killed American soldiers.

Even false history created by DEI?

Sad that you claim to be a History teacher who supports only teaching good stuff about the US

Sorry, but I don’t trust Trump to decide which history is true and which is false

Never said that did I?

If it is DEI, it is likely false, like Jasmine Crockett's speaking.

Yet we honor this general who burnt down a major US city resulting in the deaths of hundreds if not thousand of civilians. No Confederate general ever did that.

Different times, different people, different places, different everything and the lefty is confused that we have different response.


Liberalism makes people think wrong.

Libs like to just make up stupid shit and try to get conservatives to defend them.

That is their idea of "discussion".

Maybe so

But we set up monuments to honor a nation that was 40 percent slave, had an economy built on free labor and used humans for breeding so they could sell their young

There is a difference between memorializing them in history, and aggrandizing them in the public square.
People are free to put up displays advocating any person or any cause they want on their own property, on their own dime.

The difference is, like the British in 1812, the Japanese on December 7th, or the terrorists on 9-11, the CSA attacked us first.
While the Native Americans were defending against our attack on their homeland.

Nope. We didn't. So, there's that. Why you lie?

Point to the lie

 

[Correll]

Point to the lie

The part where you pretend that statues dedicated to the service of common soldiers fighting to protect their homelands, is political message in support of a long moot government policy.

That was your lie.

Actually, the North fired the first shot, igniting the war.
