HODL on Nostr: I have absolutely no problem with them teaching accurate American and world history ...
I have absolutely no problem with them teaching accurate American and world history (which includes slavery). Not sure why I would. Kinda confused by that assumption on your part. I’ve also never met a white parent who felt they shouldn’t be teaching about slavery. How could you even teach the civil war without teaching slavery for instance?
What I’m referring to above in terms of indoctrination is more about conformity, state centrism, collectivism, ideological bias etc…
That said your worldview as described above would fall under ideological bias in my opinion. White Europeans historically aren’t any more evil than any other group of people and white children today certainly bear no responsibility for the actions of people who looked like them hundreds of years ago.
History is always far more nuanced than this group bad/ this group good. Free blacks owned slaves for instance, native Americans owned slaves. Africans sold other Africans into slavery.
Personally I’m deeply against the teaching of any history that lays blame on any group or individual. Human affairs are complex, messy and deeply human and always have been. All history should be told as accurately as possible.
