Yep! Just like you GenXers have been doing to us Boomers since you started getting nostalgic!

Unfortunately, I can confirm that the story of the #CivilWar has been taught to Southern students from a tragically skewed perspective for generations. I know, because I read the same kinda elementary school textbook crap that is discussed in the article. We were very clearly instructed to believe "the War of Northern Aggression" began, and continued in earnest, over states' rights, and a regionally unfair system of taxation. Our predominantly white teachers looked their students in their young faces and said, "It wasn't about #slavery.

Luckily for me, at the same time that those dreadful texts were foisted upon us, we also had access to the national news, via tv. #genx kids like me could thereby be witness to, and learn other versions of, both national and regional history.

As a white kid, i questioned a lot of what I was told, growing up in the American South: why were #Black people treated so badly? Why were #women treated as less important than #men? Why did my school textbooks lie to me? My #boomer parents had inadequate answers. Mostly, I was discouraged from asking, because, "That’s just the way things are."

After two #Obama administrations, I really thought MAYBE, as a nation, and also as a region, maybe we were maturing and growing.

Then, #2025 happened.

We still have a long way to go.

Aber hey, danke an die Generation Nach uns die Sintflut, habt ihr wirklich super gemacht. Ihr solltet noch mehr Rente bekommen und hoffentlich habt ihr euren Kindern auch gesagt, dass das Wichtigste im Leben ist, viel Geld zu verdienen, damit man viel kaufen kann. #Boomer

Die Generation, die mir beigebracht hat, ich müsse unbedingt wissen, wie man z.B. einen Ölwechsel beim Auto macht („man kann ja schliesslich nichts bedienen, ohne es zu verstehen!!“), ist heute die gleiche, die sich die "Cloud" als flauschige Wolke mit all ihren Katzenbildern drin vorstellt, Browser und Internet verwechselt, Passwörter auf Post-its neben dem Gerät schreibt und mich stets um Hilfe bittet. 🤯

Ich sag nur: Glashäuser. Steine. 🤭 😅
