“"In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.”

@DidiQ The teaching of history is seen as a powerful tool of control. In Scotland when I was a boy there was a push to try and suppress any feelings which might lead to independent thought. In history classes when I was at school we weren't taught about the Scottish enlightenment, Scottish / English wars, the Highland clearances or Red Clydeside. No, we were taught about the Aztecs. Could they have found a subject further from Scottish history?
