Do our schools lie about history as much as our media lies about current events?

Lies, lies lies!
MIAMI, Fla. – Changes made to the curriculum for African American history in Florida schools is causing an uproar as Black leaders and teachers criticized the plan for omitting the hardships, violence and rape Blacks endured during slavery and the Jim Crow era.

The controversial new course will teach students that Blacks benefited from slavery with job skills and they initiated violence including the Rosewood massacre in 1923 in Levy County, Florida, where dozens of Blacks were killed in a racially motivated attack.

Two white men were killed in the attack by one of the victims in self-defense but eyewitnesses’ accounts suggested the death toll was about 140 Blacks.

The lynching stemmed from accusations that a white woman was allegedly assaulted by a Black man and a mob of several hundred whites hunted down Blacks and killed them.

The new curriculum will also teach students that white people retaliated after two of their own men were shot and killed by a Black man instead of the victim shooting in self defense.

You were taught in those schools and you're an uniformed idiot.

But that's because your comprehension skills are garbage. The schools are fine. The real worry is what Fox is doing to MAGAt adults.

History is full of things "everybody knows" that did not happen the way most people think they did, and in some cases did not happen at all. Do our schools encourage this? I've been out for a while, but in my experience yes, to some extent, they do. In elementary school we learned about how the people rose up against the British and Paul Revere's ride and blah blah blah, and in high school we learned that actually, only about a third of the colonists wanted independence and, by the way, the taxes they were rebelling against were some of the lowest in the world. I have to admit you do see this on the left - you don't even want to know some of the names I've had thrown at me when I set the record straight against people who think Elvis stole everything from Black musicians - but it's nothing like what we're seeing in Florida, just for example.

And yes, the media lies. But the people complaining loudest about that - like our own Rightguide - are actually the ones taking in the most dishonest reporting and believing every word of it. So I can't work up much outrage from him about whether kids are learning the kind of history he wants taught.
 
You know what's not historical?

The present.

So describing any actions of current day actors as "historical" is horseshit.

History takes time to become history.

Too many school districts, private schools, and individual teachers in those systems to make a generalization that applies to the whole country.

Oh, we can safely make a LOT of national generalizations about the schools!

Considering you're a hemorrhoid, your opinion means nothing.

The people who claim that the USA is irredeemably evil because of slavery, Japanese internment, the Rosewood Massacre, Kristi Noem etc. etc. etc. are just as risible as the ones who claim that none of that bad stuff ever happened and the USA doesn't have any problems that need fixing.
 
Are they being educated or indoctrinated?
There is not always a difference. There was never a time in American history when education did not include indoctrination, usually in things that did not seem controversial at the time.
