An A-level history textbook has been withdrawn after a youth worker said she was "horrified" to discover an image asking whether the treatment of Native Americans had been exaggerated.
The AQA-approved book asked students to balance "criticisms of treatment of Native Americans" with "defence" of their treatment in the late 1800s.
:what-the-hell:
This is what "diversity of opinion" gets you.
Races are equal and therefore none deserve special treatment over the others. Opinions are not, the idea that "races are equal" may be blasphemy to large swathes of the population, and it's practically a death sentence to say that you believe in racial equality anywhere online, but it's true. No matter how much the sheeple will tell you otherwise.
I'm really glad they're engaging with one of, if not the, worst atrocities ever committed (and are committing) with all the nuance and empathy of this bit from Happy Gilmore :anglo-burn:
"It was deeply shocking to see how ingrained racial injustice is," she told the BBC.
Whether or not the US government's actions amounted to a genocide, it imposed policies that targeted Native American land, freedom, and wellbeing.
Fucking lol
The period saw some massacres of Native American tribes by the US government.
That's an interesting way to say genocidal campaign that in many ways continues to this day.
They do this shit constantly with history
I remember when I was like 12 we had to show a "balanced" view of the nazis
On the one hand they were genocided, which must have sucked I guess. But on the other hand white people really wanted their land so it's one of these moral grey zones.
