MY LITTLE SISTER’S HISTORY TEACHER IS MAKING THEM LIST THE “POSITIVE EFFECTS” OF IMPERIALISM??????
forcing students into the mental exercise of justifying/rationalizing genocide because of its supposed “positive effects” itself perpetuates genocide and indoctrinates them into supporting an imperial war machine.
my sister is @CeceWalsh3 btw <3
and to be clear, this is a public high school in one of the most "progressive" cities in the US — Cambridge, MA.
it's not just Republicans banning CRT that are revising history — racist, imperialist revisionism it is a key objective of the entire US education system.
In my first semester of my PhD program, my white woman professor made us go around the room and talk about the positives about colonialism in africa.
This was also in the Northeast "liberal" USA
