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.
Of course it is liberal, they think they are progressive and enlightened for saying there are hypothetical bad effects
liberals think it's a virtue to make no solid conclusions on anything
It's extremely convenient for them, they get to project the aesthetic of change and progress without having to lift a fucking finger to actually make any change.
