    btw "woke education" means mentioning that slavery was bad and teachers not actively persecuting trans kids.

      Also rainbows, and any books that provide any kind of representation of non-cishetero relationships, lifestyles or families.

      Also covers anything other than "there were native inhabitants when the first white people but then they just sorta vanished into ether, allowing white people to settle peacefully".

        I think the usual whitewashing of Amerika's foundational genocide is "the frontier was a very violent place", with that violence being implicitly blamed not on settlers stealing land and natives resisting that, but on brave settlers "defending themselves" against "savage customs". This is how classic westerns do the victim blaming.
