This is horrifying. This is fascism. Teach them an alternate reality from birth. Gotta make sure those white kids keep feeling special. Gotta make sure the black kids know they were better off enslaved. Perfect. Our country is soooooo fucked.
To be fair, there's alternate history that was being taught in schools prior to this (I haven't looked into the prageru program, so I'm not sure what they teach that's alt history yet). But the 1619 project is a good example of alternate history that was/is being pushed and taught at schools.
