[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was taught this over 40 years ago in central VA and my oldest (now 13) was taught this in APS. My younger child (2 years behind) was taught a much more complex story with slavery at the center of it. Also in APS. I prefer the new version. It doesn’t paint Lee as a villain. But he’s no hero either. [/quote] I can report that my APS 4th grader was taught the new version last year. Thank goodness. Not a native of VA or the south, and I would have raised holy hell if the framing of the issue was around Lee as a hero and loyal Virginian. F*** that noise. He was a traitor to the Union and fought to uphold a system in which fellow humans remained slaves. That’s the actual truth. Winners get to write history, not Confederate losers.[/quote]
