It's a double standard - white parents don't want their children to learn about racism that black people have experienced in the past and currently experience and will complain until they're blue in the face.

Yet, their snowflakes can never learn enough about the Holocaust and anti-semitism which really do not have a long lasting impact on the Jews.

Fine, most people do not like Jews but no one is denying a Jew a job because they are a Jew. And Jews are the most successful minority in the world.

You cannot hide being black but you can sure as hell hide being a Jew.

The black experience in America and racism make most whites uncomfortable and the only way our society is going to get better is if we talk about these things.[/quote]

You are putting forth a false narrative.  I don't know about your kids, but mine learned a lot more about slavery and segregation than the Holocaust.  I don't think anyone has said the kids shouldn't learn about these things, they have just said --and I agree as a teacher--that it should not be personalized.  Just as I don't personalize little African American kids by telling everyone that Sally would have been left out of our class fifty years ago, I also would not say that Aaron would have been sent to the ovens.  I am sure you mean well, but you really need to use a little common sense here.
