[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school does not intellectually coddle children. The teachers believe that children are capable of understanding the facts, both uplifting and terrible, that constitute the narrative of our country and the world. It's would be a lie of omission to say avoid any discussion of racism in contemporary politics. How do you study the civil rights era without talking about the KKK? How do you understand economics without discussing racist housing discrimination? There was an opinion piece in the WaPO a couple of weeks ago explaining that the point of teaching history is not to encourage love of country. If education does not teach students to face the events of the day with a critical eye, then education has failed.[/quote] Is the KKK a political stance? [/quote]
