Teaching history in any manner, even if you espouse the most bland presentation is tough because all history is the result of something that is up for interpretation.
HOW and what is a local matter for the most part and parents can have in put.
My pet peeve which stretches beyond just a discussion on education but keeping it within the thread......
Our families have been split apart and morals mean nothing any longer. There is no parent involvement at all any longer.
We keep going further and further away from the family and THAT leaves our children "unprotected" to your point.
Making America Great Again would be a step back and find our own moral grounds, like family.

Dear Guest: We are in agreement but perhaps with a different approach. It is difficult to look back on history and make moral judgment based on present day criteria and in lieu that the passions of events of the past have been far removed. Consider how we viewed Germany and Japan in the 1940-50 and today
Consider how we viewed women, sex in the 1940-50 and compare it to today. Virginity was once revered today its laughed upon.
In today's society we call it progression but it seems to have actually been regressive. My mother counseled to not swear in mixed company. Here we are today where some women's language embarrasses most men.
One wonders what feminist advocates make of what has happened to their movement . Indeed much has been accomplished but at the cost of emasculating men and unnecessarily hardening women. I opine other can decide if the trade off was necessary and worth it.
And before anyone desire to slander consider that in my previous life I promoted several deserving women. so I am not talking about equal opportunity here I am addressing the social implication of it all...think Monica Crowley vis a vis Joy Behar and you get a sense of what I mean.
