Lets ask all the parents who, out of necessity and not choice, have HAD to "home-school" for the last 3 months if they are anxious to keep up that responsibility in the fall. Home schooling falls short of a comprehensive education in so many ways it is deleterious to children. Give public school teachers the credit and respect they deserve.

Token Reparations and Reservations are nothing to joke about. Did you know that white men forcibly took native children away from their mothers & families to “re-educate” (read that: indoctrinate) them in “civilized culture.” Sounds a lot like an earlier version of the present Muslim re-education by the Chinese, doesn’t it? That way the native children would not be taught their rightful cultural legacy and would be taught European customs , values and English.

Once American history is scrubbed, our progeny may not even realize how redundant their errors will be.

This is off-topic for this thread.

But thankfully American parents are responsible for raising their children, it does not require a village’s consensus. BTW I am grateful to all of our educators. They are very under appreciated but not infallible. ‘One size fits all’ doesn’t work well for clothing nor for education.

...I have many other solution-like to look at Europe for their better social solution. Like strong unions in Germany yet little strife between unions and managemen/owners. Germany makes better automobiles than the US. Why not give them some credit and mimic that which they do right. Their is to much ethno-centricity and jingoism clouding our eyes. .....sermon over, thank you.[/QUOTE]

If Europe and Germany are so superior, why waste your time & resources in America?

yes by all means let the state decide what your children should know and think and some day report their parents for improper thinking

Any and all references to suppression of anybody is indeed a part of our history and thereby belongs in historical museums and history books. It’s a tragedy to see these things damaged or destroyed when the municipalities could have removed them and used them for educational purposes. Remember the Confederates lost and for good reason.

I've said the same things...for a long time.

Keep those monuments and statues (even though most of them were erected decades after the Civil War, to try and intimidate blacks) and put them in a location where every school can make field trips...and students can be told the truth of why they exist.

It was a matter of time before slavery fell of its own weight depending just how long it might have been better that way considering the cost

Yeah, that's the answer.

Make sure children don't have the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of viewpoints and history that maybe the parent(s)...don't want to acknowledge.

It's been known forever, that if you want to brainwash someone, start when they're young...and minimize the input they receive.

That should work out real well...for future generations.

Isn’t it stunning that Europe also had African slaves yet there is rarely any mention of the pervasiveness of it internationally. Their shared history is the basis for the recent solidarity protests abroad. Slavery was not exclusively a white Colonial American phenomenon yet white Americans believe we alone carry the guilt. Oppression and prejudice is real but it is not only dealt to blacks. The strife will only end when we all have respect for the sanctity and dignity of all human life. No one is more valuable than another. The violent destruction of statues and looting of commercial enterprises certainly won’t cause LESS prejudice.

The US is rated 14th in the world for education, doesn't sound very comprehensive to me. Friends of ours have 6 children, all home schooled. The oldest girl was accepted to college but declined to start her own business and has done very well. The oldest boy has a scholarship for college and starts this year. The rest of the kids have excellent grades as they are monitored by the state. They have like age friends in their neighborhood so they are experiencing socializing with other children.

And that is exactly what the public school systems in the US are doing, brainwashing and indoctrinating young minds with left wing ideology. You just don't want to recognize it.

Here's the result of that "education"

Social Justice Warriors’ Deface Statues Of Actual Social Justice Warriors

While self-proclaimed antifascists deface literal antifascists, monuments paying tribute to another group of legacy leaders have fallen victim to the demise of “social justice warriors” purging the nation’s history in an ironic twist: civil rights heroes.
