Unlike the Republicans, who cannot accept teaching the bad shit that makes up part of this country's history, the Germans do teach their kids about their bad shit, as the Rude Pundit discussed.
If the Germans taught the Holocause the way Texas tried to teach slavery, the Germans would have referred to Auschwitz as a center for hospice care.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

The last two paragraphs from the Guardian article:
ReplyDelete“But it’s no accident that this happened in Texas,” the statement added. “We have a textbook adoption process that’s so politicized and so flawed that it’s become almost a punchline for comedians.
“The truth is that too many elected officials who oversee that process are less interested in accurate, fact-based textbooks than they are in promoting their own political views in our kids’ classrooms.”
Still true today.
Because of my heritage, I eat Chinese-German food. The only drawback is that half an hour later you’re hungry for power again.

Yep, I've long said that the Germans, say what you will about their horrors, are the *only* country that has ever publicly admitted and tried to atone for their crimes against humanity. America (genocide of and theft from the Indians, slavery), nope. English (the subjugation of Ireland and Scotland, theft and the Famine), nope. Europe (their fun and games as colonial powers), nope.
ReplyDeleteWe're a lovely species...and maybe, with climate warming, we are doing away with ourselves.
