So what is being taught in history that you don’t like?
Why do you think DeSantis is doing this?
You tell me. You are the one who started the thread.
Have you read anything about inaccurate portrayals of history being taught in schools? That’s what this is addressing.
Heck yeah I’ve read about inaccurate portrayals of history. What did you think I’ve been saying for the longest? Some these schools have been trying to change black history. Some of of these school districts have been trying to remove books about Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King from the library. Texas in particular has already for years changed their history text books that puts slavery in a good light.

You see, this is what I’ve been talking about. Involuntary relocation? That is a ridiculous attempt to white wash history. Texas has been guilty of this for years.Texas board of education strikes down proposal to call slavery ‘involuntary relocation’
A proposal by Texas state educators to call slavery “involuntary relocation” in second grade classes has been rejected by the State Board of Education. The proposal, first reported by th…
Nope. Confederate statues should be torn down. They should not have been erected in the first place. They were treasonous individuals and should have been hung from a tree before the ink was dry at the Appomattox Court House.
Most blacks and many other people don’t even know what the statues are until they go over and read the plaques. I see nothing wrong with our our history being displayed and being erected to intimidate blacks is pure nonsense. It’s just an excuse to tear up and destroy something else. You’re ok with history being taught and displayed as long as you agree with it.
Many of the Confederate monuments were put up during the Jim Crow days for the express purpose of intimidating African Americans and celebrating the Confederacy. Your ignorance of the issue doesn't make it not true.
Your ignorance of the issue doesn't change the facts. You could seek to learn something before spouting off about it.
No, you are wrong. I had no problems learning about the confederacy in history class. You don't hear any blacks talking about removing any topics learning about the confederacy in schools. It is actually white people that are trying to remove books about Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King and others. I love history and I don't mind learning about history whether it's good or bad. However, there is a difference between learning about history and honoring someone. Putting up statues is more about honoring someone and their so called accomplishments. From a white person's perspective, I reckon you see the confederate statues as history. From a black person's perspective, those confederate statues and flags were definitely put up to intimidate blacks during the Jim Crow era. Again I ask, why should we honor Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and others with statues and US military bases when they in fact killed US soldiers. These folks were traitors. If you want to read about them, read a book.
I have no problem with that. If people want things to honor someone it’s ok by me. I’m sure there are some people that would want to remove MLK statues or plaques. Everyone needs to get along and not get upset about things they don’t agree with. There’s a lot of things I don’t agree with, but I don’t go out and deface them or tear it up. We all need to accept things that others enjoy.
Let me get this straight. Confederate soldiers like Benning and Hood among others killed US soldiers and you think they deserve US military bases, Fort Benning and Fort Hood respectively to be named after them?
I don’t care one bit what something is named. I had no problem with the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians or anything else. I don’t care that people name their kids some stupid name at birth. It’s just a name big deal.
So you support teachers teaching Republicans (Lincoln and Grant) risked their lives saving Blacks and the country from racist Democrats?
I support teacher teaching everyone that Lincoln didn’t free anyone. They need to teach that the Emancipation Proclamation was just a legal, military document that allow only the slaves in the southern states to join the Union army. The slaves in the northern states were still slaves.
Then why over the 2020 Juneteenth Holiday did BLM and Antifa protesters in San Fran tear down a statue of Grant?
By your reckoning there must be about a million facts that aren't changed by your ignorance as it is very widespread
They also needed to teach you better English, your posts would be just a bit less painful to try and read that way.
true, the Rinos will be out in full force against trump yet again.
What is a Rino, besides the obvious acronym? What republican policies do they no longer support?
Not sure where you stand on the kneeling NFL players. But the same right wingers that don't like the players kneeling while the National Anthem is playing are the same ones that don't want the US military bases named after confederate soldiers to be renamed. Chump never wanted to sign the bill to do so. Therefore if you don't want the US bases named after traitors renamed, then don't complain about the kneeling athletes.
Been down this many times before also. It’s disrespectful to me and many in the military to kneel during the anthem. All the people who fought and risked their lives and these multi millionaires can’t show some respect. Respect is always the word people use and in this case they won’t give it and don’t care who they hurt. It really pisses me off when people don’t stand or are lying down on the bleachers during the anthem before high school games. Don’t see why things need to be renamed. It’s only a name so again no big deal to me one way or the other. People are way to sensitive today and need to get along.
Give it time…they will. Seems like a Patriotic person to me, but he’ll be vilified soon enough.
This is my point. If y’all are passed about the athletes kneeling then you should equally pissed at US military bases like Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, and Fort Benning going names after people that were traitors to the US and killed US soldiers. Kneeling players never killed US soldiers.
We know you can’t get the facts right when it comes to the kneeling NFL players 😂 Sweet Jesus above, you’re unintelligent. Not man enough to admit you’re making things up too. You’re weak.

Lol. You define it by posting a link to Romney.Nailed it

And you say you’re an independent and keep posting tweets from the most left Twitter accounts on Twitter. You also never start threads about Democrats and calling them out about anything. By design. You’re not an independent, old man.
I voted for Romney and McCain who were considered Rinos. Wonder when was the last time Bob voted for a Rino or other Republican?
