I wish that teachers put more emphasis on the three Rs (Readin' Rightin' and Rithmatic) since the schools are turning out way too many functional illiterates who can't make change. It would demonstrate that they know what their primary job is; educating children in an effort to help them be functional members of society, rather than focusing on agenda driven indoctrination.

History is difficult because it is about humans and our flaws have created historical horrors. Teaching children that those horrors were inherent to a given race is as you wrote, racist.

The point where you noticed that she never mentioned children/kids was telling. I might have not noticed if you hadn't and then mentioned it. It said a lot because it was unsaid. Thank you for that.
