This doesn’t have to be controversial, just read the confederate state’s declarations of succession. The cause of the civil war isn’t open for interpretation. They people who succeeded litterally wrote down and formally publicized their reasons.
none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization

Don’t forget the part where if you joined the Confederacy you signed:
"No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in Negro slaves shall be passed.”
Try out the new America!!! Same shit taste, but now with even more racism!!!
It was always about bringing slavery back.
Ever since we shed blood to end it, they’ve been trying to bring it back.
This is just a continuation of the current indoctrination system. For example, they don’t teach about the founding slavers either. Everything is a whitewash.
A culture that is founded on racist delusions and fantasies is not capable of teaching accurate history.
In his 6min 1A speech the week after winning he’s going off about censorship and social media moderation. He asked Republican legislators to send retain your records letters to the universities in their states. He then said he was going to pull funding from all universities guilty of censorship/moderation not just going forward, but in the past as well.
He had a bit about never using the “labels” misinformation and disinformation going forward. It’s unclear if that piece is included in that threat to universities.
They barely teach about it as it is. My daughter’s social studies textbook had page after page about Marbury v. Madison and two paragraphs about Harriet Tumbman.
Harriet Tubman was a great hero, but she did not shape society. Marbury v. Madison established judicial review, which allows the SC to strike down laws as unconstitutional. That’s massive. Brown v. Board of Education or Roe v. Wade rely on that.
Judicial review has been adopted by republics around the world (though not all). Writing as a European, I believe it’s a greatly underappreciated US contribution to global culture and the cause of democracy and human rights.
Marbury v. Madison established judicial review, which allows the SC to strike down laws as unconstitutional.
That is literally all a 14-year-old needs to know about it.
At 14 a “normal” kid is in 9th grade, correct? As in they didn’t start early, skip a grade, start behind, or get held back. At 9th grade, we should be preparing our kids for higher education. They need at least a paragraph so that the more curious kids take a further look into things.
I agree that Harriet Tubman and the UR deserve more attention than Indiana history books teach, I went to HS at MCHS in Madison, IN. And, boy howdy did they whitewash history back in the '90s.
At least we have what’s left of the Internet now so that you can supplement poor teaching materials.
As a Music Ed major, which is Education with extra classes tacked on, I would be interested to hear what GB history books are like once you guys get over there.
What more than that do most people need to know about Marbury v. Madison? What is the significance or relevance to day of the debates over it and the events leading up to it? Because I don’t think that is anywhere near as important as the emphasis you place on it.
Knowing that judicial review is a thing and that SCOTUS can do it and why they have that power should be enough for most people.
Marbury v. Madison established judicial review, which allows the SC to strike down laws as unconstitutional.
That only gives the what and how of the situation, not the why. Some explanation of why they were given that power is useful for the average citizen
Some explanation is not a dozen long online textbook pages. Especially when women as a whole in the 19th century rated four short pages.
Hang on, this was online? Not a printed book? Ok yeah, a few paragraphs and a hyperlink should cover it.
Recently watched a drunk history episode about spies, one of the segments featured Harriet Tubman. Absolutely worth a watch, you can find it on YouTube free.
Did you know she was Americas first female military leader? I didn’t till I saw that! And I got a half decent education where they didn’t gloss over slavery (helps I grew up in NY).
I would watch a whole movie with Octavia Butler as Drunk History Harriet Tubman. That shit was awesome.
It’s what the majority of white voters want
)Can’t have schools teaching about slavery in the land of the free. It just doesn’t fit with the theme.
you can’t?
#LandOfTheFree
Yeah, but have you considered that both sides bad?
This is business as usual, I was told, nothing would change, us shitlibs were just scaremongering about Trump.
Sure. But one side is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than the other

One side is open about their racism and sexism, the other side hides it. Which is worse to you?
Don’t see the left making political ads talking about the blood of the country. We all know who they’re talking about when they mention pure blood.
Damn, they are so good hiding that they actually enqct policies to counteract their own racism and sexism.
Clearly they must be worse, because they want to take abortion rights away by granting them to women.
Those of you with some knowledge and basic video capabilities might consider doubling down on youtube, and using your channel to pimp other video platforms like peertube in case of youtube censorship.
in case ofyoutube censorship.Every corp will bend the knee, advertisers flocking back to twitter like some Mafia deal. Google is already facing antitrust laws so I’m sure they’re willing to do what they can to get out of the shitter. Be mirroring your content regardless. And this goes further to services like Google photos, storage is relatively cheap.
Can’t have those uppity workers understanding what you’re trying to inflict upon them…
They are probably still getting funds if they teach how positive and helpful slavery was to the victims, and how important slavery was for businesses to be profitable for the owners.
It makes them uncomfortable to talk about it. Or acknowledge it’s lingering effects. It’s much more uncomfortable for the people suffering the lingering effects. But that’s not what’s important./s
It doesn’t make them uncomfortable. They just don’t want people to know that they’re still doing it.
Still doing it / going to significantly ramp it up. Think those immigrants are ever getting out of the camps? Nah, they’ll just be free labor now. As will plenty of Americans.
Well that is why it makes them uncomfortable. People knowing what they’re doing:-)
Didn’t you hear? The past was always better, and Now is always the low ebb in the decline of our civilization until we return to the values that made yesterday great.
If the past is somehow to blame for the problems of today, that might mean there was something wrong with the past. If that’s the case, then maybe other things from the past have problems, including things that I like or benefit me personally, or that changing would imply a lot of big scary changes that I’m not ready for.
That’s why attempts to talk about little mistakes from the past like chattel slavery, indigenous genocide, phillipino genocide or endemic discrimination and institutionalized racism are just attempts by bad people to tear down perfection and keep us from returning to a simpler, better time where those mistakes never happened.
