      That’s probably what they’ll teach. That it was a fake liberal lie to undermine the glorious nation of Russia.

      you can’t teach something that is fake.

      Uh… I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can though. Here’s a little example:

      Africa is a shithole country. White people were kind to accept the slaves that Africans themselves provided, and civilized them. They even gave them sammiches sometimes!

      There problem solved: now little Timmy doesn’t have to feel guilty about being the oppressor anymore! :-P Next week we’ll cover how chaining native Americans to (active) hot stoves in >100 degree temps in the desert will help teach them the true meaning of Christianity…

          Believe it or not, but the “we gave them sandwiches sometimes” statement has also been put forth as an argument for why slavery was not so bad. FOR REAL!

          Some have even been proposing - unironically mind you - that we return to using it!? (To be clear, I mean slavery, not offering anyone sandwiches. In fact, anyone offering free sandwiches should just be sent to jail. I am not making that up either, it’s a real thing somehow!?!? Despite what the Bible has to say about it, the “Bible-belt” states are making it illegal to offer food or water to the homeless😔)

          Apparently they do not realize the truth that slavery has already been brought back -> there are more black people behind bars today than ever existed as slaves, and not always for “crimes” but sometimes trumped up charges in order to meet a quota, or minor offenses that a white person would be let off with a warning for (yes, many actual criminals too so hard to know the reality of the scope of the issues involved when so many falsehoods are mixed in along with the truths).
