Kobe claims he was taught the following in school
Is there anyone of you out there who can confirm that you were taught any of this when you were in school? I think I heard the cherry tree story when I was in first grade and even then my teacher, who was an old woman in her 60s, told us the story most likely wasn't true. I was never taught that the Civil War was just about states rights. And the treatment of the American Indians was never whitewashed when I was in school. Now I went to school in the late 60s, 70s and 80s. Well before the hate America leftist crowd took over education and even then I was never taught this crap.

There are so many whack jobs out there teaching, who knows how poor of an education kobe got. Its clear that it wasn't good.
My kids are both out of college now but their educations in k-12 were excellent. The school district didn't put up with the woke shit, book burnings or the slaughter of our country's history and teach the kids how evil we all are as Americans. I am very thankful we moved into the district we did. -
That just tells me that 1) The Mercer Island School District is shit or 2) @TheKobeStopper never made it past kindergarten.SFGbob said:I was taught that George Washington could not tell a lie and told his dad he cut down the cherry tree. That the Indians and Pilgrims had a nice pleasant meal and nothing else happened. That the civil war was about “states rights”.

You think Kobe was being taught about the Civil War in kindergarten?

I was also taught that George threw a silver dollar across the Potomac River. That nailed it for me that he was truly a super hero. I may have heard that Lincoln and the Union freed the slaves, but no one in my elementary school believed that sh*t. We knew it was all about tariffs. Drilled into us.

And being called "dumb" by the fucking racist moron who thinks evolution has nothing to do with genetics really stings Kobe. -
Btw, as usual neither of those links support your fucking mouth. Texas wasn't teaching that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War and nobody was teaching that the Indians and Pilgrims had a nice meal and nothing else happened.

I learned that God created America for the white man, which is why all acts of racism and attempts at genocide by them are justified. That was way back in the 1990s, though. It was a different time.

I was taught the food pyramid was the healthiest way to eat. And an ice age was imminent. Also, the world would be out of oil by 1990 and there would be a mass starvation event. However, I was never taught the civil war was about states rights.

I was taught that illegal immigration was about state's rights

I spent a ton of time reading and learning about the Civil War as a teenager ...
You can’t separate the issues of the late 1850s and leading into the Civil War time period without slavery being a massive issue.
To say it was the only issue though is missing the point a bit.
The Northern states at that point were far more industrial and the South far more agriculturally based. Trying to find common ground was virtually impossible. Slavery obviously the most focal part of the disagreements.
Then far more than now the importance of State’s rights was a paramount issue. To understand that you have to understand the principles as to how the nation was founded and why certain separations and protections were built in to ensure states had influence to keep the federal government from overstepping.
For those that need perspective, understand that Robert E. Lee made his decision on which side to serve on based on the direction of his state. Times have changed obviously.
We also need to understand the lessons of history. We have evolved throughout history but basic principles remain. Knowing how to avoid those pitfalls matters. As a country, we’d be well served right now to understand lessons of the past. -
When I was young, we were taught the Indians and Pilgrams had a nice meal and we did aren’t projects relating to it.

I didn't know non-white folks had slaves until college

This is just the point I originally made, that we get taught things that aren’t true. Bob’s fixation with the specifics of what exactly was taught, predictably, misses the point.MikeDamone said:I was taught the food pyramid was the healthiest way to eat. And an ice age was imminent.

One side betrayed their country and fought a war, that killed 2% of the population, to own human beings. Your centrist “well if you look at both sides” bullshit is not necessary.Tequilla said:I spent a ton of time reading and learning about the Civil War as a teenager ...

I don’t know why they didn’t hold hands, sing kumbaya and drop bombs on foreign countries to settle it like moderates. But sometimes you have to actually fight evil and not just hate both extremes (owning slaves and not owning slaves being the “extremes” in this example”). -

I'm sure it's painful to look at both sides, but weren't both sides deeply involved in that evil? -

Indentured servitude was real and ugly but will never hit the current mainstream talking points as readily as slavery. This isn’t trying to claim that one was “better” than the other ... both were terrible and fortunately they’ve both been long rooted out of American society.
Long winded way of saying that if you look back on activities 160+ years ago through the lease of today your going to be missing context. To understand the issues at the time you have to understand why it was what it was at that point. You have to be willing to ask yourself why slavery existed? You have to be willing to ask yourself why indentured servitude existed well over 200+ years ago.
The world then was far different than it is today. Thankfully we continue to evolve and have evolved significantly. Think about it this way ... a child born at the end of the Civil War could have been a great grandchild born in the 1930s ... who is a great grandparent to a child born today. Let’s hope that by the time that child born today becomes a great grandparent the world has continued to significantly evolve for the better. -

Translation: I talked out my ass and was called on it, after initially trying to support my bullshit claims with some links that didn't support my bullshit claims, I now want to change the subject and talk about how in general we're taught things that aren't true and not about the "specifics" that I brought up.TheKobeStopper said:
