With it’s anniversary approaching, how do teachers teach January 6, 2021?

It's a slippery slope. It's already been mentioned that it might depend on the grade.

Do you jump right into a discussion, or do you allow it to come up as an aside? If students bring it up, then the discussion should take place.

Otherwise, students go home and report to their terrorist supporting parents, and we have governors threatening to withhold payment from teachers who mention it.

Not unlike teaching about our nation's horrendous history.

If your history class is studying WWI, how do you just one day say, now let's do current events.

Why, ever social studies class has some element of current events, especially when the students living at the time know events did occur, just think back to your own education

So what should social studies teachers be telling their 14 year old students about the Biden administration's first year in office?

Slavery, yes. Genocide, no.

Slavery was brutal, but horrendous by the standard of the time? No.

I'm not interested in the willful denial of people at a given time, or previous standards. I'm sure it wasn't horrendous by the standards of racist, white plantation owners.

But slavery was horrendous by any civilized standard. And it's part of our history. As is genocide (not really disputable).

People should realize that it's okay to be honest about how we got here. Loving the country and recognizing that we have a less-than-admirable history in certain respects are not mutually exclusive. It bothers me that people want to candycoat our history - and that includes liberals who want to take racial slurs out of "Huck Finn" and try to apply PC to historical figures or events. The CRT controversy is embarrassing to me. Why are people afraid of truth?

There were a lot of proud, courageous and amazing things about American history. There is also horror, moral depravity and actions worthy of permanent condemnation.

It's nice to know you are one of the fascists who wants to kill everyone who disagrees with you. Good luck finding someone to do it for you since you don't have the stones to do it yourself.

Right wing ideology: Slavery is ok. Attacking the Capitol is ok.
