Native Americans

CNN reported today an extreme example of CRT. Instead of just teaching the history of the Holocaust some third grade students were asked to recreate the Holocaust. One student was assigned to play the role of Hitler and others were to dig their classmates mass graves and stimulate shooting the victims. The students likely felt guilty about what happened and perhaps that was the point. The dark days of history can and should be taught but students should not be made to feel guilty about events that they had no control over. While this hopefully a one-off many history lessons are taught in ways that students are left feeling that they are somehow responsible. I have witnessed this when the subject is the treatment of Native Americans.
