Southlake, Texas

If a teacher is going to have books on the Holocaust in their classroom the school executive advised them to have books that present the opposing view.

Late last year, one of those parents complained when her daughter brought home a copy of This Book Is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewell from her fourth grade teachers class library. The mother also complained about how the teacher responded to her concerns

Carroll administrators investigated and decided against disciplining the teacher. But last week, on Oct. 4, the Carroll school board voted 3-2 to overturn the districts decision and formally reprimanded the teacher, setting off unease among Carroll teachers who said they fear the board wont protect them if a parent complains about a book in their class.


They shouldnt BE protected 100%.  There has to be oversight.

So Red, what is a worse problem, temporary supply chain issues, or 10% unemployment? Klain thinks the second is worse.
LOL
It is not an either or.
The supply chain mess affects everybody. Class warfare didn
You have no clue what Klain actually retweeted in context, do you?

I remember the questions from my kids when they were reading Number the Stars and Follow The Drinking Gourd

These books are necessary

Never Forget Never Again should be understood at an early age.

What difference does the grade make? College profs get oversight as well. Get right wing bullshit about that oversight being canceling all the time. While the right remains committed to canceling any discussion of race or slavery that makes them uncomfortable. The books are age appropriate. And note, what the board called for was books presenting the opposite side as well. Opposite side of anti-slavery and the Holocaust. What would that be? Mein Kampf and the CSA Constitution?

Heh.

The opposite side on the Holocaust?  That would be Mel Gibsons father:  Holocaust never happened.   Yeah,  lets teach that in schools.   And Wounded Knee and Sand Creek were just keg parties that got out of hand.   Slavery?   Just an immigrant jobs program!

We all have what Karl Jung called a shadow self.   That hidden self wants to do terrible things,  be violent, cunning, selfish,  greedy, rapacious,  etc.   The way we grow up and make friends with that shadow self is by recognizing it exists and negotiating with it so that we can harness its strengths and control its impulses.  Children who never learn about the darker self of humanity,  who are sheltered from the past emergences of the dark side,  risk being overtaken and overthrown by it.   Even long ago,  people understood this,  and made dark fairy tales for children to get them, in a fairly secure space,  prepared for that greedy violent ape that lives within.  Children beyond the fairy tale phase, like 4th grade and up,  can begin to learn some of the dark history mixed in with the light - its incredibly important to becoming a whole person.

These MAGAts pledged allegiance to a flag carried during the 1/6 Insurrection.

The Nazis had the Blutfahne, a blood soaked flag carried at the 1923 Munich Beer Hall Putsch.

Hitler thought the flag had sacred powers.
