Texas A&M is having some issues

I read it as an indictment on indoctrination in American education. Anyway, if you feel it was a generalization, I agree with that based upon the limited association between history/social studies w "education." I don't, however, agree with your swipe at NY schools.

 

I wasn’t bitching about it. I noted that I was in a really good school system. However, I pointed out that we were never taught about things like Columbus’s genocide of indigenous people in America, the brutality inflicted on slaves, including the separation of families, the rape of women, The denial of infants being breast-fed after a few months, etc. My guess is that was typical of the education that kids around the country received who were of my generation. Now, we have people like Ron DeSantis, who don’t want children to learn the realities of American history, including the pluses and minuses.

 

Yet you have no issue with his initial swipe at Florida schools….pretty telling.

 

If you are referring to me, I am quite curious at what you believe was my initial swipe at Florida schools.

 

Your words from post 23:

Today, in most Republican-controlled states, including in Florida, there seems to be an education goal of keeping kids in the dark about what really happened throughout our history. In other words, let’s go back to the good old days of how K through 12 were taught.
