Nope, ignoring the truth is one thing I'm good at

Kids in school need to hear the truth
I agree. White people oppressed black people (slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, etc.) for centuries. Just because it hurts the feelings of some fragile snowflakes doesn't mean it didn't happen and shouldn't be taught. Kids need to hear the truth - it did and should.
And Africans enslaved white people for centuries (see Barbary Slave Trade and Muslim enslavement of Europeans) And black people oppressed other black people for millennia. Without Africans capturing other Africans and selling them to European slave traders there would have been no Atlantic slave trade. Every race on earth practiced slavers for centuries.

I don't disagree. Where I disagree is in not teaching the truth because it hurts the tender feelings of easily triggered snowflakes.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88
