The War Over Teaching America’s Racist History in Schools | The Daily Show 

Exactly. US history needs to be taught as it really was.

EXACTLY!!!

For exceptionalism to work you must first divide. That's why this isn't a simple problem to solve. Culturally speaking American's are raised to believe we a exceptional. Doesn't matter what it is based off of either. It could be because we're American, what state we come from, what school we went to, our color or our individual ability. The belief in exceptionalism is party of our national identity and it would be very difficult to change that.

Weird how the anti PC crowd is fighting to keep a PC telling of this country's history. Snowflakes can't handle the inconvenience and uncomfortable bits so it has to be watered down and sanitized.

That's the issue, distinctions are drawn and and it has to be separated for some silly reason. But in this separation the essence of jim crow remains, separate but equal is a statement of ignorance and fear of what one has not even tried to understand.

Agreed. I liked the disney pocahontas movie as a kid, as an adult i looked up the history (out of curiosity) only to find out that the only accurate line in the movie was "white men are dangerous"

@@bastiantakuya9076 our people didn't have the written stories, they had/have the verbal stories. The elders would tell the stories about their people to the children, that had been passed down generation to generation. There aren't as many elders today that have the stories of their history to tell. There are some, but not nearly enough.

You mean _true_ Native history, not the White-washed one they currently teach? That'll mean admitting that genocide and land theft did happen. 😱 They don't even teach the _full_ Declaration of Independence in schools. 🙄

I agree..

@@nHans Dude, My wife is from a town next to where The Tuskegee Experiments happened and she didn't get taught none of that.. SMH!

That’s exactly why CRT shouldn’t be taught

How is he racist???

Telling the truth doesn't make you a racist...

We also talked critically about thanksgiving and the atrocities done to the natives. However, at least in my experience, German history classes were always very focused on the holocaust but we did not really discuss our involvement in colonialism.

@@Jannyl13 It's because we came so late for the party and we started WWI because we were jealous of how successful the other nations were with colonialism.

I'm sure you can still find schools that don't mention slavery as a cause for the civil war and paint it as farmers versus dem mean ol northern' city folk (gods I wish I was joking)

@@Elias_Ehler Got better though at least in my year, because we focused more on the Kaiserreich in Highschool. However the genocide on the Herero and Tutsi remained a side note.

I don't understand the concept of choosing the history you want to focus on.

It’s interesting too bc a lot of the adults who are currently against it clearly wasn’t taught the truth. Fact is, a lot of these kids are learning this stuff and more rapidly on tiktok. Now do we want to put an actual curriculum in and teach it correctly and honestly or let anyone with a cellphone teach them whatever even if it is false. Misinformation plagues this time period, I’d hate for it to plague the minds of my and future generations

And the fact that the Fox Anchorwoman tried to use a line from MLK's speech and twist it for her narrative was also disgusting. Like, I almost have a feeling that there were plenty of people watching who didn't know it came from MLK and she knows it.

@@AlexisJoy006 i peeped had my stomach in knots...but then also forget to mention the government killed him😑

that's how Christopher Columbus was considering a hero for so long allot of history is based on lies and many don't want to acknowledge the obvious at least not admit the evil

Like any of us have EVER been told the truth.

because they cant handle self reflection

I think it's funny how confident he is slavery isn't taught here given the fact he didn't actually attend an American public school from K-12. If he did he'd know that we're taught about slavery starting at like 2nd grade, esp. in a school district with a large black population.

@@baller84milw are you saying that there is no way of knowing about something if you werent directly involved? the internet is full of knowledge and opportunities for research, he has a whole team who does it. Have you attended every school? or are you only basing your claim on your own experience? you just said, it DOES matter what school district youre in, which is why so many people are ignorant about the history of racism.

@@laylabeck7454 No it's just that he's so patently off that it's comical. At some point he has to realize that it's naive and arrogant to be so confident about something you have no personal experience with. I grew up in the 90's and I never met a kid that wasn't taught about slavery in school. This idea that schools just aren't teaching about slavery is ridiculous and comical. In MPS (Milwaukee Public Schools) we almost learned more about black history than anything else. I have a family member who's a teacher and they've said the same (the guidelines require they do this). They just spread this lie to get their base (people like you) all hyped up so you unwittingly defend a racist curriculum that teaches them only white people can be racist or bad. Ask yourself this: if slavery was abolished in 1865, and most white people immigrated here through Ellis Island which only opened it 1892 (30 years after slavery); then why do they teach kids that all white people had something to do with slavery? If our curriculum is so "pro-white" then why don't they teach that basic fact? Why do they teach young black children that most white people owned slaves when most white people's ancestors were still in Europe at the time? Also, using this same logic of scapegoating entire races, it would logically follow that we would prejudice and stigmatize all black people, based on the small percentage who are currently in street gangs or who commit violent crime. It teaches our youth backwards values and deep-seated resentment under the guise of "enlightenment" or wokeness 🤷‍♂

I am also from Germany and I must say, yes, we learn a lot about the Holocaust itself but never about how it came about that the Holocaust could happen. And now we are getting closer to making similar mistakes like a hundred years ago. We did not really learn from history (yet). Also, Germany's involvement in colonisation and past and present racism problems in Germany are not being talked about. Most Germans, is my impression, in their awareness of structural racism, and also explicit racism, are similar to Fox News.

@@nelequincke9099 In the second year of Oberstufe, our history teacher asked wheather we wanted to learn about how the NSDAP rose to power. We said yes. I think it should have been mandatory for every student, not just an option for those that go to Gymnasium.

Yeah, unfortunately we still do have a problem with racism. Not everybody gets to spend so much time on the topic, or if they did, some people still wouldn't care. This is exactly why it is so important to teach about these problems at school, when people still have fresh minds.

@@Benjamin7341 this! i remember visiting the KZ flossenbürg in 8th grade and it was a massive eye-opener...just like the dokumentationszentrum in nürnberg. and i agree it should be mandatory for all classes to do such trips. so that phrases like "never forget" are more than just fancy hashtags

By no means am I attacking you but I was wondering where did the "new" "far right" movement in Germany come from

That part.

As a person who lives the next town over from that white lady, we don't agree her discrepancies. She can keep that bs. I hope I run into her at Walmart.

Nah, she was like, "I don't wanna acknowledge racism because that means I have to acknowledge I'm a KAREN."

that’s exactly it

wow you're evil

Shhh! They'll hear you! Don't you know facts and logic are "problematic"?

EXACTLY

So 250 years of slavery followed by another century of inequality and segregation for a 400 hundred year old country isn't important aren't you proud of your white history how white people built the country off the back off minorities (you admit yourself) and continue to suppress with no restitution now trying to delete your proud past

Mmm Idk. Slavery seems like a pretty major event in this country’s history to me 🤷🏽‍♂️

Maybe because the Irish and Chinese weren't exploited for 400 years of the free labor that built America.

@julia 😂😂😂 ... nope, I think you’re missing somethin if you’re serious...

i mean, can they though? it's possible certainly. and should be quite common. but seems like people can't do it. it's like "dude, i know you're not Thomas jefferson, relax." It shows that a lot of white americans, whom don't consider themselves racist, can't even fathom being on black people's side... because they're white.

Beautiful

for real!! I have seen white women online actually crying because their kids will learn to hate America & white people. What they don't get is that MAYBE their kids will learn to respect and appreciate other races because ummm we are not our only race. There are many many races in the *world* not only in America! Sheesh!

@Bann me Again nazis what does that even mean??!

@Bann me Again nazis no but ok, let me rephrase it so your modernized mind can accept it...what is it that YOU mean with that word?...better?

@X X agree to an extent as well. In some ways "history" should maybe be viewed more as a skill and an exercise in research and critical thinking but I'm not sure how educators would approach that with younger students.

@X X what shouldn't be in k-12? Critical thinking? That's a terrifying thought. Not all students can go to university and critical thinking is a fundamental skill of the highest importance. BTW critical thinking is asking questions and having students evaluate the information on their own to come up with answers. It's not inherently biased. Add criculum that encourages students to recognize bias in themselves and in their sources.

@X X did you ever do the Oregon Trail interactive activity? Congratulations, that's critical thinking but for elementary and middle school students. Writing journal entry's "as if you are a ___" is critical thinking. Then expanding the perspectives they learn about helps them understand more of history. Some things should be left to high school when brains are more developed but elementary students can still be deep thinkers who learn multiple perspectives.

@X X critical thinking IS NOT critical race theory. I'm pretty sure I never even mentioned CRT in my comments. And trust me, CRT isn't being taught in primary school AT ALL! this isn't even an issue, it's just a made up moral panic. CRT is an upper level graduate theory taught in law school. What I'm talking about is just plain and simple critical thinking. The basics can be taught in elementary school but by high school, students need to be engaging with history in a more meaningful way that isn't memorizing dates and biographies of famous people. Memorization isn't a skill that will help them be a more informed citizen or a more rounded person.

@X X climate change and the holocaust should 100% be taught in schools. They happened/are happening and students MUST know about them to be able to make important decisions about their personal future and the future of their country and world. Any objection to those topics being taught is either very aware of their ill intentions or is woefully misinformed themselves.

Everyone has done something wrong.

where did you get your education? in Europe?

@@FlameOnTheBeat I am also from New York. Exactly how much of "that stuff" did you really learn? That's the point of the entire topic.

✊🏻🙏🏻

Mistress of weirdness 84 Of course it can be done. Is that even a question? It's a matter of whether or not racist or biased whyte people won't attempt to get in the way

@@AKing69 I am also from ny, and my teachers taught us to be very critical about the us. We would always look at history in multiple point of view. Our teacher would always tell us “history is written by the victors”.

Are you glad you learned about it anyways? I'm really asking not trying to be rude.

@@charmedleblanc I think the last quote fits very well. I dont know if I can speak for all schools, but in the last two years it is by far the most important topic. We also dont just talk about what happend during WW2 and the Holocaust, we talk about what was leading to those things and what impact it has on our society nowadays. I am very glad that I am learning about this.

@@charmedleblanc I don't know if I am glad I learned this. I just got it taught and think it's normal to know about such things so I am actually a bit shocked when seeing the numbers of America and how they deal with history class but at the same time I'm somehow not really surprised. So to come back to feeling glad or not... After learning about America I am now glad I learned about our German history. Previously I concidered it as normal. Of course here are people mentioning here and there that you don't learn about certain things but you can't learn everything there is to know just in history class but I think we learn a lot of general knowledge and that's better than nothing

They don't see or care that it is dangerous road to skip over any bad in U.S. or even World History. Next step is to re-write it... Sadly there are people today who believe and teach their children and others that the holocaust didn't happen. Teachings like that just contribute to hatred.

@@rugr82day public deny of the Holocaust is a felony in germany.

Yeah but not kids though! First teach them how to love America and the revolutionary war and then teach them about slavery and colonization in their preteen age!!

CRT isn't history

Critical race Theory comes from Marxist ideals. It literally teaches that arguments based on facts, evidence, and logic are a form of white supremacy, and therefore inadmissible. It’s all a ruse, to tell you we’re not being taught enough about our racist past. This mind thought will collapse our western civilization into socialism by the beliefs of the next generation if they continue this. It truly is damaging to its core.

I'm starting to think they just don't want the cycle to end... I mean, without racism it would be more difficult for the moneyed class to exploit the rest of us...

@@dammagrilla they don’t want the cycle to end your absolutely correct.They then come out with these insane ideals that on the front act as tho their against it, all the while promoting it behind the scenes. To say not everyone has the ability to overcome and be prosperous no matter what your skin color, in 2021, is absolutely ridiculous. We should be promoting hard work and determination. Not race theory.

@@KSealedvsK Who doesn't want it to end? I think we saw last year precisely the police arm of these entities, so tell me who did they serve when they clashed with protestors? Follow that and I think it's obvious it leads to you far more than it leads to me. Based on what exactly do think that is?

Abraham Lincoln was no saint. Read the Real Lincoln. He never cared about the slaves. The civil war wasn't about slavery it was about tariffs. The south refuse to pay their taxes they seceded from the union.

@eric Tell me, in what way are germans horrible?

Bad choice if you knew the truth about the Tyrant! It was Karl Marx who instructed Lincoln to make the war about slavery half way through the war. Karl Marx instructed Lincoln in letters and Frederick Engels instructed Gen. Grant.

(Trevor Noah and CRT - DEBUNKED) FreedomToons

Growing up in South Carolina this is what we learned too.

The "war of northern aggression" is, to my knowledge, taught throughout most of the South. This is relevant today because one of the central themes of right wing media is that the left HATES freedom, and is aggressive and violent. They repeat this meme every day, so when you grow up in school being taught about the violent lefties, their hatred of freedom, and their desire to control everyone, and THEN hear this same thing repeated by right wing pundits like Hannity, it comes across as unquestionably true... it resonates. And at that point these people will NEVER change their minds about the left.

At my school in Florida, in APUSH, we learned that the Civil War was about state's rights... specifically the "right" to keep slaves.

Wow that's crazy

I notice how certain people abuse keywords like "freedom", "in America", "liberty" just to get their half-assed point across. The irony in "mean old northerners hated freedom" is that they fought to end slavery which is the opposite of freedom.

Trust me they will not. It is important that children learn about the full American history and it will help solve same of the problems faced by society.

My classrooms always understood the history behind slavery... they weren’t happy about it! Most of them chose to research it ....there were many things that we learned together! We always discussed some complicated issues... Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings... hot topic!!

@@melusidlamini9858 dude did you think the quotation marks or the sarcastic tone of voice maybe suggested that I wasn't entirely being serious

@John Clarke I'd like you to send me some quotes from the curriculum that state that. If that's a fact it would obviously not be acceptable. However, all I've seen so far is people saying that and pointing towards general teaching regarding slavery. Teaching that *some* white people fought to keep slavery doesn't mean *all* white people are racist. Is it possible your see it that way because you were taught to lump entire races together without any understanding that a portion of is not equal to all?

It's just American history and it should start with indigenous American's which are American Indian's those are the preferred names when the tribe name isn't used. That requires correcting nearly as much as history as it does adding those other contributions.

I got lucky with my 6th grade history teacher, who taught us about the Dakota-Sioux War 1863 as part of our MN history curriculum. I teach elementary kids now, and as uncomfortable as it is, I tell them why we have a statue of a buffalo outside our local library - to commemorate 38 Native men who were executed during the conflict.

To be fair, he comes off as racist every time he talks about race, because he stereotypes people based on their race.

Is there a time when he's talking about white people that he doesn't?

That's probably because he straight up is overtly racist.

Same. I stopped calling myself a "New-Dealer" after reading about '30s redlining. Republican bankers could have opposed it and been for civil rights, but they were racist, rich elite by that point.

Yes, Trump and his father were sued in the 70’s or 80’s for exactly that

Look up racially restrictive housing covenants when you get a chance. They were as common as, rain all over the US and in territories it controlled.

This sounds like sarcasm

🤪

Yeah. School would have you thinking these are very old problems. In reality my not very old Grammy went to segregated schools for almost her entire schooling. Schools weren't forced to START desegregation until my grandma was 13 years old.

I bet that’s how the Koreans felt when Russia and America split their country in half. When America topped the Haitian government and put Papa and Baby Doc in power They set up a corrupt dictator in Iran, I could go on but I won’t

Excellent comment! Thanks!

Did you go to an American school? If you think American schools don't teach this stuff then you simply haven't been in an American school. It's all they teach in history

“I’m my country’s history “how about that!

Amen.

All it takes is once for those types. They then flood comment sections to complain about 'wokeness' and PC culture as if everything that has happened in this country isn't the root cause of it.

Bunch of screeching Karens and angry Kevins with nothing better to do than blame other people for their slight discomfort over change.

Ahh saying it again

Isn't also sad you had Diversity DAY? Why is it only a day? Why do we have Black History month when it's American history, and why is it the only month with 28 days?

😙😂😂😂😂😂😂🎊. Ah parents nature’s emotional embarrassment sometimes.

@@jasonsabbath6996 I personally don't see the point of black history month, I believe that schools should just teach black history along with white history because ultimately history is history! Why limit it to a month? Why even have a month? It should be tought yearly At least that's the way that our homschool group worked

Exactly, unless they’re accusing the school board of lying then I don’t see the problem

If “anti-racists” are so unconcerned with race, how come they only have a problem with White schools, White workplaces, White towns, White Cites and White countries? I’ve never seen any “anti-racist” complain that any place is too Brown and it has to become LESS Brown to combat racism. Who do they think they are kidding? Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

@@DontGoToHell because white people wrote the history books.. In their image.

@@jusme2106 : When you do research on who owns the companies who write history books, you might just discover motives for why they whitewash history. That reasoning has also been a part of higher education as well, and ultimately into every strata of society. It then becomes the foundation for white entitlement. White entitlement is a hangover not only from slavery, but from the ideology of Cecil Rhodes' that the English were the master race The belief that the English were the 'master race became one of the justifications for stealing/swindling the Americas from the indigenous peoples and justification for brutal slavery That 'master race' ideology morphed into white supremacy and continues to be, with subtlety, perpetuated through the educational, banking, media, political, police, and other systems in place in the US. I will admit that racism had moved from being overt and in-your-face, to a much more subtle form. We truly began to progress toward equality in our nation, but the pandemic pushed the button and now we see there is still an issue of racism in this nation. As POC, we already knew racism was still around. If anyone doubted before 2020, it is clear as crystal we are still a long way from being 'bigot free.' We can try to hide it by not incorporating that history in our school systems, like we tried to truly hide it from international politics. Now the truth of is out there, and don't think other countries aren't saying "who are they to tell us how we should treat our people? They need to do something in their own home first". Coming face to face with our very dark and shameful history is challenging, but like Germany we need to begin dealing with it without those "white woman tears", so that the future of this nation will become morally, spiritually and psychologically healthier. If we don't truly face it, we will continue to repeat it to our doom. Our children are not born racist, they learn at home. We need to teach children so that they do not carry that racist mess to the next generation.

@@jusme2106 Just not true. That’s implying that only whites are racist when that is extremely far from the truth

Yeeeaah, hate to break it to you, but most people with this set of beliefs DO take that approach towards mental health.

Mental health issue is right! I’m convinced that the concept of race was created by and continues to be perpetrated by a set of undiagnosed Egomaniacs at a minimum

Never thought of it like that. It completely makes sense.

Yes. Race is a social construct and it is a horrible one. there is much scientific evidence to rule it out, but governments are holding onto their own race categories. I only recently learned different governments have different categorizations of race. it's totally nuts! I've been priveleged to be raised in America without my much of my culture. While culture is interesting in some aspects, it is ridiculous in others, don't get me wrong the food is great, but old world traditions and mindsets that don't adapt to society as it changes, to me, is the SOURCE of the problem 🤔

Crt is not history bud

@@TormentorRain what is is CRT then?

@@tonysmith4702 go look up the definition buddy, it’s as easy as typing it on google

@@TormentorRain CRT brings up American history and its effects in the present. I rephrase my question and ask what do u think it is? It isn't an attack on individual whites or whites as a collective. It simply shows that those in power, who happen to be predominantly white, are part of the reason systems are in place that hinder non whites in America.

@Crystal Kanashii Obvious troll is obvious.

Nobody is against teaching history, what we're against is teaching white kids that they're oppressors and teaching black kids that they're helpless victims

@@JW-gl4yp Bwahahahaha

We learned about it here in Sweden too. My question is, did they teach you that this was committed by DEMOCRATS? - Or that the KKK was founded by Democrats? - Or that all KKK leaders were Democrat Senators? - Or that every Democrat presidential candidate until the 90's was an outspoken segregationist? - Or that ALL Democrats voted AGAINST black citizenship and voting rights, while all Republicans voted for it? - Or that it was the Democrats that implemented (and practiced) Jim Crow laws? Because we learned those facts in school here as well. (I can make the list a LOT longer, but you get my point).

@@trainablemonkey9912 depends on the show 🤔

@Junie Jake I dunno, I can remember saying stuff like this when I was a kid, that I learned more from TV than school. I realize we often experience the same events differently, but school is a two way street, what you put in has an impact on what you get out of it. I didn't really understand that when I was young. That said, and maybe it's because I grew up in California, but 30 years ago I remember learning about slavery, Native Americans, racism, etc. I remember learning about the root of the civil war. Maybe in other states this stuff is glossed over, I dunno. Either way, it can't hurt to spend more time on the topic, there were months of my life spent on the American revolution, honestly too much time since most of that seems like ego stroking.

@Junie Jake Maybe in your state...

It prevents us Germans to get overly proud of our nation (again), which is not the same as to hate one's own country. But I reckon these differences are too subtle for Americans …

Within many American families, any attempt to rationally discuss the very real topic of racism and how bad it was between the "first class citizens" and everyone else.. It always gets shut down by all the weird, biased, patriotic stuff like, "If you don't like it, you can leave it." It's cringe af being a native myself, them not taking in regard the deforestation, introduction of invasive foreign plant and animal species, and the attempt to wipe several native tribes' records out of memory. If it bothers them to have to hear it again and again, I would understand that but I seriously doubt it's why they get so defensive about hearing about it.

@@hape3862 I’m Dutch, near the German border, and I absolutely love Germany! You still have plenty to be proud of 😉

It took almost half a century, massive student protests, occupation, tireless campaigning by victims, the evil eye from the entire rest of the world, and, finally, some actual will to get there. Just look at the "other" WW2 power - Japan. And how they teach about their crimes. It'll make those US curriculums look sane.

@En Lightning exactly!

I was lucky that in high school African American studies were offered. I learned so much and then went on to become a Librarian helping thousands of kids over my 37 year career with their Black History projects. Broward County Florida was the most Democratic county in the state of Florida, culture shock moving just 2 1/2 hrs north

I'm black and I had to look up a couple of those names.

Exactly! Better yet, I wonder how many *adults* today know about them! If you asked those names to a child, and then asked those names to a senior citizen (both white), the saddest truth is that I would be more surprised if the *senior citizen* could name them all! My point being, teaching the truth about America's history has clearly *always* been inadequate (hence why we got Trump)! This isn't a new problem at all. It's always been there, and we're *finally* noticing it! But yes, that definitely does not mean we should find it *any less* horrifying if kids today end up learning the same inaccuracies that we, our parents, and our grandparents did!
