Political Memes

I wasn't taught much from the "slavery is good" angle in GA. It was more subtle, framed as mostly information about the goods traded and what slaves produced for the countries they were in. Like, it was all about the slave trade industry and not how awful the conditions were.

Lots of information glossed over in favor of capitalism.

6. God created everything 6000 years ago

WWII might be risky because some students might ask what specifically made the world consider the axis evil.

They wouldn't pass up on WWII since that's the last time we were honestly seen as the good guys to the world.

Literally the only time anyone thought you were the good guys lol.

You’d think they would want to talk about the Civil war too. That was a notable event in history where the democrat party of the time was the bad guys and wanted to keep slavery legal.

It would be, but only to talk about how it was a waste of taxpayer money

The moon landing wouldn’t be up there in red states.

Of course it would. It is one of the few actually valid examples of American exceptionalism which nationalists absolutely require as the underpinnings to their myopic ethos. In addition to teaching the history of this wonderful achievement, it will also be taught how these events never actually took place to support their claims the government actively lies to the American people requiring action for citizens to "take back" the country. Questions for both viewpoints will be on the midterm, so remember to study.

If you're wondering how these two contradictory ideas can be taught in the same classroom, then remember in MAGA school the class taught immediately prior to history is "Learning to live with Cognitive Dissonance".

Also gotta teach both theories of how the moon landing could have happened...

(how) the moon landing (was faked)

That's probably what they'll teach. That it was a fake liberal lie to undermine the glorious nation of Russia.

you can’t teach something that is fake.

Uh... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can though. Here's a little example:

Africa is a shithole country. White people were kind to accept the slaves that Africans themselves provided, and civilized them. They even gave them sammiches sometimes!

There problem solved: now little Timmy doesn't have to feel guilty about being the oppressor anymore! :-P Next week we'll cover how chaining native Americans to (active) hot stoves in >100 degree temps in the desert will help teach them the true meaning of Christianity...

The space Odyssey?

I bet they leave in plenty of time to talk about how oppressed the Mormons have been.

They tried that with Core and No Child Left Behind. AFAIK though deeply unpopular (for political and non-political reasons) they did raise the bottom bar of education in all the states.

That wealthy Saudi businessman, who had direct financial ties to the sitting president at the time.

Direct financial ties being partnership in a group that owned a bunch of arms manufacturers.

It's because Republicans were against it after trump getting put off of ballots from the 14th amendment.
