Honestly one of the things I’m happiest about is they can stop that “patriotic education reform” and we don’t have to deal with the global fallout of the GOP spending the next four years teaching everyone’s kids to be a bunch of little Hitler Youths
I’m honestly floored by how much American education ALREADY glosses over. Like, I hear so many adults talk about not learning about residential schools until they were in their 20’s-30’s, they were covering that as far back as 5th grade social studies at my school in Manitoba.
Granted, I don’t know if the rest of Canada goes into Native history as much as Frontier Schools in Manitoba, it’s not a subject you can really sweep under the rug when most of your students have family members who experienced it.
I remember my dad talking about moving to Manitoba back in the 70’s or 80’s and being surprised to see statues of Louis Riel everywhere, because at the time Ontario schools were still teaching kids that he was a traitorous villain who was put down for the Good of Canada.
