I’m not sure how to feel about this one, but I also wouldn’t want to suffer.
Not sure why the restriction from lemmy.

So if I understand correctly, it prescribes that our (Indiana) schools can teach my kid about George Washington, but not that he owned slaves?
If that’s correct, for what reason? Is the mention of this becoming the whole point and we’re saying everything is about race/slaves/oppression, or are we hiding things as to not reveal people’s ugly defects?
Does this lose sight of judging people on today’s standards versus the standards of their time? (Not advocating for owning people)
No, it’s the opposite: you can’t teach about George Washington unless you are teaching about and only about his support of slavery.
If that’s true, I am strongly opposed.
I believe we can and should teach the whole truth, in the proper context, and appreciate what we did right and what we didn’t (historical figures, policies, society, etc).
