Or worse, students going to be taught this was the best era… Hearing your grandkids tell you about how their history books explained the US had always been at war with the evil canadians and that the greatest president HAD to round up all the mexican murders to secure their futures.
Edit- just mentioning because I already see this shit with my 13 yo nephew. He’s obviously too young to understand anything about anything, but his immediate family is all in on trump, his classmates think he’s cool rocking trump gear, his biggest aspiration is to get involved with TP USA in the next couple years. This shit has hit the fan enough already - considering the thought of adding curriculum indoctrination is horrifying to me.
Yeah, the way the history books painted Hitler was like he was a supervillain with the power of convincing people to do what he wants against their will. Now I know that’s probably not true and that the Germans were probably just dumb as fuck pieces of shit that would’ve hammered their own faces if they were told to.
There were already plenty of examples to show that making people viscerally hate an arbitrary group of people is incredibly easy. The Stanford prison experiment is so well-known because it perfectly outlines our own innate desire to fit in, even when it means becoming evil, despite how much we want to convince ourselves that we’re above it.
Students learning about the Trump era gonna think we dumb as fuck
Know we are dumb as fuck, you mean
We are dumb as fuck
About 1/3 of us are dumb as fuck
⅔ are dumber as fuck
This helped me understand the lead up to WWII so much better.
Was it really necessary to do a practical example?

Unless the republicans are able to control all the books and curriculum in schools
It’s going to be Germany 1933-1945 all over again, except the leader is considered even more of a clown than the first time.

Depends on who writes the history books
Bold of you to assume students will learn about this in the future
