    That’s why they should be taught. If there is hate for a foul past, that’s a good thing.

      Humanity has bad spots and problems everywhere. Here in the US we throw the expression “greatest country” at the drop of a hat. What is greatness, if not to try to work on our problems as much or better than everyone else is working on theirs?

      People that want to wallpaper over our history of mistakes are doing the opposite of making the country great. True greatness is recognizing the problems and working hard to fix them. People like Sanders are the opposite of patriots. She would have us lie about who we are and what we’ve done, perpetuate our mistakes, and oppose those that want to do the work to actually make us greater.
