How is it that we don't change the way we teach history when more evidence comes to light to change given fact?

High school history texts are controlled by the local school boards, so they just might pick books that don't tell everything. Case in point, in Alabama or Georgia the school boards just may choose books that gloss over Jim Crow, Blacks or the Trail of Tears, but have a great deal to say about Reconstruction. That's why there are colleges.

In college texts everything is laid bare, if it's bad they tell you about it and it is discussed in nauseating detail depending on the predilection of the professor.

Please tell us of how you can speak with such authority on this matter.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
