A good teacher can do both.
At least you admit it's about white Christian conservatives maintaining control of the narrative.
Which is... controlling. No surprise there.

"Critical Race Theory is out to destroy Christianity in this nation."
That's just plain nuts.

Leave it to Beaver premiered on October 4, 1957: one month to the day after that photo from Little Rock was taken. America was not innocent, and the evil wasn't only in the heart of Hazel Bryan or other Little Rock whites. It was a national sickness. One most whites ignored...
...or simply couldn't allow themselves to see. Any nation that produces hagiographic representations of itself, at a time when others are being assailed and destroyed, deserves to be exposed as the fraud it is...
And those who bought the lie -- whose childhoods were dependent upon it -- deserve to have their memories assaulted with truth, to be confronted with reality no matter how difficult. It's called growing up. It's called not being able to wallow in infantile naivete anymore...
White Americans have an understanding of this country which is, by and large, infantile. And we are held hostage by our own ignorance. James Baldwin said it best...
'These innocent people are trapped in a history they do not understand, and until they understand it, they cannot be released from it.' We want release without recognition, pardon without pain, forgiveness without facing the truth of what this nation has done in OUR name...
And to our relative benefit for centuries. We want the America of the Cleaver family, because we fail to realize it NEVER EXISTED. It was a myth. A lie. Always. Reality was represented by that other picture from Little Rock...
And it wasn't just the overt haters like Hazel Bryan and her fellow racist students. It was the millions of whites who maybe wouldn't have screamed hate like that, but did NOTHING to bring down segregation. That was the vast majority of our parents/grandparents...
And that silence, that acquiescence, was more evil than Hazel Bryan. At least Hazel had the courage of her awful convictions. Far worse to be the white person who accepted segregation quietly and compromised their humanity without even having the guts to own their sickness...

No
You must necessarily focus on one
Duh
Retarded ideas should indeed be controlled and not allowed to be taught to our children
Are you sure?
Usually retards like you are surprised when the truth is shown to them.

Do you teach Manifest Destiny proudly or with a sneer?

That's controlling.
And that's why controlling white Christian conservatives want to keep U.S. history whitewashed.

Are you a professional educator?

No. I know where this is going though.
You'll tell me that you were, and I'll ask you if you're a history professor and you'll say no, but you were a special ed teacher once.

Let's return to this:
| Because a lesson plan has to have a focus. And by focusing on one aspect you are of necessity focusing away from another aspect. |
No professional educator would disagree with that.

Let's not. Let's talk about how you'd like white Christian conservatives to control how U.S. history is taught.

I am dual cert. One of my certifications is in Special Ed. As a Special Ed teacher, I was a generalist. I was trained to teach all subjects.

I'm not all that focused on "white Christian conservatives" controlling how US history is taught. I'm much more concerned that US history NOT be taught by retarded "progressive" leftist marxist types like you.

Fox has mentioned “critical race theory” nearly 1,300 times in the past 3.5 months
Critical race theory, to those who can actually define it, is an academic and legal framework that examines the impact of systemic racism on American society. For conservatives however, it’s the latest boogeyman they can use to scare people into thinking America’s children are being “indoctrinated” by “woke” leftist teachers. And while that is not even remotely the case, this idea is exploding on Fox News and in Republican-run state legislatures, leading to legislative bans in many states and skyrocketing mentions of critical race theory on the network.
Fox has admitted its reason for this souped-up coverage: the 2022 midterm elections. And in order to drum up outrage, the network has repeatedly amplified a lie that critical race theory teaches that one race is “inherently superior to another.” More recently, in its continued efforts to demonize it, Fox News has promoted a pamphlet that echoes the white nationalist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory.
1,300 times in 3/12 months. Talk about an agenda...

The poor confederate slave owner didn't know what she was going to do, now that the slaves had been emancipated and she had to pay people to work on the plantation.
Leftist weenies scared to death a 100-year-old statue is going to get up and come after them on the street are accusing conservatives of fearing stupid false leftist revisions of history? Nonsense.
It does not matter how lefties try to dress up their perversion and wickedness, they will never please God with their support for abortion, sodomy, and stupid, lying, leftist, racist, black supremacy perversions of history.
