Yes... I'm tempted to add, "Duh."
The only caveat I would make is that some events might be too graphic to describe in detail to elementary schoolers--for instance, the part after the first Thanksgiving where Squanto turned yellow and bled out; or when the colonists knew they couldn't defeat a village of natives in battle, but they wanted the land, so they burned the whole place down when everyone was asleep, children and all.
Or various treatments of slaves (they mention Harriet Tubman, but usually fail to note that she was brain-damaged as a child when her owner threw a lead weight that struck her head, and that the US government refused to grant her any kind of pension after her service in the Civil War).
Or anything about the Trail of Tears, the reason there is a "Lynching Museum" in Alabama, the greed of companies causing women's jaws to fall out due to radiation poisoning...
Yikes. Now that I've started listing these, and knowing how many more I could add, I guess the question becomes--How do we tell the truth about our history without causing trauma in students?

@ASS1, “Giving my privilege”… What do you mean?

Yes. If we don’t teach the truth, we devalue at least two whole groups of people. Children need to learn of the hypocrisy of the founding fathers who looked for their own freedom while calling black slaves 3/5s of a person—while holding slaves themselves!

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Something to think about... If you awakened tomorrow and your skin was a different color, ask yourself how you might feel and why? Don’t respond directly just think about that. Imagine you are not the enlightened person you are. 😬

While we’re on the topic of teacher disrespect: https://forward.com/life/162899/what-s-with-all-the-teacher-hate/?gamp “Teachers had opted out of the capitalist game; they weren’t in this world for money. There could be only one reason for that: they were losers. They were dimwitted, unambitious, complacent, unimaginative, and risk-averse. They were middle class.”

Allyship
I recently failed in an opportunity to show allyship. During a meeting, the presenter called an attendee the English version of the attendee’s (ethnic) name.

I noticed it right away, and thought about it but failed to correct them. The person whose name was colonized was very hurt and expressed it.

Next time, I won’t hesitate. I’ll be ready next time.

Have you had any similar experiences?
