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?

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!

I honestly struggle with the politics of Afghanistan. It does appear that after 20 years we leave and within months it goes back to very similar or on its way. It’s not the US job to be the world police we did try to build coalitions and fail at the end of the day unless we’re willing to keep troops there forever which most Americans don’t want to I am not sure what the right thing to do is. And I’m sick of criticism just for the sake of the president. I don’t think there’s a perfect solution

Senior to Manager-level Data Scientists, what is the minimum set of skills and experience you require someone to have in order to train them to be a Data Scientist?

I have a handful of people from BI and Marketing who want to learn how to be a "Data Scientist" where some of them have stronger SQL knowledge and ability than others, but some of them have more exposure to languages like Python and R, and a little bit of machine learning exposure.

Appreciate the input in advance.

Recently, as you probably know, Dr. Seuss's estate chose to stop printing a few of his older books that had offensive racial stereotypes. There was huge backlash from white people, including teachers here, screaming "cancel culture!"
Now we have a white guy who murdered eight Asians in custody, unharmed; while the police officer who killed an African American man for allegedly trying to pass a bad check is about to go on trial.
Full disclosure: I'm white. But I'm still enraged by all this. You?

I’m struggling with an issue with a student right now. I teach in a suburban school outside of NYC that has a very large majority of white students. One of my Black students was recently involved in a biased incident with another student in which he received racist social media messages and racist spoken words from the other student. This was a kid that my Black student thought was his friend. He’s heartbroken, and so am I. I want to know how I can best support my student.
