  1. Am I the only one who is concerned that about the very fact that we are framing our curriculum in such a way that it is conceivable for an instructor to teach students about "the other side of the Holocaust"? FACTS don't have two sides. Sure, the perspectives, with which, we use to examine them often do, but not the facts themselves. There is no "pro" side to the holocaust. There is no NET benefit to slavery. Antisemitism is real. Institutional oppression of people of color is real.

  2. In our society where you can choose to be anyone or anything you legally want to…is it QUITE certain that CRT would be destroyed simply if white people claimed to be black?

    Ohhhh can you imagine the arguments that would ensue???! The arguments that would have no basis to be argued simply because well… that's how they feel they are…

    Thanks LGBTQ community learning 🥳 👍

  3. I don't believe anything that comes out of the mouth of Steven Spielberg or Ken Burns. I don't care to even hear what opinions these two may share or in fact of anyone with HOLLYWOOD connections.. You do know who controls Hollywood do you not?

  4. [ = administrator instructing teachers to teach “opposing” perspectives on the Holocaust. = ]  

    Does the teaching opposet mean the teacher are going teach lies, fiction ? Just because it is in a book does not make it the truth, does it?
    What does that do to the liberal that are teaching the liberal side of things? Now, won't they [liberals] have to teach also conserved opposition side of things, as long as it the truth; also?

  5. Only view I see is how this came about , as the crazy Austrian was in German Army in WW1, there were always unfortunately pogroms against Those of the Jewish faith throughout Europe at the time…now had the French and British not gotten their way, and Wilson had it his way Europe, would of been in a better position. But I do question why no one speaks of the 20 million Stalin systematically killed … soooo yeah there’s allot more to learn than just what’s taught in our schools, the good lord put us on this planet we call Earth

  6. I believe the POINT of the statement was: "Be sure to get perspectives from BOTH sides of the issue". Like read some books written by the NAZIs to understand HOW this sort of thing happened.
    To just say "NOPE there is only one side of the story" is a false narrative.
    Are they saying that they want to BAN reading Mein Kampf for Christ's sake?
    The SAME PEOPLE who argue that there is only one side to the story probably ALSO believe that Columbus and the "Pilgrim" invasion of North America was all just a big party and hug fest right?

  7. Why didn't you play the entire recording. You conveyed the wrong message she was stating. She first told them they were highly professional and had the confidence of the board and they would be fully supported for their decisions. She warned them about the new Texas law and the opposing view requirements in controversial books.
    Just try to remember the concepts of [House Bill] 3979,” Peddy said in the recording, referring to a new Texas law that requires teachers to present multiple perspectives when discussing “widely debated and currently controversial” issues. “And make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust,” Peddy continued, “that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.”
    “How do you oppose the Holocaust?” one teacher said in response. 
    “Believe me,” Peddy said. “That’s come up.” Shame on you for misrepresenting her comments when she was supporting her teachers. She never condoned the behavior you stated but just warned them.

  8. There're those who deny the Armenian genocide. We have tons of evidence that 1 & 1/2 million perished by the Ottoman Turks. And still those who deny it attempt to minimize it be calling it simply a HUMAN TRAGEDY. Guess which nation that would be.. ISRAEL you betcha!.. They choose to call it a tragedy not a genocide.. they have a different version of events.. Is anyone calling the Israeli govt a bunch of anti Armenian bigots? no way Jose'! They enjoy the right to have a different version of events.. JA JA JA JA..

  9. My grandfather was a POW in WWII and weighed 60 lbs when he was rescued. The scars from the torture he experienced and survived are still felt in my generation as a millennial.

    I hope this woman resigns, hides and saves intelligent society from her stupidity in the future.

  10. Good why should only one side of the argument be represented. Sorry leftists and Bible beaters . Every book should be available for students to form their own opinions and not the ones forced down their throats. Why should kids sit there and have propaganda from leftists put in their head. Why don’t you want them to form their own opinions? Oh that’s right because they may develop different views to you. Isn’t America free? If so allow students to develop their own opinions regardless of who it hurts and offends.
