I support teaching history as it is, no matter how difficult the topic. History is truth.

In order to make the United States great, our youth need to understand who we are--the good and the bad.
Judith Soriano | Fort Worth, TX
We are not Nazi Germany -- yet -- where education became a tool of propaganda and books were burned in the streets. So, yes, the truth of Reconstruction must be taught so that students can understand the transition from slavery to Jim Crow to the Civil Rights movement to the renewed attack on voting rights in this country. Kids should know that the struggle for equality is a real one.

I believe that the truth in history no matter how ugly and brutal liberates and protects our youth in the future as they become civic minded participants in their communities, state and nation. Understanding the past and how they are connected helps students to make informed decisions as it impacts their present

If teaching the truth about American history is "un-American," then what does that say about the integrity of this country?
Valerie Street | Austin, TX
George Stevens | Loveland, CO
Reconstruction is an important part of this country's history and the closest we have come to full participation in the governance of our country. Progress next is rolled back: As has been the case through our country's history and racism of so many types, fear, anger, bitterness, and an assumption that life is a zero-sum game if whites and black share influence and power whites will lose what they have. We must stop the lies; instead engage in truth telling. Neither our country or its people are pure. The truth lies in honestly depicting our history to today's and tomorrow's learners!
