Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

Yet these same people feel ZERO "discomfort" when defending the Confederate statues...!

If some children want to learn a very complex history of the US; then that should be their decision, NOT the GOP's.

These laws can't be Constitutional. Why isn't someone challenging these laws?

There's a reason why black Wallstreet was never widely known.. or what happened to them.

Not in OK or elsewhere....

[dlebreton]

History is history. There is no way to stop knowledge of the past. IT HAPPENED!

The miniseries ROOTS should be revived. It’s an accurate depiction of slavery.

[lindalovesdance]

[JasonShaw-hhxi]

What about my feeling, hurt, walked on, bullied, etc., by history not being taught.🤘💙

"Those who cannot learn from the mistakes of the past are destined to repeat them." In the case of the GOP, you should replace the word destined with "determined".

6:17 currently Oklahoma Gov Kevin Stitt is annexing eastern Oklahoma territory that belongs to the 5 tribes, claiming that it has not been properly developed.

Ban Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of America” and watch it become THE most read book in America. These attempts to suppress free speech ALWAYS backfire. 😂
It’s an excellent book BTW.

[vickiecordon]

What about talking about history, black history, slavery, murder of gays, etc .in a public place? Will that be forbidden in the future?

[roberthanks]

If someone can't handle the search for historical truth, doesn't that make them a "snow flake."
