Why has historical myth-making grown in recent years? @julianzelizer tells @MehdiRHasan that it’s partly because politicized classrooms have made it harder to teach self-critical history.

Teachers are scared. Many of us don’t have unions, can’t negotiate evaluations, and are worried about parents and administrators who don’t know enough about history besides cherry trees and pilgrims.

Mehdi, you look up to a slave trading r*pist as your perfect example of humanity. You're in no position to criticise others denial of historic reality.
You folks simply want our children to feel shame for something they have absolutely no control over! You want children to hate each other for things they have no control over!! You want to teach our children that it's okay to pretend to be what you cannot possibly EVER be! NOPE!

If you get indoctrination instead of a really education, this is what you get. Pure hate & this fool is the poster child.
