Hawaii isn’t just beautiful land & beaches. There’s an ugly historical underbelly there - from Dole Pineapple deposing Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 all the way to Monsanto and GMO’s in Maui today. It’s time for our generation to rise up, become aware & take a stand for human values

We don't teach history anymore.

That’s a very good point. The undereducation of so many Americans - particularly about history - is at the root of many of our problems today.

If you want to talk about under-education, lets start with the fearmongering over GMO's. If it was just over business practices/licensing then I can understand but not the GMO's themselves.

How about just Hawaiian history!

And scientific ignorance. (looking at you)

Key question is *whose* history (or which histories) we teach. As a school board member in my town, I’ve seen the focus on standardized testing privileging all other subjects above social studies. LOVE when @marwilliamson speaks on schools as palaces of learning, art, culture.

The challenges faced by indigenous communities are all but ignored by mainstream media. Teaching the unabridged history of this country is vital for social and cultural progress.
