Thank you for addressing this. It’s a shame that there is such a debate on whether we should teach K-12 students biased history or reality. These debates have definitely deterred myself from going into 7-12 education, where teachers face significant restriction and scrutiny for how they teach history.
I was thinking of you, Justin. In your podcast with me you talk about your decision to teach History instead of English deriving from your passion, which is as it should be. Though English faces similar thoughtless and political intrusion into the curriculum through monitoring of books and banning, etc., in History the Florida standards distort the whole project of History. I’d love to read more commentary from you about your thinking right now, and I bet other members of the ltRRtl community would benefit, too. Thanks for responding.
