I think I have better intentions than the American propagandists that make the curriculums. I don’t think “telling weird lies about the founding fathers to make them sound awesome” is a necessity, and I question the ability and motives of anyone who makes that part of the curriculum. I didn’t realize this was gonna be a controversial take.

Do you have any examples of history books that aren't "American propagandists" creating curriculums?

Not covering the history of Sudan in an American elementary school textbook is not a propagandizing.

Choices must be made.

I gave you an example of exactly what I was talking about man.

I asked for an example that wasn't propaganda.

I don’t understand what you mean. You want an example of a history book that isn’t propaganda? Wtf if your goal here? Pick any history book that just tells history. What a stupid question lol

You want an example of an American history book that’s taught in schools that ISN’T American propaganda? First of all, I’m not American. Second of all, it’s a ridiculous ask for someone online to look through curriculum textbooks and find one example of one that isn’t propagandized for you so you can make a point. Like, it’s such a silly ass request that I almost didn’t bother responding to you.

I want you to realize you're just another audience member in the meme.

Leave the context of the history text book to the subject matter experts.

This notion that they need our input is moronic.

It started with people wanting to inject propaganda and it's stuck in a cycle of non-subject matter experts arguing over what is the proper level of propaganda without understanding that's what is being asked.

THE PROPER LEVEL IS ZERO YOU SAUSAGE

Critical thinking is not your thing. Zero is not possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thinking in general doesn’t seem to be your thing bud.

Strawman. No one said Sudan.
