   We teach a sanitized version of US history. By sanitized I mean we omit the many events that show our past in an unfavorable light. Need an example? Even in 2024, there are pressures to sanitize our inhumane capturing and forcing labor from “other” people. Or the dislocation, by trickery, deceit, murder and physical relocation of entire communities. Need an example? Read up on the Osage people and how they “contracted” small pox when their land was coveted. So some ask, why? Why force students to learn the unpleasant side of our history as well the positive events? I believe it is so they grow into adults a little more humbled about our beginnings a little more aware that unchecked, we could do bad things to other, too. ( also to understand what might happen to us, should a more technologically advanced species visits us.)

   Good! Reuse and give things a second life! It’s a wonderful habit to cultivate because it expands your imagination, saves you money, and prepares you for leaner times.

   Oh, ok thanks. I admit I’m completely out of the tech loop and all its internal workings. Even what my phone can now do seems like magic to me. Lol

    ….“Ultimately, though, the group — composed of Jeff Gillooly, Shane Stant, Derrick Smith, and Harding’s bodyguard Shawn Eckardt — decided to smash her knee with an iron bar.It was decided then that Stant would be the one to strike, with Smith waiting nearby as a getaway driver.”… By Austin Harvey in Allthatsinterestingdotcom.
