A news article today about the “destruction of history” and “anti American teaching” reminded me of something that happened during the COVID years…

I was doing an American history unit on “what makes an American an American?” And had primary sources about the Japanese internment camps and the 100th infantry (all Japanese American infantry battalion).

Parent emailed me about “teaching DEI crap” and to teach about real American heroes like those who fought at Normandy.

I asked him what was DEI about the most decorated unit in ww2.

So… don’t be discouraged. The people crying about destroying history want to hide history that doesn’t align with their values.
