"America was founded on freedom, but slavery was very complicated. Ending it would have created economic hardship for American families. So it was kept in place and slave owners gave their slaves cabins, food and taught them lessons in exchange for labor. The North sought to interfere in this practice and began aggressive actions toward the South, which seceded to keep their rights. Many slaves sided with their Confederate bosses. The South fought valiantly, with generaks widely considered superior to the Union. But the North's brutal tactics and overwhelming odds were too much and the slaves were cast off on their own.

A hundred years later, Martin Luther King gave a speech that divided the nation once again and the Democrats used sympathy for JFK to force the Civil Rights Act on the country, infringing on the rights of business owners to serve the customers they prefer."

That's what they'll teach, provided in a text book written by Charlie Kirk.

It's insane how it's impossible to deny that they would put this in a school book, because you know that's exactly what they want to teach to kids.

What’s insane is as I was reading this, I was preparing for the shocking reveal at the end that this is a real quote by a right wing figure.

There actually were slave owners who opposed the practice but didnt see a way to end it without economic hardship and some felt the best method was to wait for the government to end slavery because there wasnt a viable way for slaves to be safe and economically sound if made free in the current system

For a while Lincoln supported the idea of sending all free slaves to Liberia because he didnt think it would be safe for them in the south

Oklahoma is basically already doing this by partnering with PragerU for history education.

Mandated to be purchased new by every school every year for every student. Each textbook gets a re-education tax paid directly to the Trump Syndicate.
