Does teaching Holocaust make us hate modern Germany? Does teaching about Pearl Harbor makes us hate modern Japan? Why do they think that teaching black history is exclusively spreading hate?

Because she wants slaves.
Because they don't see the racist, slave-holding south as a past entity separate from their current reality.
If the federal government weren't stopping them, they'd re-enslave people today. In fact, they have via the prison system. So they don't want anyone closely examining it, hence banning or slowing the subject in schools if they're able.
She probably does hate Japan, but I'll bet Germany gets a pass for some reason 🤔
“We’ve got to get back to the basics of teaching math, of teaching reading, writing and American history,” Sanders said.
This is American history, you dumb racist asshole.
The College Board, who runs the AP program, just needs to yank certification for any state that tries to play this game of cherry picking which courses they "approve" of. You teach them all or you get nothing. Fuck these bigots and their backasswards states.
That's why they should be taught. If there is hate for a foul past, that's a good thing.
Humanity has bad spots and problems everywhere. Here in the US we throw the expression "greatest country" at the drop of a hat. What is greatness, if not to try to work on our problems as much or better than everyone else is working on theirs?
People that want to wallpaper over our history of mistakes are doing the opposite of making the country great. True greatness is recognizing the problems and working hard to fix them. People like Sanders are the opposite of patriots. She would have us lie about who we are and what we've done, perpetuate our mistakes, and oppose those that want to do the work to actually make us greater.
It’s right to hate hateful things. Perhaps the lesson isn’t to hide from, but instead to fix, the things you hate. Or, maybe she’d prefer not to fix these things after all.
Sarah has not had a single novel idea as Governor. It has been dog whistles and the perpetuation of "owning the libs" that has occupied her time, and bringing in the Department of Education guy (Jacob Olivia) from Florida is a part of it. She should do better.
You know what makes me more full of hate than any section of history ever?
This inbred dipshit's face. That wore-out workboot looking thing makes me want to give myself a vinegar enema after shitting sandpaper for a week.
