PBS published an opinion piece that canvassed different teaching methods required for approaching Thanksgiving and Christopher Columbus.
The piece by a teacher claims to present the unvarnished “real story’ for both historical markers rather than what it claimed could be construed as a “fake narrative.”
“My students felt betrayed, angry even, that throughout their elementary and middle school years, teachers had pushed a fake narrative about Columbus, or had done little, if anything, to correct the record.
When it comes to teaching younger children about Columbus, it’s understandable that certain details should be left out. Still, we do students a tremendous disservice when we celebrate only Colmbus’s bravery, without noting how he personified evil and wrongdoing.“
