MY LITTLE SISTER’S HISTORY TEACHER IS MAKING THEM LIST THE “POSITIVE EFFECTS” OF IMPERIALISM??????

forcing students into the mental exercise of justifying/rationalizing genocide because of its supposed “positive effects” itself perpetuates genocide and indoctrinates them into supporting an imperial war machine.

my sister is @CeceWalsh3 btw <3

and to be clear, this is a public high school in one of the most "progressive" cities in the US — Cambridge, MA.

it's not just Republicans banning CRT that are revising history — racist, imperialist revisionism it is a key objective of the entire US education system.

My lib history teacher made me do that too. On one column was "the British built ports in their colonies :so-true: " and the other was "fucking genocide :agony-deep:

Ports, and shit any infrastructure, specifically built and designed to export materials and goods from the colony.

"wow the Brits * gave* this country railroads!" yeah, but why is it a single rail, running from the port, to the mines, with no stops inbetween?

Note here the difference between heavily colonized countries in East Africa and a settler-colonial project like South Africa. Also note that the gauges do not match.
