Literature is rife with cultural biases, exagerations and downright prejudice/discriminatory actions.
History is rife with cultural biases, exagerations and downright prejudice/discriminatory actions.
Let's not talk about these things to our kids. They might actually understand and learn about the past and possibly avoid those mistakes in their own lives.
Imagine the lives of the children that lived through slavery, religious persecution (the Mormons got it from state to state before they settled in Utah), genocide, etc. By teaching children how these acts are evil maybe they can avoid some of it in future.
Or we could push their heads into the sand and hope for the best.
