[QUOTE="coffee4u, post: 76372924, member: 415399"] I had posters saying its good enough to say 'slavery is bad' and move on. If that is the extent of the US take on black slavery then your school system is in big trouble. I say teenagers should be shown facts and reasons why something is bad but also that they should be able to look at the opposing view and that should be discussed as well. Understanding someones point of view even when you disagree with them is not some terrible thing, as understanding how something happened can prevent it from happening again. I have a working but not extensive knowledge of US history. As homeschoolers we actually took one year to look at US history; native, black and general some years back. It was quite challenging to find books that gave a balanced view. We managed to find books by both native and black authors as I felt that would be our best chance of gaining a proper overview. From what I have seen the left is polluting your text books so I would not be surprised if neo-confederates are as well. I am not saying this book is any kind of gem, its why I asked if anyone had seen all of it. But I don't believe in jumping to conclusions based on a couple of pages. Which goes along with wanting more facts and not someone spoon feeding me the 'It's bad' line. I will decide if something is bad after looking it over properly not on someones say so. I don't know if our aboriginal studies are the best but I don't feel they are the worst either. From what I know of our state schools, I believe aboriginal studies are part of each years curriculum from grade 1 on. I think overall the mistreatment of the aboriginal population has been acknowledged, especially the stolen generation. Our Government did make a public apology back in 2008. Of course there are always people around who will deny it just like there are people who deny the holocaust. I don't know how much is covered in State school high school curriculum since we have always been homeschoolers. Unsure for what grade/s this is, but lessons for Rabbit Proof Fence are available. I had our own kids watch it, it's a very good but heart wrenching film on the stolen generation and well worth watching if you ever want to learn more about Australian Aboriginal history.
