Children should not be taught the lies they are currently being taught. They should not know the complete truth, but they should not be lied to, and made believe a complete different story that did not happen.
An example would be teaching children about the Indians. Currently children are being taught that the Native Americans and the white men were best friends! How weird is that?! Instead of being told that, they should be told that the white men did not like them at all. They should leave out the "bad" details.As they years pass, you build on more to that information.
Its like when you are in first grade and you are being taught simple arithmetic. You start off by just knowing your addition. Simple addition of course. Then as time progresses you start to add more and more to it. Such as double digit addition and then you get to three digits and above! Then from there you do multiplication and division. You should just add on more to the current knowledge.
So I believe that is what teachers should do.
They should tell them we were not to nice to them in kinder-garden and grade one.
Then by grade five you could add in that there was a couple wars with them about land. By grade eight, they should be big boys and big girls and be able to handle the facts. That the white men would scalp the Indians, and rape the women and what not.
So yes, change the way children are being taught now. They should grow up believing the truth, and not a life of misconception that has been going on for years now.
