So what are we fighting about?


Excerpted form the linked RT-D article…

New research suggests that debates around “history wars,” like the one underway in Virginia, are warping Americans’ ideas of what the other side of the political spectrum believes about what should be taught in schools.

“Many Republicans believe most Democrats want to teach a history defined by shameful oppression and white guilt,” the study states. And, “Many Democrats believe most Republicans want to focus on the white majority and overlook slavery and racism.”

The study finds that both impressions are wrong.

About 83% of Democrats believe students should not be made to feel guilty or personally responsible for the errors of prior generations, but Republicans estimate that number to be 43%.

Meanwhile, about 93% of Republicans believe that Americans have a responsibility to learn from our past and fix our mistakes, while Democrats estimate that only 35% of Republicans have that belief.
