Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?
They should also learn about the party switch and the fact that Abraham Lincoln was still a blatant…
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museumhttps://presidentlincoln.illinois.gov/learn/educators/educator-resources/teaching-guides/lincolns-views-african-american-slavery/ This was Lincoln's latest views before he died:
"As he described the work of 12,000 Louisianans loyal to the Union who had abolished slavery within the state, Lincoln, for the first time by any president, publicly stated that he favored giving at least some Black men, including the “very intelligent and...those who serve our cause as soldiers” the right to vote. His public endorsement of limited black suffrage prompted John Wilkes Booth, who stood watching from the crowd, to declare “that is the last speech he will ever make.” Three days later, on April 14, 1865, Booth shot Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre, fatally wounding the 16th President of the United States."
So not only did his views on white supremacy never actually change, but the most he even conceded was that "some black people should maybe be allowed to vote"...which is still far from the "black equality" you suggested.
Secondly, yes, of course it would be an oversimplification to believe that the party switch was some kind of direct 1-to-1 swap, instead of a decades-long evolution/devolution of mainstream party policies and values and voter bases, but it was still a generalized switch nonetheless. Considering I already know from our previous engagements that you are a party switch denier, and also a far-right religious middle-schooler, it's pretty clear that you have not "studied history for any significant amount of time" regardless. Do you need me to disprove your young-earth creationism again too, because that's also pretty blatantly ahistorical...
