Schoolchildren all around most of the country, and all over the world, are taught (roughly) the truth about U.S. history. Alabama is one of few outliers.
There, children are taught that blacks and whites have, and have always had, equal rights, and equal protection under the law.
Educator Jonathan Kozol, who recently celebrated his 89th birthday, 67 years after graduating from Harvard summa cum laude, taught young white and black children in the Boston public school system, and wrote an essay in which he posed the question: Why do the parents of black kids not trust white teachers?
Answering his own question, he went on: Did white teachers protest against the use of the racist Scott Foresman elementary school textbooks that taught that “though slavery did exist, most slave owners treated their slaves kindly,” and made numerous other remarks that suggested that the North and South had equal rights to determine whether or not slavery was valid, and should be allowed to exist into perpetuity.
As to the trust issue, he concluded: “It’s simply because we are not worthy of their trust.”
Here’s a suggestion for Kay Ivey, the governor of the most backward state in the union: Tell the truth.
Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.

Today’s America admires the rich, and we have no problem if our leaders are sociopathic rapists.
The more damage they do to the common U.S. citizen, the more we love them.
All they really need to do in order to retain our adoration is to continue to punish people with brown skin and give tax breaks to billionaires.
Quality education, healthcare, protecting our environment, and affordability are all issues for woke communists and sissies.

Let’s not rush to judgement here.
OK, he’s an alcoholic Fox New host who’s led the U.S. military into a huge quagmire that, day by day, continues to destroy the U.S. and world economy.
My gardener is just as well qualified to lead the largest military in human history.
But Hegseth is 100% loyal to Trump. Nothing else matters.
