Here is a snippet of a story about homeschooling by WaPo today. History, she said, was taught from a religious and conservative point of view. She said that she was told, for instance, that the slave trade was “meant for evil but God made it for good” and that things worked out for enslaved people “because they got to be Christians.”

Katie Maine, a family friend who spent a lot of time at the Ray house, recalled learning there that the Holocaust was a horrific event but one used by God to help Jews “realize their Christianity.” Wonder no longer about why kids don't understand the Holocaust. Also, wasn't this the same Republican party that made posters with dollar bills, the Star of David and George Soros against their political foes? I'm pretty sure they did it to Hilary Clinton.
