An interesting idea from Germany ...
by Walter Richards
The story says currently, Germany and France are already using such books. Though I noticed that the history is only after 1945.
This is an interesting idea, that I think should be encouraged in our own schools. The challenge nowadays, would be to find someone to write it from the American side who wasn’t an “apologist”.

No, scott. To me, an “apologist” is someone who is basically a self-hater. They think everything America did (and does) is “wrong”. They are either incapable of seeing the good in America, or acknowledging it.

Tell me Walter, since you brought up apologies, how do you feel about the State of Virginia apologizing for its role in slavery?
see: “Virginia Apologizes for Role in Slavery” at:
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Slavery-Apology.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print
Do you feel that all apologies are wrong? Is anyone who reflects on our shared American history, then suggests that there were things that we did that were wrong an “apologist?”
Or could it be that you are simply using another label to call people names instead of attempting to address the very real, very complex issues that exist in the world because of our history.
