The past has become a battleground in the cultural wars, as books are pulled from libraries and the teaching of some curricula is halted.
Much of the debate over history is unfolding in Florida, where the wrong type of books are being banned. But not just there. Across the country, teachersThese include the journals of Christopher Columbus, who took slaves; Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, where the n-word is used, and John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, where there is profanity. There have also been objections to Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl., some states mandate the teaching of Black history.
Pulling books from library shelves and forbidding the teaching of some curricula is not just the playbook of Florida Gov., who wants to be president, but much of the Republican Party. Their cloying cry — “Let the parents decide!” — suggests that parents know about their country’s past and how to teach it. More than the professionals?
Still, there are some good things happening in this revisiting of the past. Museums and memorials across the country increasingly celebrate the story of the underclass, including Black and native Americans. Both have national museums in Washington, and women and Hispanics are also likely to get theirs, too.
