As an American who knew my family that immigrated from Germany I wasn’t ashamed of my heritage learning about the Holocaust. Why would I be? I was angry at the Nazis, sad for the Jews, and filled with respect and admiration for the people who risked everything to do what was right.
As a white American I saw similar feelings in the lead up to the civil war units. White people were on every side of that conflict. That’s what happens when your group is the oppressors.
These lessons taught me who to be. They taught me the value of courage, compassion, and siding with the oppressed. I suppose that’s the real reason these people want such lessons banned.
