20th Century American History, Friday, March 25, 2016
"I don't know if you heard the radio last Saturday," Steve began, "but I thought Mr. Constantine made a good point about not keeping the grimmer parts of the world from you. So today we're going to watch meta for Schindler's List. I'm warning you in advance that there's parts of it that are gonna be tough to take, but it's very important to remember the real history of our country, not just the spit-shined and media friendly stuff. When we forget how cruel and horrible we can be to fellow humans, it's easy to slip back down into an us versus them mindset, and that's incredibly dangerous."
Guess who'd been reading up on modern politics, again, kids.
"Now this particular camp was in Poland, and so it was eventually liberated by the Russian Army, but the Americans and Brits found plenty of their own coming in from the West. I'm turning the lights off, but leaving the door open, so if you need to leave, go ahead, no questions asked." Steve gave them a sad smile. "Tissues are in the back of the classroom, just in case. Here we go."
