Lies
نص القصة المصورة
- Ever since I was a kid, I remember adults lying about things. From where my baby teeth went to the passing of a relative, there was always a cover up for the harsh truth.
- Still, I had no idea just how much of my knowledge was lies. Sugarcoated statements fed to me, so I wouldn't be upset or uncomfortable.
- Ok. Here we are. October 2016,#160;the first year of American school for me. See the kid zoned out in the purple shirt? Yeah,#160;that's me.#160;Today was a very special day. With a very special unit.
- Christopher ColumbusAim: Students will learn the history behind Columbus Day#160;
- Today, we'll be discussing the history behind Columbus' day. Do any of you know who Christopher Columbus is?#160;
- He discovered America!
- Christopher ColumbusAim: Students will learn the history behind Columbus Day#160;
- Not quite...
- And that was my introduction to Native American history: Accurate addition. Up until this point, my teachers and other adult figures in my life had made Native Americans and Europeans seem like friends almost.
- I remember being pretty upset for the rest of the day.
- I felt horrible. I hated that lesson. It was so messed up and to hear it be talked about so casually was distressing. No one else seemed particularly bothered though.#160;
- My mom had a talk with me later about race and how things worked for minorities. I already#160;knew about slavery, but not to the extent she told me. These kinds of things were always downplayed#160;by history teachers. Slavery was a lot more than captive black people and whipping, as I would learn later.
