TEACHER: "So, a response to Republicans whenever you say we should teach about slavery or the genocide of indigenous people in the classroom is, 'Oh, well, it happened so long ago. Why do we need to know? Why does anyone need to know?' Okay, why do you learn about the Holocaust? Why do you learn about the Rwandan genocide? Why do you learn about imperialism? Why do you learn about the Enlightenment? Why do you learn about the Soviet Union? Why do you learn about the American Revolution? Why do you learn about the Civil War? All those are in the past. Why do we learn about them? It's — it's almost as though there is a class you take in school where you take about things that happened in the pa — wait a minute, wait. This is all making too much sense right now. It's too much — no."
