Entry 2: Teaching What Really Happened

 I added this picture to showcase how textbooks are revised to make the white supremacist prospective seem like its the only prospective and its the only side of the story. In the reading "Teaching What Really Happened," the author talks about how textbooks are white washed and leave out a lot of information to sensor the horrors of different historical situations. In school, myself, I have thought one thing to be true and have later found out through research and as i got older and able to understand things more that everything being taught to me in history was not fully explained. I feel like this cartoon speaks to that. The teacher is ripping out pages of the textbooks and is only leaving certain parts in it and I feel like that is how America has treated history. They only want us to learn about what is beneficial to the majority instead of including information from all sides.
