i do. Personally i believe that teaching history teaches people to be racist, cruel and selfish.
Because first i remember being in Kindergarden and not knowing the difference between black, white, brown, or anything else i thought everyone was all equal and this world is a happy and safe place to be. But then history started and i learned how cruel people are and how different everyone finds each other and i started seeing the difference between white, black, brown (not in a bad way) just that theres a difference. I know alot of you people would say no they dont see it well i know you do .. everyone does its right in front of your eyes unless your blind i mean its not like i wake up everyday and say oh his brown or his black or oh his white just that we know theres a difference. learning history shows that white people were always in power because they were..well white.. and then larning about holocaust is just creeeeepy it can really move a person and some people arent strong enough t

to learn about that stuff .... because personally find it horrific and i think i dont need to know that stuff.. i mean people can tell me that happened but i dont need to go to class and see those horrific pictures cause i get nightmares and feel really depressed... History is simply a waste of time.

like when a person sees that it is possible to be racist they become that because they think their better. for example if a white person sees a black man getting shot by a white man because his black then that person might think black people are bad so i should go shoot them too..
IF u get what im saying.

No, not at all! (You're a liberal, aren't you?) We have to look at pur past mistakes to mold a better future for our society....if at all possible anymore...

I believe teaching history is necessary in most cases. However in your case, I'd ask your guidance counselor if you can drop history and take an extra literature or grammar class.

How does a society know what it is if it doesn't know about its past? Not all history is racist etc. as you say. When society doesn't remember its past it has no future.
