"Part of the problem is that so many Americans have their personal identity connected to the prevailing lies about American history." "I wish I knew how to get through to them."

Until they decide to open their minds (and, most likely, they won't), it is impossible to get through to them. Unfortunately, the pain, violence, and war caused by those who refuse to learn and accept the facts continues to cause harm to all of the world. Yes, indeed, the adults have made a mess of things. My answer is to concentrate on reaching the children; teaching them critical thinking skills and allowing them to find their voices. I would be great if schools concentrated less on standardized testing and more on critical thinking, but parents and mentors of young children need to practice critical thinking and deep listening schools at home.
