"You cannot learn from the past if you refuse to acknowledge it" is a phrase that fits my point exactly. Columbus sailed across the ocean and "discovered" the new world (and yes, I know the Vikings had already been here) but we are no longer allowed to acknowledge that fact because of what he did to the natives. Lee, Jackson, and Longstreet were some of the finest field Generals ever produced in this country, but we can no longer acknowledge that because of slavery. Yet we can put aside Lincolns views on slaves and pretend like he wasn't a racist because of his Emancipation Proclamation. Washington, Jefferson, and all the rest from Columbus to Roosevelt are being wiped from history by the woke mob, because they don't fit today's version of what a person should be.

And BTW, "Woke" is a negative, and finally people are starting to see that. You may think it is the definition you posted, but it's a monster out of control.

There is the bolded and then there is the rest when you seem to think we can't "acknowledge" people?

You can acknowledge them without building statues to them, for example.

Heck maybe we should teach all about it.  We could call it history through a critical lens.  Or a critical look at history or something?

I'm sure the gop would love that!
