I think it is imperative that we know the "other" side so we can have empathy for those that need guidance. WTS, positives of slavery may be a little to advanced for middle schoolers.

Can't we understand a group while knowing there is no "positive" of a hate group or slavery?

Out of curiosity though what did you come with?  

• Teaches people how to keep their sheets very white.
• Encourages gathering in groups outside. Helps make like minded friends.
  

I agree that if we can understand why someone joins such an organization maybe we can try to get them out of it.  I just think that's different than looking for positives.  

And I think slavery is even more different.
