Well, depending on the age group of the kids I'm sure the context can be discussed or if the historical class talks about genocide (say in different points in history) have students to opt out.
Why are you "sure" about that? What makes you "sure"? Have you had experience teaching history in classrooms? Have you had experience teaching students about genocides?
So far, all indicators point to "no". You seem to be talking out of complete ignorance of the subject under discussion.
Please correct me if I'm wrong with this assessment.
I DID NOT say opposing sides of genocide.
Please read my posts and quote me.
Talking about the efficiency of organizing the Holocaust is talking about a genocide.
If you didn't want to talk about genocide, then why did you enter a discussion about the most infamous genocide in human history?
If this discussion makes you uncomfortable, then feel free to say so and we can just drop the subject altogether.
I actually don't talk about the details of the holocaust. It's too much for my brain to handle. My whole point was open discussion in an education setting to where students can talk about horrific events without being political correct and needing to side with majority opinions.
And you made
my point with exceptional aplomb by bringing up something that seems intuitively true if your knowledge of the subject is minimal, but is horribly wrong when viewed in light of actual, verifiable, known facts.
You underlined very well why discussions based on ignorance and lack of knowledge do not lead to greater understanding, but rather, to a distorted and biased take and a reinforcement of ignorant opinions.
