While the article goes into great detail about what happened, I can’t seem to see any info on why it happened? What’s going on between the Meitei and the Kuki?
Seconded, although it’s not like gangs of criminals gang-raping innocent people is a phenomenon that demands a nuanced explanation. It’s possible that they did it because they had guns, and they wanted to. There are places in India where criminal gangs operate freely.
The Florida Department of Education says the new standards don’t teach that slavery was beneficial.
However, one of the benchmarks (SS.68.AA.2.3) states students will be taught, “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Anyone able to think of a good argument for explicitly requiring this? I’m having trouble thinking of why you’d call this out in the standards unless, you know, you are a fan of slavery…
Edit: This was supposed to go here, womp womp
I agree with what you’re saying but I think you got bit by the Lemmy bug and posted this to the wrong article.
