I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

ICE agents deployed chemicals irritants and left a Minneapolis crash scene after ramming a man’s car and questioning his citizenship.
The man and his wife, both U.S. citizens, said the whole incident started because ICE agents profiled him for being Hispanic.

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying."
It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.
