11th grade US history!

1. Students will examine the causes of the Spanish-American war and analyze its effects on foreign policy, national identity, and the debate over the new role of America as a growing power in the Pacific and Latin America.

Absolutely! Any time you expose racist feelings that are underlying within a community, at the very least the exposure is a positive thing. Perhaps nothing concrete will come of it, this time, but history can't be redacted so easily these days. This happened, and it can't be taken back.

So where do you draw the line? If a fake stunt helped the cause, what would something more dramatic accomplish? How far do you take the fake stunt before it becomes too far? How about spray painting the N word on a student's car? Or maybe, a few blacks can put on white hoods and assault another black student. Wouldn't that cause a national outrage?

That would be good for the cause of exposing racism. Wouldn't it?

DavidSt is pretty bad too out of pure ridiculousness on the realignment board. That said, I've never seen anybody as ready and willing to double down on stupidity like Bison.

I guess this means you were making reference to an obscure detail, which isn't taught in high school, of the Spanish-American war, which generally is taught.

But like I said, I don't advocate for any of this stuff. Including putting notes on windshields, "fake" or "real".

Moreso, my point and challenge to you guys, was to reject and dismantle the false narrative of "oh the note was fake, that means nothing happened, redact it from history!"

Here's the secret: ...... none of this matters. There are no points or medals awarded in real life, for being the "best" internet message board poster.

No, but there's plenty of deductions for being ignorant.

If you studied the Spanish American war and the USS Maine / yellow journalism did not come up then you are a walking talking case to give every kid in Minneapolis vouchers and close the public schools.

If, on the other hand, they did teach it and you just were not paying attention you prove the adage "Those that do not learn from history....."

Quote:On April 21, 1898, the United States declared war against Spain. It would be the first overseas conflict fought by the U.S. It involved major campaigns in both Cuba and the Philippine Islands.

The reasons for war were many, but there were two immediate ones: America's support the ongoing struggle by Cubans and Filipinos against Spanish rule, and the mysterious explosion of the battleship U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor.

Thanks for that. I have to admit I don't remember this either. I wasn't a good student in HS.

MlpsBison is being educated on the Spanish American war and it's root causes. Or as he calls them "obscure details".

I graduated HS in 1997 and I don't remember this topic covered at all. Granted I wasn't a A student and partied a lot between then and now. LOL.

I remember the Revolution, Civil War, NC history and Civics primarily.
