No it just needs authoritarians such as yourself to leave and find someplace more suitable. Until then, enjoy this society giving the middle finger to your ideas lol.

As soon as I find a place that will take me, I'm gone. That would be much easier if you people would stop trying to export your disgusting democratic ideals to every corner of the globe. As for American society giving me the finger.... Maybe it should remember that I often go armed and have no respect for human life.

Yes, we should be teaching the History. That's not the same thing as what they appear to be wanting to teach in New Mexico. You can teach the history of that area without attempting to create a counter-culture effect while doing it. How about just teaching the facts and leaving it at that? If these kids want to explore the socio-political angles of it they can do it on their own time.

Considering that the USA stole parts of Mexico by force and treated the people who then became Mexican-Americans as second class citizens, we shouldn't be offended when it is described as a rape of their people.

1 - There is no such thing as Mexican-American history. Mexican history OR Anerican history. Not a combination of the two. If they want Nexican history move back to Mexico.

2 - Only appropriate as a portion of early American history so far as I'm concerned.

To the victor go the spoils and they get to write the history as well. Those people should feel fortunate they weren't removed form the conquered area one way or another.

They were allowed to stay. That's about two steps above what I'd have suggested be done with them. Conquered people don't get to choose what happens with them.
