Why should we be forced to deny to our children that history is full of ugliness and death. It is also filled with splendid tales of heroic deeds, and other moments that defined human beings. Perhaps historical fiction graphic novels would be better than our traditional history books when it comes to conveying this to young people.
These are basically comic books that utilize all the details historians and researchers know about certain events in history. Some details must be improvised, which is why they are regarded as fictional recollections. However, considering how our text books are written now, no amount of artists license could possible bend the truth any further than we already have.
Young people who grow up reading comic books are often inspired to become physicists, scientists, and astronauts through their reading. Science, mathematics, and quantum theory all comprise the backdrop of many of these stories. When the readers realize that these technologies are being developed, it ignites their souls.
Why should be lessons teaching our past be any less colorful and engaging than the stories predicting our future. In fact, if we want our future to be anything close to the technological dawn that comic books portray, then we better start really teaching history. Those who have been counted on for this duty have been letting mankind down for centuries.
When we make history as exciting as science fiction, then we create a connection in young minds between past and present. Memorizing lists of dates, names, and events never taught a student anything meaningful. However, a colorful novel filled with images of the real pain, suffering, and glory of humanity makes this information stick in way that creates an impression.
Even though the information should be presented in a manner that fits the age of the child, this should not mean they are educated with fanciful stories designed to make them feel like they are part of a winning team. The preposterous story of the first Thanksgiving in America is just such a story, told in a manner that insults every native person who ever died under a small-pox laden blanket.
Modern historians and researchers are seeking to reveal truths and allow radical new theories of our origins that rock the establishment to its core. This information can no longer be hidden from the world, but our educational system still fails to keep up with these changes out of dogmatic fear. Their disgrace should be engraved on their gravestones.
It is not simply not knowing the past which condemns mankind to repeated patterns of behavior. You can memorize all the dates, names, battles, and events you want. If we cannot teach in a way that connects this random stream of data to where humans are now, explaining why the world is in the state that exists, then go ahead and get ready for the next Dark Age.
