But you absolutely have to learn from the past. I was in elementary/middle school when we went into Iraq for reasons that were made up by the Bush administration and John Mccain/the republicans. And even if you weren't alive in 2003, you should absolutely learn and study the past because it's crucial in our effort to not repeat our mistakes. This is why I laugh at the conservative right attempting to ban schools from teaching history that make white people look bad/the truth of what really occurred and how it occurred. They are ashamed, and I say this as a white person.
