Recently I was assigned to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for my Young Adult Literature class.
Then I was assigned three articles in the Argumentative Writing class to read for homework, and lo and behold...there was an article about Huck Finn.
Who knew?
I find this article very interesting. Thoughts?

I would say Chadwick-Joshua and Judge Reinhardt hit it on the head. If we try to forget or hide history we are bound to repeat it or something like it, and kids can think for themselves by 8th grade or so as they found out in Brooklyn. Some of it would depend on the teacher, the rest on the students to think critically about it. If we aren't teaching kids to think critically about what has happened in the past and what is going on around them in the present, then I would worry about the future.
