Teaching History

How can we teach history? Without bringing hate into the story. How can we teach history? And not bring thirst for revenge to the story. How can we teach history? And keep them and us out of the story. How can we teach history? And forget about who is to blame in the story. How can we teach history? Without making now worse. How can we teach history? And keep fairness in the story. How can we teach history? And make it a hopeful story. How can we teach history? And bring balance to the story. With the right teachers we can? The ones who put the right questions to their students. The ones who highlight sacrifices made, The ones who highlight the importance of forgiveness, The ones who highlight the bonds of friendship in times of strife. The ones who highlight the times war was avoided and how. The ones who highlight the meaning of atonement.
