And that's how we know it's not really about things that make white kids uncomfortable. What kid has ever sat in history or social studies class hearing about terrible people and thought "I identify with them because they're white and I feel attacked!" No one. They just think "that's terrible."

This is about them learning about what really happened and maybe making *Mom and Dad* uncomfortable. (Even then, I'm probably overthinking it, and "uncomfortable" is more likely just marketing cover for "teaching kids anything we don't like is indoctrination.")

Yeah both my kids read about Rosa Parks and MLK and they never once identified with the bad guys in those stories. Kids tend to empathize with the victims
