In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.

Not that complicated.

Passed by the Federalist-controlled nat'l government, it made it a crime for US citizens to "print, utter, or publish...any false, scandalous, and malicious writing" re: the gov't.
