They should teach about the Armenian genocide as thoroughly as the Holocaust.  They also should talk about the 12 million Gentiles that died in the Holocaust as much as the 6 million Jews.

I don't like how Jews get so much of the spotlight.  Include more people.

Lets have an inclusive environment when it comes to talking about the historical genocide of the excluded.  Don't have all the focus be on Jews.  Spread it out.

It all depends upon who instigates propaganda successfully,

And for what reasons.

Native Americans should take over 4 Republican states and make it their own country. I would support them.

You makes some really good points here. I think you are maintaining that the holocaust needs to be taught, so that’s nice, but yeah, I agree with you that maybe it gets a little too much spotlight, aside from some other things that need to be taught too. 

You had me worried with this title, but I actually more or less agree with you here. Often times people can hide behind anti-semitism to excuse horrible actions, like what is happening now in Gaza.

The real problem is that there just isn’t enough time in school curriculums to teach everything necessary. For the record, I was taught about the other killed in the holocaust along with the Jews, but that was it. 

It’s a really sad truth that history is treated just like any other subject, because it is important to learn about our past mistakes, so we don’t make them again. 

This is a major problem with our American educational system, and there is really no apparent solution, at least to me.

I oppose all separatist movements that happen in US territory that negatively affect the US.

It's really easy to teach multiple genocides at once.  You have a test be the following:

1. How many people died in the Halocaust?  18 million.
2. How many people died in the Arminean genocide?  1.5 million.

Have like 5 genocides and learn about the cause for each one in one History unit.

Anyone born in North America is native.

So I'm guessing that said States already have a majority native population.

Injuns came from India, Cowboys came from Cowton and The Cavalry came from John Wayne Land.

Generally speaking, I think survivors from any genocide tend to share more than they should. this is a good thing regardless of how mass media portrays them (i.e. Aljazeera's holocaust denial/downplay segments).
